[edit] Purpose

Provides a simple and controlled way of including javascript <script> tags on a wiki page using sysop defined interwiki links. This capability allows, for example, the inclusion of gadgets e.g. Google Gadgets.

[edit] Usage

For proper operation, this extension requires Extension:ParserPhase2 since the generated HTML markup is usually 'sanitized' by MediaWiki. In order to get around this limitation, ParserPhase2 can be used to invoke the parser function *after* the sanitization process (i.e. tidy) is executed on the wiki page. ((%#sscript| interwiki link | desired uri | [error message to show upon bad interwiki prefix] %))

[edit] Setting InterWiki Links

See InterWikiLinkManager extension for more details.

[edit] Example

Assuming the interwiki link 'gmodule' points to Google Gadget Modules (i.e. the interwiki link prefix would look like http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?$1):

((%#sscript| gmodule | title=Mareas+en+Bilbao&border=http%3A%2F%2Fgmodules.com%2Fig%2Fimages%2F&synd=open&up_Port=401&up_UTC=0&type=googlegadget&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhorloge.maree.frbateaux.net%2Fgh.xml&output=js&w=320&h=222| wrong interwiki prefix! %)) 

[edit] Security Note

• It is advisable to use 'cascading protection'
• When page protection is not relied on to provide protection

and consequently only the last contributor's right acts as protection measure, it is advised to use considerable care when using templates on the same page.

[edit] Google Gadgets

For a list of Google Gadgets and the instructions for embedding those, please see GoogleGadgets.

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
