I'm on a shared server that so far has been very open to MediaWiki and all my required extensions. My Wiki isn't so large that it needs dedicated space, but when I asked about installing ploticus.pl (necessary for the EasyTimeline extension, which I'd like to use), my host told me I should upgrade to a VPS server, which is beyond my budget. But I read that I can install the .pl in another location, so long as LocalSettings.php can see and execute it. Where would be the best place to put it so it doesn't cause any security issues? I checked the page, and it said it can install in other places, but there weren't any recommendations for specific-type locations, like /extensions/easytimeline or something. I still know the path to my Perl though, even though I can't put the script itself there. If I can't install ploticus without a security issue, is there an alternative extension that I'd be able to run from a shared host? -Azurite
