Installation

• Install JsonConfig extension first!

• If using Vagrant , install with vagrant roles enable zero --provision

  require_once "$IP/extensions/ZeroBanner/ZeroBanner.php";
  

  Configure at your convenience
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

$wgJsonConfigs['JsonZeroConfig'] = array(
   'namespace' => NS_ZERO,
   'nsname' => 'Zero',
   'islocal' => false,
   'url' => 'https://zero.wikimedia.org/w/api.php',
   'username' => $wmgZeroRatedMobileAccessApiUserName,
   'password' => $wmgZeroRatedMobileAccessApiPassword,
);

See the README for more information on configuration and settings pertaining to carrier mockup.

For local (test) wikis, try just the following:

$wgJsonConfigs['JsonZeroConfig'] = array(
    'namespace' => NS_ZERO,
    'nsName' => 'Zero',
    'remote' => array(
        'url' => 'http://localhost:8888/w/api.php'
    ),
    'cacheKey' => '1',
);
$wgZeroSiteOverride = array( 'wikipedia', 'en' );

Setting up local wiki

• Install a browser extension for modifying request headers such as ModHeader for Chrome

• Navigate to Zero:TEST on your wiki and create the page. Some default configuration is provided, but the JSON below may prove more useful:

{
    "comment": "[Zero] TEST",
    "enabled": true,
    "name": {
        "en": "Test Operator"
    },
    "banner": {
        "en": "{{SITENAME}} zero-rating test on $1"
    },
    "partnerInfoText": {
        "en": "Check your quota"
    },
    "partnerInfoUrl": "https://www.google.com",
    "showLangs": [
        "en",
        "he",
        "ru",
        "fr",
        "pl"
    ],
    "shrinkImg": true,
    "configs": [
        {
            "whitelistedLangs": [],
            "enableHttps": true,
            "bannerWarning": true
        }
    ],
    "ipsets": {
        "default": []
    },
    "status": {
        "technical": "edit"
    },
    "country": "US"
}

• Add 3 new request headers in your extension:
  • X-CS: TEST
  • User-Agent: android-mobile
  • X-Subdomain: M
• Optionally add a filter to only apply these headers to your local environment
• Navigate to Main Page (or any article) on your local wiki. You should now see a banner rendered at the top of the article.
