The "Add Media Wizard" on http://prototype.wikimedia.org/s-2/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit has several search targets: Wikimedia Commons, Internet Archive and MetaVid. On a local test install, I got only Wikimedia Commons, but strangly all images displayed are from Flickr. Anyway, I found no documentation on how to change these tabs. Please add it somewhere - preferably in includes/DefaultSettings.php. Thanks!
The Flickr being displayed while another repo is defaulted was an error fixed in r58513 If you put something like the following in your MediaWiki:Commons.js page you can set the defaults. if( typeof mwAddMediaConfig == 'undefined' ){ mwAddMediaConfig = {}; } mwAddMediaConfig['enabled_cps'] = [ 'wiki_commons', 'archive_org', 'metavid','flickr', 'upload' ]; //or to enable all of them you could use: mwAddMediaConfig['enabled_cps'] = 'all'; We should add the ability to set the mwAddMediaConfig var in LocalSettings.php type configuration as well.
its now mwAddMediaConfig['enabled_providers']. I have renamed this bug to reflect the base problem "javascript configuration of mwEmbed modules". Also have cc'ed Trevor to see if he wants to comment. Presently there is not a good structured way to package in javascript config variables from php side ... ( we presently plop them all into the the global scope in the output page.. to slightly improve the situation I propose we have a global variable like $wgMwEmbedConfig: In php you could add in config like so: $wgMwEmbedConfig[ 'mwConfigOption' ] = mwConfigValue; Then right after the mwEmbed.js in the page output we would run mw.setConfig( 'option', 'value'); for every item in the array. Eventually we probably want to specify per mwEmbed module loader.js applicable config values and have a real database based configuration system and interface. mediaWiki:Common.js would still have final say to override the php mwEmbed config values at run-time.
[Removing RESOLVED LATER as discussed in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064240.html . Reopening and setting priority to "Lowest". For future reference, please use either RESOLVED WONTFIX (for issues that will not be fixed), or simply set lowest priority. Thanks a lot!]
[According to bug 54063 comment 2, Add Media Wizard is no longer supported and no future work is planned. It has been superseded by UploadWizard.]
