About

Installation

  • You can download the tarball here.
    • Make sure that you match the visual editor to the version of MediaWiki that you are running
  • Add the following to your LocalSettings.php to enable.
wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );
  • Add the following line to allow everyone to use the visual editor.
$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1;
  • Add the following line to tell the Visual Editor where to find the parsoid.
$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] = array('url' => 'http://localhost:8000');


Configuring parsoid

  • Follow the instructions here to install the parsoid.
  • Open the file /etc/mediawiki/parsoid/config.yaml
  • Find the uri line and change to
uri: 'https://msgwiki.msgeducation.com/api.php'
  • Next comment out the domain line. In theory you should be able to put your wikis FQDN here but for me it seems to work more consistently without the line.
  • Lastly add the following lines to the end of the file and then save and exit.
serverPort: 8000
serverInterface: '0.0.0.0'
  • Restart the parsoid and enable on boot.
systemctl enable parsoid
systemctl restart parsoid
