Recent Changes -> Contribs and "Invalid user ID specified."

Clicking on "Contribs" alognside a username in Recent Changes results in "Invalid user ID specified."

Fresh installation of v4.0.0 Gamma 4.
PHP 5.3.27
vBulletin 4.2.2

Clicking on "Contribs" alongside a username in Recent Changes results in an error screen, "Invalid user ID specified."

FWIW, I tinkered and found that the URL it was trying is:

Code:

wiki_index.php?title=Special:Contributions&user=1

... but when I maually poke at the URL like so:

Code:

wiki_index.php?title=Special:Contributions&userid=1

Note: "userid", instead of "user"

... the page seems to function as expected.

FYI...

Same thing applies to "Contributors", as below a page. Hover over the name, see the "Show contributions" link, and blammo, as above.

Change the "user" to "userid" in the querystring, and it appears to behave as expected.

I think the user parameter is for usernames, while the userid is used for the ID. It might just be that the links are using user for everything.

This occurs also if you enter the "User Contributions" page through the "Special Pages"->"Wiki Data Reports"->"Contributions".

You enter the username of the person you want to see, hit "Go", and get the same error. No URL parameters appear in this case, presumably because this is now a POST, although the same error results (for easy to imagine reasons, from my perspective).

Is there some crossed wire in this page, mixing "user" with "userid"?

In any case, all contribs-by-user type functionality is "broken" as-is. The "workaround" is to manually edit the URL in the browser, which isn't all that great...

If you could provide some pointers, I'd dive into the code myself and see what's where, here? Heh.

Thanks.

Fixed in the next release.

As for the form-based option, this can be fixed by editing vault/core/controller/ui/special/data/contributions/vw.php. Find:

Code:

$this->user = vw_Hard_Core::controller('Fetch/User')->get_by_name('User', $usertext);

Replace with:

Code:

$this->user = vw_Hard_Core::controller('Fetch/User')->get_by_name($usertext);
