Check usage (experimental)

Contents

[edit] Purpose

Provides another means of extracting articles in 'raw' format.

[edit] Motivation

Sometimes it is not practical to construct a url with the 'action=raw' parameter because the said url must then have its parameters delimited using the & character.

[edit] Usage

Build a url for the article in question and append '/raw' to the end of the article's title.

[edit] Example

To retrieve the page TestPage in raw format, just build the url TestPage/raw.

[edit] Dependancy

None.



[edit] Installation

See the Mediawiki Extension table entry "download" above.[1]

[edit] LocalSettings.php

Extension:ExtensionManager: See footnote[2]

require_once( "$IP/extensions/AlternateRawPage/AlternateRawPage.php" );
  • Since this Extensions is depending on StubManager, add the line after the StubManager include, or else your Wiki won't work.

[edit] PEAR

PEAR is a repository of PHP software code.

pear channel-discover mediawiki.googlecode.com/svn
  • Install extension through PEAR:
pear install mediawiki/AlternateRawPage
  • Add the following to LocalSettings.php[2][3]:
require 'MediaWiki/AlternateRawPage/AlternateRawPage.php';
  • Note that the required version of PEAR must be respected. Currently, the minimum version of PEAR usable with this channel is v1.6.2. Perform the following command to upgrade to the latest version of PEAR:
pear upgrade pear

[edit] Upgrades through PEAR

[edit] Notes

[edit] Other Extensions From the same author

Consult User Jldupont's page.


  1. The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
    Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed.
  3. Modifications to LocalSettings.php is only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
