Contents

[edit] Purpose

Provides a parser function which supports the < embed> html element.

[edit] Motivation

Many similar extensions exist albeit with a notable shortcoming: the implementation is done through a tag and thus templating is precluded.

This extensions solves this shortcoming through the use of a parser function.

[edit] Usage

{{#embed: MIME-type | local-or-interwiki-link [|param1=value1 ...]}}

[edit] Example

The following enables viewing FreeMind diagrams through an interwiki link mwgcr (note that interwiki links can be managed through Extension:InterWikiLinkManager).

{{#embed: application/x-shockwave-flash| mwgcr:scripts/visorFreemind.swf |id=visorFreeMind |name=visorFreeMind |bgcolor=#a0a0f0 |quality=high |flashvars='openUrl=_blank&startCollapsedToLevel=3&maxNodeWidth=200&mainNodeShape=elipse&justMap=false&initLoadFile=http://mediawiki.googlecode.com/svn/scripts/freeMindFlashBrowser.mm&defaultToolTipWordWrap=200&offsetX=left&offsetY=top&buttonsPos=top&min_alpha_buttons=20&max_alpha_buttons=100&scaleTooltips=false' |height=500 |width=100% }}

[edit] Notes

[edit] Sandbox

You are invited in the author's sandbox to try-out some of his extensions.

  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
