question about extra edit buttons

Thanks for the great extension! I'm trying to install it on my local mediawiki installation. I'm having a bit of trouble..

I created a user MarkS and copied the css file to User:MarkS/XEB/live.css and the .js file to User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js and added this line in MarkS/monobook.js:

// Script from User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js

importScript('User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js'); //User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js

in the error console of firefox I get the following error:

Error: invalid label

Source File: :http://localhost/FLM/mediawiki-1.9.3/index.php?title=User:MarkS/monobook.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s

Line: 1, Column: 16

Source Code:

{{subst:js|User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js}}

pointing to the colon after the word 'User' above

can you please point me to your previous answers regarding local installation

thanks a lot for your time and any help!

Sorry for the delay in reply I've been away. My best guess is that your setup doesn't like the 'importScript' function. I suspect this function is somewhere in English Wikipedia rather than the MediaWiki software. Try using the following lines in monobook.js instead of the line importScript line:

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
            + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js' 
            + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

By the looks of it the top of XEB article has been updated for a new form of including scripts which might not work on other setups. I'll amend the main XEB documentation. Let me know how you get on. --MarkS(^talk) 19:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
