Hello, Is there a way to embed (or enable embedding) of something that in raw html would work as: <a href="http://somesite.net/somepage.html> <img src=http://somesite.net/script?param> </a> where script?param outputs an image? Thank you, Sarunas

If $wgAllowExternalImages is set to "true" in LocalSettings.php, then it might be possible through [http://server/script?params]. If not, then there are a couple of options: (Better) Write a parser hook extension that accepts the parameter values as attributes and generates the appropriate HTML. (Worse) Enable raw HTML ($wgRawHtml) and include the above HTML snippet on a page with <html></html>tags. I favour the parser hook, overall. Rob Church

Yes, I tried that, but it renders as [1] with the link underneath.

Hmm... guess I'll need a primer on "writing a parser hook for MediaWiki"?

This works just fine. Thanks for your quick help! Sarunas

In fact it is mediawiki.org, but .com possibly is a redirect. On 12/21/06, Wayne Marsh <wayne.marsh(a)aldatasoftware.com> wrote:
