[Mediawiki-l] ImageMap Extension and external links

[Alex Le Bek]

It is coded for external links - the problem was my LocalSettings.php set 
$wgImageMapAllowExternalLinks = true; (as instructed)

But the extension sets this to false in ImageMap.php! Just goes to show I
should have looked at the source files myself. Perhaps this needs to be
noted in the installation instructions?

Thanks to Tim Starling I can now click from my logos elsewhere.

The ImageMap extension isn't coded to use external links. Only internal 
ones. If you want to do something like that you'll half to request that 
as a new feature and have someone code it into the extension.
