Extension talk:LinkedImage

This seems to not be working for 1.6.3 I just get a blank page.
 * with version 0.2 it should be working

php4
I am working with MediaWiki an php4, so the code did not work for me.

Since I removed all public an private statements it work with php4.


 * I'm using MediaWiki 1.6.8 and php4, and I just get parser errors using this extension. Any help?  --Mijunkin 04:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm using Mediawiki 1.6.8 and I can't find a localconfig.php file. If I add include("extensions/LinkedImages.php"); to the top (or bottom) of Localsettings.php I get nothing but blank pages...


 * Perhaps the following could help, in Localsettings.php I did put

require_once($IP . '/extensions/LinkedImages/LinkedImages.php');
 * and it worked! Abasota 15:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Template usage?
This extension works fine for me, but when I try to use it in a template, it returns the internal error "Image constructor given bogus title." --75.40.127.44 23:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I get the same result - the problem is that template parameters are not expanded before the linked image is used. e.g. wikipage=Wiki Test img_src=Image:.jpg tries to find the image which then gives an error. Any Ideas how to solve this problem? --Sebastian.Dietrich 19:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * This has to do with how XML style parser extensions work. See Using DPL2 as a parser extension. Alan Trick 17:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Is there a chance that you will provide a version which works as well as a parser function? See Using DPL2 as a parser function. Sebastian.Dietrich 12:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Template Generalization
Could you please issue a more general template version, where the target Link could also be external to the wiki?

I mean to be able to put links such as: i.e: http://www.itu.int/ Abasota 15:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

0.3
I added a new version of the extension. Here's a more detail list of changes.

 * fixed XSS vulnerability with not escaping single quotes.
 * cleaned up code, removed sections that were never used, (and what in the world is up with public attributes and private accessor methods?!)
 * 'alt' attribute is now always output. It's a required attribute in XHTML.
 * replaces with appropriate value in URL. (this should be more generalized).

Link to external URL
Would be very nice if we can link the image to an external URL. Can you ajust the code to achive it? thanks Alain, 20 May 2007
