[Mediawiki-l] dumphtml.php integrate to wiki

[Oliver Schalch]

Hi,

I try to integrate a link/button to call to the maintenance/dumphtml.php on
the mainpage of my wiki, so that my user can create a dump to their homedir
of the current wiki.

I'm not sure it is so easy as I think...

The link should call just the dumphtml.php -d
s:\somepath\$wikiuserlogin\dumpwiki\

1) Will i have problem with windows path?
2) what is the correct VAR for the username of the logged in user?
3) do I have chance to do some fileoperation: delete \dumpwiki\ create
\dumpwiki\
4) Should I create a own php file for all my points or integrate it to an
existing page? Which would be the best way?

Best way probably is to write a function and the new Button on the mainpage
just calls the function.

Thanks,
Oli
