2008/11/6 Daniel Kinzler daniel@brightbyte.de:
Could an extension avoid the need for manually uploading images? (Or, is there any prospect that files will work properly with special:export?)
I suppose one sane way of doing this would be to make a (pk)zip or tar(gz) archive of a) an xml-dump of the appropriate pages and b) the images used in them. Writing a shell script to unpack the bundle, and the run importImages.php on the images and importDump.php on the XML would be trivial enough. Writing Special:ImportBundle would be nicer, and not too terribly complex either, I suppose.
Hey Daniel,
If I organise a bundle of, say, 20 templates, will you help/teach me to set up such scripts for an extension and/or create Special:ImportBundle?
