NASA_EVA_Gamification Extension Installation Instructions

  1. Make sure the “LocalSettings.php” file that you saved on the precious section is placed at the root level of the “MediaWiki” folder.

  2. Obtain the code from GitHub

  3. Copy the NASA_EVA_Gamification-master directory to the MediaWiki/extensions/NASA_WIKI_Gamification directory. Pay attention that when we create the new directory inside the Mediwiki/extensions, we are dropping the “-master” part of the name.

    Note: The "Documentation" and "installation_instructions_windows_and_centos" folders are not part of the code and may be removed from the "NASA_WIKI_Gamification" extension at installation.

  4. Navigate to the “MediaWiki” directory and open the LocalSettings.php file so you can edit it:

    a) Change the default “MediaWiki” logo: Find $wgLogo. and replace everthing after the '=' sign with the following: "$wgResourceBasePath/extensions/NASA_EVA_Gamification/images/nasa-wiki-logo.png";

    b) Add global variables: Scroll down to the bottom of the page (after the last line) and paste the following lines:

     # Nasa Eva Gamification >> Phase 1
 wfLoadExtension('NASA_EVA_Gamification');
 $wgShowDebug = true;
 $wgDebugComments = true;
 $wgEnableParserCache = false;
 $wgCachePages = false;


 # Nasa Eva Gamification >> Phase 2
 $wgPhase2Images = "$wgResourceBasePath/extensions/NASA_EVA_Gamification/images/";
 $wgProfilePage=$wgServer.$wgResourceBasePath."/index.php/Special:UserGamificationProfile";
 $wgBadges=array('platinum'=>'500','gold'=>'200','silver'=>'100','bronze'=>'50');
 $wgPoints = array(0=>50, 1=>100);
 $wgLeaderBoardPointScale=100;

    c) Save the file.

    Note: $wgShowDebug = true; is for debugging purposes; so, it is recommended to have it set to “true” in a development environment and set to “false” in a production environment.

  5. From a shell prompt,

    a) Navigate to the folder where you have saved the "MediaWiki"

    b) Run php maintenance/update.php

    Note: if you get a security error, run the shell prompt as an administrator.

  6. Move and replace the following files “From” the specified folder “To” the specified folder.

    a) File: WikiPage.php From folder: mediawiki/extensions/NASA_EVA_Gamification/ To folder: mediawiki/includes/page/

    b) File: Revision.php From folder: mediawiki/extensions/NASA_EVA_Gamification/ To folder: mediawiki/includes/

  7. From a shell prompt,

    a) Navigate to the folder where you have saved the MediaWiki

    b) Run runphp.cmd

  8. Open a web browser and access you local instance: http:localhost:8080

    a) From the left hand-side navigation select Special pages

    b) Scroll down (almost until the end of the page) and verify that under the Other Special pages section the "User Gamification Profile" extension has been successfully installed.

    c) Click on User Gamification Profile to confirm.
