What can this extension do?[edit | edit source]
This simple tag extension simply produces the list of inter-language links in a given article. It was created for the Victoria skin, which has no sidebar to display the original list generated by Mediawiki.
Usage[edit | edit source]
In its current form, there are no on-page configuration options, and it simply used by writing <languagelinks /> anywhere you want it on page.
Download instructions[edit | edit source]
Download from here; extract into $IP/extensions/. Note: $IP stands for the root directory of your MediaWiki installation, the same directory that holds LocalSettings.php.
Installation[edit | edit source]
To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/WRLanguageLinks/WRLanguageLinks.php" );
Configuration parameters[edit | edit source]
The following configuration options are available:
- $wgWRLanguageLinksShowOnly (comma-separated list of language codes)
- Useful for limiting the language links displayed to a few selected languages. For example, we have all of the language links copied to all wikis in the farm using a bot, but don't want to point from the Arabic wiki to the English one.
- Example:
$wgWRLanguageLinksShowOnly = 'ar,en'; - Default value is NULL, and all language links are displayed.
- $wgWRLanguageLinksListType ('normal'/'flat')
- Can be one of the following:
- 'normal': this is the defualt, meaning show a regular ("<ul">) list.
- 'flat': this creats an inline list, without bullets.
- $wgWRLanguageLinksShowTitles (boolean)
- The default is 'false', and keeps the default Mediawiki behavior of showing language names and use the page title as a tooltip (the title attribute of the link). If set to true, the behavior will be flipped - the page title will show as the link, and the language name will become the tooltip.
Customization[edit | edit source]
This extension adds a couple of messages that may be overridden, as well as a few CSS classes for the list. Simply peek at the code.
