Hi,

I have a local wiki installed with the latest mediawiki from git master (1.25alpha (a9d0cfc)), latest visual editor extension from git (0.1.0 (358268b)), latest parsoid extension from git (0.2.0 (9b986c9)), latest syntax highlight extension from git (1.0.8.11-wmf1 (53e1b42)).

But when hoovering over the syntax highlight parts I get the not editable icon (sorry, this element can only be editable in source mode for now) and not the editable popup that you are suppose to get.

Anything missing here to get it to run ok with syntax highlight geshi?

BR, Daniel

Hey,

I'm afraid that the SyntaxHighlighter_GeSHi extension doesn't yet have a VisualEditor plugin. There was some excellent work last year by a GSoC student to make one of these, but that work had a few bugs and is not yet ready to use, I'm afraid.

The work in progress is currently available on gerrit – https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/114529/ – but we don't have the spare cycles to devote to this area of work, as it's not a priority for Wikimedia content wikis.

We'd be happy to work with and help someone interested in taking it on, but without someone coming forward, it's not scheduled to happen for quite a while.

Hello, I have media wiki 1.25 and was wondering if anyone got it to work? MediaWiki.org site has a working version so how do I get my media wiki to work?

This code was written and landed after 1.25.x. It is available as part of the 1.26.x branches.
