Re: [Wikitech-l] Automatic Image upload

Thanks for the answer, but this is not exactly that what I want to do. I would like to create a fast solution and store the image and the visio file in the wiki. So I really need to know, how to call the function to upload a file to the wiki. I "know", that it is done in the SpecialUpload Page with the help of a request but I have no clue how this request looks like and how it is build by the system. So is there anyone who can help me?

Greetings Christoph

I am trying to develop a Visio to Image Converter fort he Mediawiki. It should work like this:

•      Visio file is uploaded in the Wiki
  
  

•      Image file is created on the Server
  
  

•      Image file is automatically uploaded in the Wiki
  

What you may wish to do is create an image handler plugin which handles the rasterization, so you can use [[Image:Whatever.vsd]] within the wiki as normal.

You'll find the built-in handlers here: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/media/

And some sample plugins: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/PdfHandler/ http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/OggHandler/
