Forum:Make "Piggyback" extension suitable for any MediaWiki

I just did the following in PuTTY: svn checkout http://svn.wikia-code.com/wikia/trunk/extensions/wikia/Piggyback but it doesn't work!!! I also wonder how to get Phalanx working. -- 00:22, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Try Trac on https. Once you get it downloaded, try to locate the dependencies, might be helpful to look at the error codes to see what it's looking for, and then locate it in the repository. 01:03, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't want to. I don't know the Wikia structure well and I can't locate any require_once's. I wanted someone who was familiar with the Wikia structure to tell me how it works directly. -- 02:03, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Two things. Firstly, Ty is knowledgable about the Wikia structure and is trying to help you out- why don't you just try. Secondly, insulted Ty by saying that he is not familiar with this and you're not going to try his suggestion is probably going to stop others from helping you. --  Kangaroopowah  ( Talk ) 02:17, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Piggyback is an extension that does the same thing as Sudo, use that one. Phalanx uses a shared database for Wikia and some other specific sql tables and extensions to work propperly so that is difficult to get it. Basically Phalanx is a merge of SpamBlacklist, Title Blacklist, SpamRegex and Regexblock. —This (wall • contribs) . Please sign your posts with

 * @Kangaroo: I'm a little frustrated, so when VegaDark told me the specifics, I was happy. I hope TyA realizes I don't flock to the forums even if I HAVEN'T A CLUE OF HOW THE CODE WORKS. -- 03:03, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
