Integrating FCKEditor in MediaWiki
Mar 31, 08 by Juan Lebrijo about blog, Wiki
The target for this post is to embed at our MediaWiki an editor as Wordpress wysiwyg editor. For editing visual and no-problem with the back language. With Wiki applications this language is not HTML, because of the complexity or the reference systems used. They use a tagged language, Wikitext, which we could do not need or do not our users learn. In my opinion the FCKEditor is the best choice. We based on the following guide: FCKEditor Integration Guide. Download the package: mediawiki_fckeditor_ext_N.tar.gz. Unzip it and copy to the extensions directory of your MediaWiki Installation folder:
tar -zxvf mediawiki_fckeditor_ext_N.tar.gz
cp -r extensions/* /var/www/wiki/extensions/
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/wiki/extensions/
Finally notify to MediaWiki for loading this extension at the begining, at file LocalSettings.php:
# EXTENSIONES: Aquí incluimos las extensiones incrustadas en MediaWiki:
require_once $IP . "/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.php";
Then our edito is embebed. Refresh the cache in your browser to ensure that there is nothing cached. If you want to change the language of the interface editor, I could change modifying the following lines in the cofiguration file (fckeditor_config.js):
FCKConfig.AutoDetectLanguage    = false ;
FCKConfig.DefaultLanguage       = 'es' ;
Then we can enjoy our wiki with an easy editor.
