Note: Visit the website for the most up-to-date Installation Instructions
- First, download the vPIP Package from www.vpip.org (from the "All Other Installs" page).
- Edit your MediaWiki install's skins/MonoBook.php and add the necessary lines (shown at the bottom of the All Other Installs page) right before the </head> tag.
- Download the VPIPPlugin and unzip it into a temporary directory.
- Place the 2 GIF images in an web-accessible location on your webserver.
- Place the vPIP.php file in your wiki's "extensions" directory.
- Modify the vPIP.php file to reference the location of the images you installed. (Near the bottom, you'll see the <img src tags).
- Modify your wiki's LocalSettings.php to add the following line: require_once("$IP/extensions/vPIP.php");
- With all these done, you should be able to visit your Wiki's "Special:Version" page and see <video> as a new Parser Extension.
[edit] Usage
Note: visit the website for the most up-to-date Usage Information
To add a VPIP video to a page, use a syntax like the following:
<video> url=<video URL> height=<video height> width=<video width> image=<placeholder image URL> title=<video Title> caption=<video Caption> download=<download URL> type=<video MIME Type> </video>
In this way, it's very similar to working with a Template, but without the Pipe at the beginning of every line.
