[edit] What can this extension do?
This extension combines the wikitopicmap with the freemind-flashbrowser as a tag-implementation. It automatically generates a mindmap for a specific topic on your wiki-site. Thus it provides an intuitiv and semantic access to contents.
[edit] Download instructions
Download download and extract it to your extensions/ directory on your webserver.
[edit] Installation
To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/MindMap/MindMap.php" );
[edit] How to use the mindmap extension?
Once installed you can add mindmap-tags on every page of your wiki. Just enter the topic between the tags, and a mindmap will be generated that checks for subtitles and links on the topic-page.
<mindmap>Topic</mindmap>
You might use additional arguments to specifiy the url, the index and access path of the wiki you want to use. If not provided, the url will be assumed as the website, the index path is normally "/w" and the access path corresponds to the directory, in which the wiki is placed on the server ("/wiki"). The extended usage could e.g. look like this:
<mindmap url="en.wikipedia.org" ipath="/w" apath="/wiki">Sailing</mindmap>
Be aware, there might be ip-blockers in use, if you link MindMap to an extern source wiki.
