Update for 1.17

This is great! I wish it worked on 1.17, though. Any idea on when an update might be published?

--Fulv 06:21, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

This extension was created for my company and I don't currently have any requirements to upgrade 1.17. So no plans here. Perhaps some more motivated individual will come along.

I haven't tested it, but the extension should work in 1.17 with the exception of purge user. LanceGatlin 17:03, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Verified that this indeed works on 1.17.

Deletion

How does this extension handle the reassignment of deleted users' contributions? Kudu ^~I/O~ 21:13, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Mediawiki already has a concept of "delete" that implies the ability to undo the delete. I use the term "purge" to mean deletion that cannot be undone. When purging a user, the user's content is also purged. This includes revisions, uploads, pages, etc. The purge user function is intended to be used to get rid of spam accounts. If you want to "delete" a user (and preserve their content), block user should be used. LanceGatlin 17:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Error Report User Names with lowerCase first character

User Names with lowercase first characters will result in nothing. No user will be added, thats OK while Media Wiki will not allow this User Names. But there are no error Message. Thats not OK

Eather give an error Message or do it like MediWiki, Uppercase the first character by force.

Thank you

btw. A Update to 1.17 would be fine 91.23.246.228 10:27, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Extension should work in 1.17 with exception of purging.

To clarify your bug: When incorrectly creating a user with a lower-case first name, no user is added, but no error message is displayed.? LanceGatlin 17:04, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Wrong parameters for Exception when changing user password

Bug: edit a user, set a new password or edit its groups, save change: Fatal error: Wrong parameters for Exception([string $exception [, long $code ]]) in /www/w/extensions/UserAdmin/SpecialUADMBase.class.php on line 43. Running MediaWiki 1.16.5, PHP 5.2.17 (cgi), MySQL 5.0.90-log. --almaghi 12:50, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

It sounds like the exception reporting for a failure isn't working, I'll look into this. Did you put some text into the reason field? LanceGatlin 17:13, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

I just came across this error in my install, it may be that PHP < 5.3 only has two parameters to the Exception constructor.

I am running MediaWiki 1.17, PHP 5.2.11

I changed "extensions/UserAdmin/SpecialUADMBase.class.php" thusly:

//parent::__construct($message, $code, $previous);

parent::__construct($message, $code);

That error went away, and 1.17 now seems to work with this extension.

Thanks,

r.b. 166.67.66.7 20:25, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Your answer worked like a charm. Can confirm this solution. 188.204.222.226 11:56, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Should the update.php script be ran after installing this extension ?

almaghi 13:05, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

No, update.php is not necessary for UserAdmin extension. LanceGatlin 17:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Purge user throws an error

Hi. I'm running version v0.9.0-0-gdf8645d with MW 1.16.5. When I try to purge a user I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to private method User::loadGroups() from context 'SpecialUADMBase'

Replacing loadGroups() with public getGroups() (which calls loadGroups() ) in all instances of UserAdmin will make the error go away...

Bug in Recent Changes when user deleted

I get a strange bug when I delete an (spam)user.

If there is a "Recent changes" transclusion in a page : - the title of the page becomes "Special:RecentChanges/15,hideminor" - the title (<h2>Recent changes</h2> for instance) just above the "Recent changes" transclusion shows "UNIQ2faf6df0429204f9-h-0--QINU Recent changes"

If I suppress the "Recent changes" transclusion, the bug disappears. And few days later, when the line "user XXX deleted" disappears, then this bug disappears.

Anyone has noticed the same problem and maybe fixed it ? (Not really bothering but not nice-looking) Varlin (talk) 10:52, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

It seems to be related to this issue, but I can't manage to find the good hack ! Varlin (talk) 18:44, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Works with 1.19 (modified) Still Not Working

A Q&D modifiction will make it work on 1.17 1.18 and 1.19, as long as the uploadstash (new since 1.16) wasn't affected.

change SpecialPurgeUserClass.php from

   switch($versionMinor)
   {
     case 16:
       $purge = new MWPurge_1_16;
       break;
     default:
       return $this->getPOSTRedirectURL( false, wfMsg( 'uadm-unsupportedversionmsg', $abortError) );
   }

into

   switch($versionMinor)
   {
     case 16:
     case 17: // Possible problem with uploadstash table; ignored for now 
     case 18:
     case 19:
       $purge = new MWPurge_1_16;
       break;
     default:
       return $this->getPOSTRedirectURL( false, wfMsg( 'uadm-unsupportedversionmsg', $abortError) );
   }

The value for uadm-unsupportedversionmsg was missing from UserAdmin.i18n.php

Very useful extension to get rid of the myriads of spam-accounts, tnx! - Arent (talk) 20:00, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

When I attempt to go to Special:AddUser, for example, I get the following:

Hi Terry,

I'm also using 1.20.2. I'm only a few days old in using Media Wiki so I installed this extension. I see the options to Add User, Delete, etc...but I can't really add a user. When I click on Add a user, it goes onto a new page and shows "No Such Special Page: You have requested an invalid special page.". Am I missing something after I installed this extension?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you! 75.72.177.47 01:30, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Terry, can you please make a screenshot and upload here, as in the screenshot in the article looks like, it does not look at my wiki?! Hello IP 75.72.177.47, which version do you have installed on your wiki? Latest version is 0.5.0, maybe is your version older?!

Kind regards, Sandro Abani79 (talk) 14:20, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Addendum: I must correct myself, version 0.9.0 is already available. Well my version is 0.5.0 and it works except for CSS quite well so far. Abani79 (talk) 14:23, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Abani,

Thanks for responding to my above post (75.72.177.47). I have downloaded only few days ago so I have the latest version 0.9.0. I can see all the new options installed with it. But however I can't create a new user. As I mentioned above when I click the 'Add a User' button, it goes to new page and tells me "No Such Special Page: You have requested an invalid special page.".

Am I missing anything here? Do we need to do any configuration after we install the extention to get it all working?

Appreciate your time. Thanks! Pandu Peddisetti (talk) 20:53, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi ppl, i'd some experimenting with the layout of the table around, as it is easy to bare and cluttered effect, although the screenshot shows everything on the side of this extension to HTML style.

Anyway, here is a screenshot of it, so in my case currently, the table (s) looks like. Unfortunately, only the top row will be displayed in a table instead of all, my knowledge of HTML are low, maybe someone know how you would get those blemishes with the table in the handle and would like to look at the code again?

Update:

The code snippet is very small, it can be found starting at line 237, but I did not trust myself to experiment further, you can if you like to try it and let us know what has been changed / should be.

Btechnix (talk) 21:58, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, it definitely seems like this is a main problem. If I manually change the ? to a & on pages that give the error it works fine, although you can't do that with some of the functions obviously.

I tried your fix. Worked like a charm. Thanks! 76.118.31.113 02:21, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

This fix worked fine for me, however, when editing an email address, I need to change back the & to a ? in order to get it to work. Maybe an if which checks if an ? or & is needed needs to be implemented somewhere along this code.. Sadly I don't have the time right now to experiment with this. I don't need to change things that often so changing the ? to an & or vice versa is not that much work, but it is not an ideal situation 130.255.16.114 09:03, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Same here. I added this:

to the end of the LocalSettings.php file, and lost the entire wiki. I needed to comment it out to get the wiki back again. I wonder where I am supposed to add the fix mentioned above by Btechnix...? Stoczko (talk) 07:48, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

@Stoczo, you need to add only the following line at the end of your LocalSettings.php file

require_once("$IP/extensions/UserAdmin/UserAdmin.php"); 83.246.9.107 14:48, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

We finally made it work for MW 1.26. These are the changes you need to make:

1- Mentioned earlier in this thread:

Near line 440 in SpecialUADMBase.class.php change the if to look like

if (strpos($retvURL,'?')!==FALSE){

$retvURL .= '&' . http_build_query($nonDefaultParams);

}else{

$retvURL .= '?' . http_build_query($nonDefaultParams);

}

2- Function isValidEmailAddr has been deprecated versions ago, so you need to change that call in SpecialEditUser.class.php and SpecialAddUser.class.php.

User::isValidEmailAddr( ... ) changes to:

Sanitizer::validateEmail ( ... )

and that's it. Lungpu (talk) 14:36, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

At line 59 of the page mentioned in the error I have: "wfLoadExtensionMessages('UserAdmin');" I would really appreciate any help. Thank you, Sevastian 78.96.65.139 07:27, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Details about the installation:

MediaWiki Version : 1.21.1, 1.19.7

PHP version: 5.3.23

MySQL version: 5.1.69-cll 78.96.65.139 08:01, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Had the same problem with the upgrade; you have to comment out the call to wfLoadExtensionMessages as explained here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project%3ASupport%20desk/Flow/2013/06#h-wfLoadExtensionMessages%28%29_removed_from_1.21.1%3F-2013-06-08T18%3A59%3A00.000Z

But the UserAdmin still doesn't work; I'm getting the "No special page" error if I try to do anything. Pchestek (talk) 14:42, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Using ? instead of & in URLs

Hi - Most pages do not work, because they incorrectly prepend their URL arguments with "?" instead of "&", e.g. http://www.liblfds.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:UserAdmin?pagesize=100 Which has to be; http://www.liblfds.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:UserAdmin&pagesize=100 (the character preceeding "pagesize=100" being different). 2.25.57.93 19:01, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

To fix that change SpecialUADMBase.class.php about line 440 in function getURL($params) to replace '?' by '&',

from:

$retvURL .= '?' . http_build_query($nonDefaultParams);

to:

$retvURL .= '&' . http_build_query($nonDefaultParams);

User Administration block and purge not working

Hi. I have; PHP 5.3.17 (cli) (built: Sep 17 2012 20:19:13) MediaWiki 1.18.2 PHP 5.3.17 (cgi-fcgi) PostgreSQL 9.2.1 When trying to mass purge, I see an unsupported version error (this is after correcting for the ?/& bug). When trying to mass block, the following URL is generated; http://www.liblfds.org/mediawiki/doPOST Which generates a 404. 2.25.57.93 19:04, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Purge User not working

Going to purge user, I enter a username ("1t6a0t19942") and hit search. This takes me to the following URL; http://www.liblfds.org/mediawiki/index.php?username=1t6a0t19942 Which simply shows the root wiki page. Total fail. Third extension I've tried to obtain the capability to mass delete spam users, not a one of them works. 2.25.57.93 19:08, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

It really doesn't seem to be working on 1.19: I'm also getting redirected to the main page of my wiki. Slashme (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Bug in Filter function

Actually, the URL is: http://domain.ext/wiki/index.php?filterby=User+Name&filterneg=0&filterop=0&filtertext=test but it lacks the expression title like this: http://domain.ext/wiki/index.php?title=Spécial:UserAdmin&filterby=User+Name&filterneg=0&filterop=0&filtertext=test With this last URL the function is fully operational, but I'm not enough PHP to fix it Btechnix (talk) 18:48, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

@Add user, can not create any account except a type whose ID is started with a number

In my wiki, when adding user, first letter of ID must be a number(ex>8abcdef) or it can not create an account presenting the message "Invalid user name." This is very weird. I would like to add accounts being made up only alphabets. Please help me to find out the solution. Ggpid (talk) 05:16, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

I get the same thing , just installed most recent version of mediawiki and useradmin and i get the same thing , only users that work are numeric ones. 86.127.194.67 08:27, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I seem to be having the same problem, though I didn't notice that adding a number to the front worked until I had visited this page. 149.149.135.104 18:04, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

I just noticed from examining the .php code (specifically User.php -> isValidUserName) that the username is considered invalid if it starts with a lowercase letter (although evidentally starting with a number is fine). This is a MediaWiki restriction, not an UserAdmin extension specific thing.

Specifically this function checks for (and considers the username invalid if found):

the username is an IP address

is an empty string (duh)

contain slashes

is longer than the maximum allowed username

_doesn't begin with a capital letter_ (ding ding ding, though again numbers seem to be fine) 149.149.135.104 18:18, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

? for % fix not working for No such special page

Hello, I read some past posts on this page and found the fix that switches the ? for a & in the URL, but when applying that I get the following error: Fatal error: Wrong parameters for Exception([string $exception [, long $code ]]) in /ip/ois/www/admissions/wiki/extensions/UserAdmin/SpecialUADMBase.class.php on line 43 The URL being requested is: http://ois.indiana.edu/admissions/wiki/index.php?title=Special:AddUser&returnto=Special%3AUserAdmin The version I'm using is 1.19.7, in case that may be a factor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 2001:18E8:2:1018:242E:9826:F0D5:9B9E 15:04, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

This is the block of code at line 43:

/*

* Exception class for throwing invalid PUT parameters

*/

class InvalidPOSTParamException extends InvalidArgumentException {

public function __construct($message, $code = 0, Exception $previous = null)

{

parent::__construct($message, $code, $previous);

}

}

Specifically, the line that begins with "parent::" 2001:18E8:2:1018:242E:9826:F0D5:9B9E 15:14, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Got it! Read more posts and got to one that involved changing the code at line 43:

parent::__construct($message, $code, $previous);

to

parent::__construct($message, $code); 2001:18E8:2:1018:242E:9826:F0D5:9B9E 15:48, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Error purging user who has contributions with apostrophe in the name

I am having trouble purging a user. When I hit the "confirm purge" button, I get the following:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "". Database returned error "1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's_Swivel_concept.jpg','Brandon.jpg','CG1.jpg','Chair_01.JPG','Chair_Assembly.JPG' at line 1 (localhost)".

It seems to be due to an image this user uploaded with the filename "Brandon's_Swivel_concept.jpg" . It seems that mediawiki can handle the upload (probably by escaping the apostrophe in the SQL), but that UserAdmin can't. 149.149.135.105 16:41, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

MW = 1.21.1 + UserAdmin : error and solution ‎

According to mediawiki] from MW1.21.1 the function wfLoadExtensionMessages() is removed. (other interesting link https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/52503 ) Now, UserAdmin don't works and you have to edit extensions/UserAdmin/SpecialUADMBase.class.php and comment (with //) row 59 :

wfLoadExtensionMessages('UserAdmin');

and it works! kraba 08:23, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Patch for MW 1.24.1 and external authentication

We've found a few problems with UserAdmin and MW 1.24.1:

User::ValidEmailAddr() is gone, it's necessary to use Sanitizer::validateEmail() instead.
wfLoadExtensionMessages() is no longer required.

The patch below for UserAdmin 0.9.1 fixes these problems and adds a configuration variable $wgUserAdminExternalAuth. If true, then UserAdmin basically disables all the password options. In our setup we use LDAP for authNZ and don't want local passwords. I haven't looked at submitting this to the UserAdmin author for consideration yet, but I post it here in case it's useful for anyone else.
