MediaWiki Extension for Subversion Integration
MediaWiki-SVN currently a work-in-progress MediaWiki extension that adds
a <svn/> tag used to insert links to files in a Subversion repository.
Links in the directly listing allow browsing of the Subversion repository
and even downloading of files.
I built this extension to use MediaWiki as part of a simple document management system. Basic browsing and file-download functionality is what I'm going for. I'm not trying to make a full-featured Subversion repository browser.
PHP's Subversion extension is needed for this extension. See http://php.net/manual/en/book.svn.php for details.
No MediaWiki configuration other than including the extension is required. Add
a line like the one below to the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file.
require_once("$IP/extensions/MediaWiki-SVN/SVN.php");
Use the <svn>URL</svn> tag or {{#svn:URL}} parser function to insert a tabular
list of directory entries in/under a given Subversion URL.
<svn>https://github.com/pdugas/MediaWiki-SVN/trunk</svn>
or
{{#svn:https://github.com/pdugas/MediaWiki-SVN/trunk}}
yield a table like this
The links in the Path column lead to File Browser pages provided by this extension. See below.
--- not implemented yet ...
The extension adds an SVN namespace that can be used to browse a Subversion repository. Article links like [[SVN:URL]] present results for the given Subversion URL. If the URL leads to a directory, the link produces a dynamically generated article containing a directory listing. If the URL leads to a file, the file is downloaded.
- Only publicly accessible repositories accessed via HTTP/HTTPS are currently supported. Not sure if we want to change that due to potential security risks.
- An error is thrown in the PHP/Apache log when generating a directory listing where the parent directory is the top of the repository. Want to see if we can head that off some how.
