InputBox
Box types
The default location of the submit button(s) is below the input box. The submit button can be moved to the right by using the line break parameter to eliminate the line break between the input box and the submit button: break=no
Having the submit button to the right is useful for search boxes when search suggestions would otherwise cover up a search button below the search box.
| Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type=search |
<inputbox> type=search </inputbox> |
Creates a search box which has a default width of 50 characters. Information added in the text box is searched for. |
| type=create |
<inputbox> type=create </inputbox> |
Creates a new page. Information added in the text box is the name of the page which is edited. |
| type=comment |
<inputbox> type=comment </inputbox> |
Adds a new section to the bottom of the page specified in the text box. |
| type=commenttitle |
<inputbox> type=commenttitle page=Talk:Old main page </inputbox> |
Adds a new section with the section header typed into the text box. The page has to be specified with page= parameter. Added in rev:42703.
|
| type=fulltext |
<inputbox> type=fulltext </inputbox> |
Search only with the fulltext search button, without the 'Go' button. Added in rev:45269. |
For type=search2 the default location for the search button is to the right. Currently, it does not seem to be possible to add other parameters to this type of input box. This search box searches the entire wiki that it is placed on.
| Type | Example |
|---|---|
| type=search2 |
<inputbox> type=search2 </inputbox> |

Fatal error
Fatal error: Class 'COM' not found in C:\wiki2\extensions\Graphviz\GraphViz.php on line 377
It was working fine when the server (XAMPP) was running on a Windows XP system, but I've moved it to a Windows 7 system and now this error pops up. --Korby (talk) 12:07, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
You need dot-net in php.ini
I had the same issue. It worked fine on one machine and it didn't work on another. You must install vcredist_x86 from Microsoft as suggested by the xampp-installer. Then you have to add extension=php_com_dotnet.dll to your php.ini
