 * 1) Notice: Use of OutputPage::setParserOptions is deprecated in ...\GlobalFunctions.php on line 2480
 * 2) Pagenames with nonstandard characters (äöüß etc.) crash the script with a can't open file error

Installation instructions
Some installation instructions would be helpful. Here's what I did. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can edit this and move it to the article page.

If you have web access from your MediaWiki server, this should suffice:

cd /whatever/mediawiki/extensions svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/DumpHTML

I don't, so I had to do this on a separate machine:

cd /tmp svn export http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/DumpHTML

Subversion retrieves files, and reports their names and the revision number.

tar cjvf ~/DumpHTML-version.tar.bz2 DumpHTML rm -rf DumpHTML

Then on my MediaWiki machine:

cd /whatever/mediawiki/extensions tar xjvf ~/DumpHTML-version.tar.bz2

Invocation:

php /whatever/mediawiki/extensions/DumpHTML/dumpHTML.php options

Localsettings.php
Is it possible to call this extension with a line in localsettings.php? --Rovo 01:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Rovo, sorry no. It's built to be run from a shell. --Gadlen 09:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Usage Instructions
DumpHTML.php expects to be run from the maintenance directory. The "skin" directory won’t get included in the HTML package if you run it from another directory. So if you are running it on a cron job and putting together a .tar.gz of your wiki for downloading, your shell script might look something like this:


 * 1) !/bin/sh

cd /YourWikiDirectory/extensions/DumpHTML

/bin/php dumpHTML.php -d /YourTargetDirectoryForHTML -k monobook –image-snapshot –force-copy

/bin/tar -czf /TemporaryDirectoryForTarball/YourWikiAllWrappedUp.tar.gz /YourTargetDirectoryForHTML

mv /TemporaryDirectoryForTarball/YourWikiAllWrappedUp.tar.gz /YourWebAccessibleDirectory/YourWikiAllWrappedUp.tar.gz --Gadlen 09:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
