[edit] Purpose
Provides a namespace 'Directory' for browsing the filesystem of a MediaWiki installation.
[edit] Features
- Directory tree structure roots on MediaWiki installation
- Security: enforcement of the 'read' right
- Integrates with Extension:FileManager
- Highly customizable through 'hooks'
[edit] Dependancy
[edit] Notes
It is recommended to use:
$wgCapitalLinks = false;
in LocalSettings.php; default MediaWiki behavior is to capitalize title names - which does not help with filesystem behavior on certain operating systems.
[edit] NS_DIRECTORY namespace
Furthermore, the namespace NS_DIRECTORY must also be defined in LocalSettings.php. See Manual:Using_custom_namespaces for details. In short you could do:
$wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "Directory";
define("NS_DIRECTORY", 100);
$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_DIRECTORY] = array( 'read' );
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 100;
[edit] Usage
To use the extension, visit, for example, the top level directory of the NS_DIRECTORY namespace. Assuming 'Directory' as a canonical name for the 'NS_DIRECTORY' identifier:
Directory:/
[edit] Installation
To install independantly from BizzWiki:
