HTML and external images
I have a problem when using the <html> within mediawiki after allowing it in the LocalSettings.php. When integrating this tag with templates, they don't seem to be working at all (as if they are bypassed by <nowiki></nowiki>). An example of this is:
<HTML>
{{extImage|src="external path"|width="width"}}
</HTML>
Is there a way to make such facility?
I think I've got a temporary solution, using:
{{subst:extImage|src="external path"|width="width"}}
Thanks and if someone can find a better way, please let me know.
You can do
{{#tag:html|{{extImage|src="external path"|width="width"}}}}
(This will transclude the template and maybe some magic words, but wikitext will still not be interpreted)
Thanks a lot :). With the idea you've provided, I could now make the template directly by implementing the #tag: within the template itself.
Another question regarding $wgAllowExternalImages. Why can't I use it within the <IMG> tag so I can resize? The only chance is either to enable HTML (which is insecure) or make my own extension (Indeed I did the last with a new tag named <image>).
yeah, the whole external image thing is kind of ugly (It also doesn't let you include images without an extension). More recent mediawiki has the manual:$wgAllowImageTag to allow <img>...</img>.
