[edit] Installation
You must have PHP 5.2.3 or above for this extension to work correctly!
- Create the directory "BrowserHistoryLink" in your extensions directory.
- Download and extract the files to this new directory.
- Add the following line to
LocalSettings.php:require_once($IP."/extensions/BrowserHistoryLink/BrowserHistoryLink.php");
- Check Special:Version to make sure the extension was registered correctly.
[edit] Usage
[edit] Basic
To add the link, add a <historylink> with type parameter set to "forward" or "back" on a wiki page. Example:
<historylink type="back" />
This outputs the default link text "« Go Back".
[edit] Custom Text
For custom link text, use this code (link text can be anything):
<historylink type="back">Go Back 1 Page</historylink>
This outputs the link text "Go Back 1 Page", or whatever is between the opening and closing tags.
[edit] The "go" Paramater
Use this code to go back 3 pages, or whatever "go" is set to:
<historylink type="back" go="3" />
Note: The "go" paramater can not be less than 1!
[edit] CSS Styles
The tag also has a "style" paramater that can contain CSS style information. Example:
<historylink type="back" style="font-weight:bold; font-size:13pt;" />
This will output a link that looks like « Go Back.
[edit] Going Forward
To go forward instead of back, use this code:
<historylink type="forward" />
It will output the link text "Go Forward »".
Note: All above parameters are also supported on "forward", including custom link text!
Note 2: Default link text may be different depending on your language.
