Product Version MediaWiki http://www.mediawiki.org/ 1.17.0 PHP http://www.php.net/ 5.2.17 (apache2handler) MySQL http://www.mysql.com/ 5.1.56
Reading the release notes for 1.16 (using 1.17.0 currently).
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.16
I read that....
# Rewrote Special:Upload to allow easier extension.
However, 1.16 / 1.17 breaks the extension I am interested in, namely "ImportFreeImages" (via FLICKR API).
Documentation suggests that the ImportFreeImages extension is no longer maintained, viz
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImportFreeImages
The browse function works well.... on upload I get the following:
**** Upload warning Invalid URL: $1 ****
Version info:
****** * @ingroup Extensions * @version 2.0 * @author Bryan Tong Minh bryan.xxxxinh@gmail.com * @author Travis Derouin xxxxxs@wikihow.com *****
Options? Fix "ImportFreeImages"? Or find an alternative that works with 1.17 (and higher)? I thought I had found such a version in SVN, but it was just copy.
Any other thoughts?
Cheers!
