[Mediawiki-l] ImageMap Extension and external links

[Alex Le Bek]

I have installed the ImageMap extension
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap) and set
$wgImageMapAllowExternalLinks = true

With the following markup

<imagemap>
Image:mylogo.jpg
rect 0 0 120 60 [[Help]]
</imagemap>

It works fine but fails when I use an external link:

<imagemap>
Image:mylogo.jpg
rect 0 0 120 60 [http://www.mylink.com]
</imagemap>

with error
                <imagemap>: no valid link was found at the end of line 3 

Any ideas?
