also there is a minor glitch: 
the file:///-icon is showing up two times on the edit page, but showing up not at all at the "show preview" page. my skills in programming php and js are nearly zero, so any help would be highly appreciated.

: now it's perfect, thank you very much! --[[User:Mel999|Mel999]] 01:12, 15 September 2006 (JST)

another issue had come up here:
I see the "some problem with FileLinkExtension"-alert very often, mainly with newly created pages, but cannot reproduce it at 100% :-( i commented out the update and the preview mode changes, but didn't help. would there be a workaround to not show the annoying alert? 

btw: you probably did mixup some of your extensions ;-)
imho it should be
function filelinkDo (&$parser, &$text){
global $wgRequest;
global $wgFilelinkExtensionPath;
instead of
function addbuttonDo (&$parser, &$text){
global $wgRequest;
global $wgAddButtonExtensionPath;

== Corrupted file for 0.2.tar.gz? ==

When I download and untar the FileLinkExtension.0.2.tar.gz, it appears to be corrupted. Here's my anonymized session transcript:

user@host extensions $ md5sum *.gz
4480583ab11f8eff909831d2fdc6f86b FileLinkExtension.tar.gz
2a7bca5f8fdb81b261a8015b68a90a85 Image FileLinkExtension.0.2.tar.gz
user@host extensions $ gzip -d Image\ FileLinkExtension.0.2.tar.gz
user@host extensions $ tar -xvf Image\ FileLinkExtension.0.2.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
user@host extensions $
The FileLinkExtension.tar.gz can be untarred OK. I've also tried to untar the 0.2.tar.gz file using WinZip, but I get a similar error message.

== some problem with FileLinkExtension ==
a "Solution" to the "Problem" could be to comment out the alert function ;0). I can not see any Problem with the extension in my Wiki, so i choosed to comment out the alert function.

edit "mainfile.js" search for <pre>
alert("some problem with FileLinkExtension");
</pre>
...replace with ...
<pre>
//alert("some problem with FileLinkExtension");
</pre>
br [[User:Patrik|Patrik]]

The problem-message only occurs when I put the button into the preview-mode. Perhaps this will help finding the cause of the problem.

I used Patrik's "solution", so I don't see the message anymore, but I'd like to know what caused it to appear in the first place. ;)

== extension-directory of current version ==

The lines for LocalSettings.php should look like this for the current version of the extension

#settings for fileLinkExtension
$wgFilelinkExtensionPath = "extensions/FileLinkExtension.0.2";
include("$IP/$wgFilelinkExtensionPath/FileLinkExtension.php");
#end settings for fileLinkExtension

== Extension doesn't work on MediaWiki v1.9+ ==

Howdy good folk. Thanks for this extension - i'm using it in an internal company Wiki. Found a bug in the code which seems to crop up for MediaWiki Version 1.9+. The extension throws an error, expecting a return value from fileLinkDo, called by ParserBeforeTidy.

Fixed this by replacing:

#########new part###########
static $done=0;
if ( $done ) {
return;
}
$done=1;

with
#########new part###########
static $done=0;
if ( $done ) {
return true;
}
$done=1;

... and adding a return false; (instead of return;) to the else section as below

}else{
//Either not an edit attempt, or not logged in
//Do nothing be silent without bothering innocent visitors.
return false;
}

Otherwise, awesome extension. This will be handy because I'm trying to get Wiki doco happening in a rusted-on Sharepoint shop!
