[edit] [FIXED] $wgArticle - non-object on special pages

FYI: I currently get the following error whenever trying to access Special: or MediaWiki: pages:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /hsphere/local/home/dduran/innoviki.com/extensions/WikiDB.php on line 63

59.	function wfWikiDB_AddActionTabs(&$ContentActions) { 
60.		global $wgArticle, $action; 
61.		global $wgWikiDBNamespaces;
62.		
63.		$Title = $wgArticle->getTitle(); 
64.		if ($Title->isTalkPage())
65.			$Title = $Title->getSubjectPage();

There's some discussion here about the merits of $wgArticle vs. $wgTitle between MW1.5 and MW1.6. Not sure I understand but wanted to point it out.

I'm running: MW:1.6.5 PHP:4.3.11 (apache) MySQL:4.0.26-standard-log

Hi - Thanks for the heads up - I think I've fixed this now:

59.	function wfWikiDB_AddActionTabs(&$ContentActions) { 
60.		global $wgTitle, $action; 
61.		global $wgWikiDBNamespaces;
62.		
63.		$Title =& $wgTitle; 
64.		if ($Title->isTalkPage())
65.			$Title = $Title->getSubjectPage();

Let me know if this works on 1.6.5 (it seems to work fine here on 1.5.6). --HappyDog 19:58, 1 October 2006 (BST)

Works like a charm! I'm up and starting to play around. Thanks. :) Is there a decent reference for these MW functions? I was trying to use $wgTitle->getTitle(); which apparently is incorrect. Blckdmnd99 21:46, 1 October 2006 (BST)

I've not found one yet - I just dip into the MW source, or ask on IRC. Check meta though, there's some good stuff there, even if it's not always easy to find... --HappyDog 22:52, 1 October 2006 (BST)
