Extension:BootstrapComponents/en

The BootstrapComponents extension provides editors with an easy access to certain components introduced by Twitter Bootstrap 4.

Installation
There are two ways you can install this extension: you can use Composer for installation, activation, and dependency management or you can do this all manually.

Composer
This is the easiest and recommended approach. Just add the following to the "require"-section of your "composer.local.json" file and run the  command.

Manually
You need to download and activate the extension yourself. Also, you need to take care of dependencies.


 * First, you should take care of dependencies. That means installing the Bootstrap extension. See there for details on how to do this.
 * Then you need to download this extension, by cloning its repository using git. Venture into your extensions directory and run:

You can also download the archive and extract it yourself.

Activation
Since release 4.0, you have to enable the extension in your configuration manually. Previously, this would automatically be done by composer. Please add the following line to your LocalSettings.php:

Configuration
You can change some of the behaviour of this extension with the following four settings inside your wiki's configuration. Just add the corresponding line to your "LocalSettings.php" file.

$wgBootstrapComponentsWhitelist
Default setting is true.

This allows you to enable all, some, or none of the components inside your wiki code.

If you want all components available, set this to true:

If you want only a selection of components, set this to an array containing the whitelisted components. For a list of all components, please refer to the documentation.

When using modals, you might want to disable popovers. See known issues for more.

To disable all components simply set this to false.

$wgBootstrapComponentsModalReplaceImageTag
Default setting is false.

You can have this extension change the normal image handling in your wiki. If you set this to true, all image tags not containing a  parameter will be converted into a modal. So when you click on the image, instead of being referred to the corresponding page in the file namespace, a modal opens up showing the image with a possible caption (if you provided one) and a link to the source page of the file.

Example:

Most regular options that can be used with images are recognized and processed accordingly. Please see the help page for images.

Even after enabling this option you can suppress image modals on a given page by adding the magic word  somewhere on the page. If you want to suppress modal conversion for an individual image, give it the css class.

Example:

Please see known issues for additional information.

$wgBootstrapComponentsDisableSourceLinkOnImageModal
Default setting is false.

When using image modals (thus having  set to true) enabling this suppresses the source link in the footer section of the modal.

$wgBootstrapComponentsEnableCarouselGalleryMode
Default setting is true.

This adds the mode carousel to the -tag which, when used turns your gallery into a carousel. For Information on how to use galleries, please see the gallery documentation.
