Help:Contents provides details about using graphics.
In order to provide more utility for using Icons and graphics as interface elements in this wiki, we've installed the Icon Extension This creates a new "parser function" which simply means that the syntax for using graphics is easier.
Usage[edit | edit source]
{{#icon: image title | image alt text | image width | page to link to }}
- Only the image title argument is required - the rest are optional.
{{#icon: Info.png|Info}} will display the Info.png icon in it's default size
{{#icon: Info.png|Info|24}} will display the Info.png icon with a width of 24px
{{#icon: Info.png|Info|24|Special:Help}} same as above and clicking on it will link to Special:Help
 |
I have modified this extension locally to be able to specify the HTML class attribute as the third argument. |
Installing Icons[edit | edit source]
In order to get the Oxygen icons into this mediawiki system, I installed the icon set (well actually I think it came as a dependency with some kde4 application) which provides the compressed svg files. Then I copied the compressed files to a temporary location where I could decompress them and import them. Using the import tool provided by mediawiki, I batch imported the ~800 images. I didn't categorize them, which had I known about categorizing images I would have done first, rather than later. If you want to categorize your images on import, just add the category to the comment.
find /usr/lib/kde4/share/icons/oxygen/scalable/ -name '*svgz' -exec cp {} /tmp/ \;
gunzip --suffix=svgz /tmp/*svgz
for i in /tmp/*\.; do mv $i ${i}svg; done;
cd phase3/maintenance
php importImages.php --extensions=svg --user=Freephile --comment='Get the whole set at http://www.oxygen-icons.org' /tmp/
