The MediaWiki Visual Editor (operational since 2013 and more fully deployed on Wikipedia since 2014) is a Wysiwyg editor. It requires two components:
MediaWiki 1.23 installation notes
- Upgrade to the latest version
cd installdir git pull
Download and install the extension
cd installdir git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor.git cd VisualEditor git submodule update --init
- backtrack to an older version !!
git checkout REL1_23
Download and install the parsoid
This depends on your OS. For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS you cannot use the official distro as explained in the official setup documentation.
Firstly edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://parsoid.wmflabs.org:8080/debian wmf-production/
Then get a different NodJS first
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs=0.10*
nodejs --version # should now print v0.10.x
Configure the extension
In Localsettings.php:
# VISUAL Editor
require_once("$IP/extensions/VisualEditor/VisualEditor.php");
// OPTIONAL: Enable VisualEditor in other namespaces
// By default, VE is only enabled in NS_MAIN
//$wgVisualEditorNamespaces[] = NS_PROJECT;
// Enable by default for everybody
$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1;
// Don't allow users to disable it
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';
// OPTIONAL: Enable VisualEditor's experimental code features
//$wgVisualEditorEnableExperimentalCode = true;
Configure Parsoid
This is more work .... not done yet !!
