About
Installation
- You can download the tarball here.
- 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 the 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
Notes
- When you systemctl status parsoid it claims to be running on port 8142 regardless of what is set in the config.yml. This is not an issue just something to keep in mind when debugging.
- The parsoid has a basic web front end that can be used to verify that is running properly and on the correct port.
