Instructions
- Download Visual Editor
- Install Parsoid
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/Setup
- It appears to be OK to use the jessie repo for stretch.
- Edit /etc/mediawiki/parsoid/config.yaml and restart the Parsoid service.
- Configure Visual Editor
Minimal Wiki Farm Configuration
PHP:
$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid']['url'] = 'http://localhost:8142'; $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid']['domain'] = $wgSitename; # wiki name $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid']['forwardCookies'] = true; # for private wikis wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' ); $wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1; $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';
/etc/mediawiki/parsoid/config.yaml:
mwApis: uri: 'http://path/to/my/wiki/api.php' domain: 'replace with wiki name'
Caveats
- It is important that the domain used in /etc/mediawiki/parsoid/config.yaml match the one used in $wgVirtualRestConfig.
Issues
- Possible errors at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgVirtualRestConfig:
- I believe that the trailing slashes in the URLs is an error, but I need confirmation.
- When it says, "These are the default values when Parsoid is registered as a REST service, used when some keys are not defined.", it implies that this value is set somewhere when Parsoid is installed, but I don't believe that is the case.
- Adding a wiki to a wiki farm requires editing /etc/mediawiki/parsoid/config.yaml and restarting the Parsoid service.
