Installation

NOTICE: Up-to-date instalation instructions can be fount at the extension page in mediawiki.org (link above).

1. Download the extension and install it as ./extensions/Wikilog , relative to your MediaWiki installation directory. You may checkout the latest version from the version control repository in this directory, or uncompress one of the ''zip'' or ''tgz'' archives provided and rename/symlink the directory created.
   
   NOTE: The directory name must either have that name, or $wgWikilogStylePath must be set to the proper path in order for the extension to reference stylesheets and images from the extension directory.
2. Backup your database and local configuration, it is always a good idea.
3. Configure the extension in your LocalSettings.php file by adding the following lines (replace 100, with the first even-numbered namespace greater than or equal to 100 available in your wiki):
   
   require_once( 'extensions/Wikilog/Wikilog.php' ); Wikilog::setupNamespace( 100, 'Blog', 'Blog_talk' );
4. Run the ./maintenance/update.php script in order to create or update the tables used by the extension.
   
   NOTE: This script needs to be executed every time the extension (or MediaWiki) is upgraded.
