This extension is designed to integrate the SimpleViewer flash gallery into MediaWiki. SimpleViewer is available for use free of charge for commercial and non-commercial purposes.
Example
Installation
|
- Create a folder called SimpleViewer inside your wiki extensions folder
- Download the SimpleViewer.php script
- Save the script into the SimpleViewer folder as SimpleViewer.php
- Download the SimpleViewer flash application from Airtight Interactive
- Unpack the zip and save the resulting simpleviewer folder inside exensions/SimpleViewer
- Make sure all the files are readable by the web server. On most hosting platforms this means giving them a Unix mode of 755 - making them readable by everybody.
- Add this line to LocalSettings.php
require('$IP/extensions/SimpleViewer/SimpleViewer.php');
- Check that the extension in installed by looking at Special:Version on your wiki. SimpleViewer should appear under Parser hooks
- Create a test page containing the text:
{{simpleviewer:src=Gallery test}}
- Create an article called Gallery test with the content
*Image:Foo.jpg *Image:Bar.jpg *Image:Pic.jpg
Where the image names are replaced with the names of images you have uploaded to your wiki.
- Go to the test page. You should see the gallery appear.
Bugs
- Add bugs here
Fixed bugs
- Does not parse wikitext of gallery src article so DPL queries and templates will not work as expected
- For some reason the head script containing swfobject.js only seems to load when action=purge other wise the non-flash message is displayed.
Further work
- Image thumbnail requests are sent a redirect header so it takes two HTTP requests instead of one to fetch each thumb and image (inefficient)
- Provide full control and pass all available parameters to SimpleViewer via parser params
- Thumb and image sizes are currently hard-wired are ready to be hooked in with params
