Extension talk:ImageLink/LQT Archive 1

I wish this was described better.
 * Look at the 'See Also' section on the page. Jean-Lou Dupont 19:48, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The See Also points to BlueCortex, where it was a Pareser Function. Here it is a php extension and has ZERO documentation. :( --98.199.66.118 16:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

quality (CLOSED)
if i use   and    for a 370px x 560px image, than is the quality with imagelink worse. -- a user 22:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The extension does not modify the parameters; it just passes them to the HTML element. So, it is not the extension's fault. Jean-Lou Dupont 23:52, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there a way to force the extension to scale down the image as usually done by MediaWiki? If I use thumb|200px MediaWiki creates a thumb-image so that the user doesn't have to download the whole image, but only the thumb. That doesn't work with the extension. Those small images cost less bandwidth & look nicer --217.233.218.140 18:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No. Jean-Lou Dupont 19:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you anyway :) -- same Person as previous IP 217.233.253.76 17:37, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

_imagelink_ tags left in final page (RESolved)
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't quite get this extension to work. I've grabbed both StubManager.php and this extension's files from SVN (r723); they're installed (MediaWiki 1.10.0) and show up properly in Special:Version, but the extension doesn't work. For example, the following


 * 

will lead to this in the output:


 * _imagelink_200708300_/imagelink_

Curiously, specifying a non-existant image will cause a &lt;pre&gt; to be rendered instead (not that that really matters).

So... um, help? c.c I have no idea what could be going wrong here or how I should go about fixing it. Thanks! -- Schneelocke 20:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * the second argument must be a valid wiki page e.g. Category:Extension. In the example you gave above, you specified a URI address; this will not work. Jean-Lou Dupont 22:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah, yeah - I misunderstood the "distinguish between local and interwiki URI" part last night. Blame it on it being too late in my timezone. ^_~ Nevertheless, that being said, the same thing happens with a local page, too; and FWIW, http://www.example.com could be the name of a local page, anyway (e.g. ). -- Schneelocke 08:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I have the same problem. First i updated to Stubmanager 1.0.2 and ImageLink extension 1.0 revision 545 but i get
 * _imagelink_200708300_/imagelink_. Thanks for your hints.
 * Could you upgrade to the latest versions of both, please, before we proceed further. Thanks. Jean-Lou Dupont 19:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for you help Jean-Lou, but i have already the lastest version from yesterday. This my first try ;-).

Problem with MediaWiki 1.10.2 (RESOLVED)
Firstly, thanks for the extension. It's hard to use MW as a CMS without being able to link images in this way. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work with my setup. The wikitext i'm using is:
 * MediaWiki 1.10.2.
 * ImageLink.php 642 2007-08-10 15:35:54Z jeanlou.dupont
 * StubManager.php 730 2007-09-07 19:39:06Z JeanLou.Dupont

But the page outputs this code in plain text with no image generated:

Special:Version tells me that the hooks are installed. --Rob 21:59, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you try fetching the latest version of both extensions from the SVN before we proceed further? Jean-Lou Dupont 22:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The latest svn fixed it. Thanks for your support. --Rob 00:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

SVG support
Looks like imagelink does not support svg images at this stage? --Rob 00:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If you are referring to the capability to define an SVG image 'on-the-fly' (i.e. ellipse, rect etc. elements), then I am not planning to do so. Sorry. Jean-Lou Dupont 11:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Getting an error (CLOSED)
Getting this at the top of every page: Notice: Undefined variable: aClass in C:\www\webapps\mediawiki\extensions\ImageLink\ImageLink.body.php on line 283
 * You downloaded the trunk version not an actual tag. I am in the process of adding some features in the trunk and a release is pending. Please use PEAR, that's all the best bet. Jean-Lou Dupont 12:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Using Mediawiki 1.12.0 SubManager 1.2.0 ImageLink downloaded from SVN on April 2nd 2008


 * You should use the newer parser function too. Jean-Lou Dupont 12:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Do you have to specify image dimensions?
 * ?Jean-Lou Dupont 12:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * All sorted now. Thanks for your fast response Jean-Lou.

Getting no alternate title text (CLOSED)
I have the following:

I get the clickable image, but the alternate title text is not displayed. Any ideas? Thanks.


 * Mitchelln11:31, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * alt=xyz Jean-Lou Dupont 10:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, still nothing. Perhaps I am expecting something it does not do. I want the image (in my case an icon) and
 * then text next to it. For example:
 * to give me a left arrow icon and the text "Previous Page" next to it.

 * Then you are definitely correct: you are looking for functionality that ImageLink does not provide... but standard wikitext does ;-) Just slap your text next to the #img. Jean-Lou Dupont 12:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
