This is a patch that integrates wikipdf into mediawiki-1.4.5 user interface. I´m working on phase3 , now. It is istalled for on my webserver at 143.107.161.168/mw_test0 Users must be logged in to be able to have the "Make a PDF" tab enabled. Feel free to create an account and use it. Instalation instructions: * directory .py files at wikipdf/src/ must be chmod´ed to be executable. * you must create a wikipdf/tmp/ directory and the webserver must be able to write on this directory. The patch file is available at 143.107.161.168/slivre/mediawiki-1.4.5+wikipdf.patch
Created attachment 708 [details] wikipdf integrated to mediawiki 1.4.5 user interface
Please, keep in mind that this is my first patch ever done. This is my first contribution to the Free Software , so, there´s a chance that I may commit some mistakes... I would like to receive advice on how should I proceed. Thanks you all...
I have just released the very first version of WikiPDF - a Mediawiki Extension based on wiki2pdf It is available at: http://aluno.no-ip.info/slivre/wikipdf/wikipdf-mediawiki-extension-0.01.tar.bz2 It still has lots of references to wikipedia and a few bugs. It is the same as my old patch but now it is coded as an extension, so it can match a larger number of versions of mediawiki and it does not mess with mediawiki core anymore. You can test it on my personal wiki at http://aluno.no-ip.info/juca
The WikiPDF extension would be a great help. I want to give a small summary from What is the Best Way to Display Yiddish Text on Websites? http://mysite.verizon.net/jialpert/YidText/YiddishOnWeb.htm During the past many users (using various browsers and operating systems) experienced great problems to see pages in Yiddish correctly. Things are improuving but some sites prefer to display text in Yiddish as "images". Images just allows to read the text correctly. No way to search, no Google support. That site proposes to use the / some Yiddish *Precombined* Unicode characters. Please note that MediaWiki converts *Precombined* Unicode characters to *Non-Precombined* Unicode characters. I assume that nobody has made en enquiry about how WP:YI and WIKT:YI renders / what would be the best way to choose. I have no idea if PDF rendering on a system would be OK if browser rendering on the same system is wrong. That would be fine. Keeping testing the test wiki. regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Resolving LATER since there's a separate extension package now.
Changed url to http://aluno.no-ip.info/juca/index.php/WikiPDF because http://143.107.161.168/mw_test0 generates error 403 Forbidden Wiki do Juca is running MediaWiki: 1.5.1 . best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
[[mw:Extension:Collection]] does this sort of thing these days, and is enabled on Wikipedia sites.
