Citoid is a MediaWiki extension that enables the Citoid service, which generates a citation given a URL or other identifier, to be used within VisualEditor.
This page covers only how to download and install the Citoid extension; for all information on how to actually use Citoid, please see the Citoid page.
Prerequisites
In order to run this extension, you must have the VisualEditor extension installed, and enable the VisualEditor citation tool.
The following additional extensions are not required to run Citoid, but are recommended:
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
Citoidfolder to yourextensions/directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Citoid - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'Citoid' );
- Configure as required.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
Set the location of your citoid service instance in your wiki's LocalSettings.php
// If the wiki is being served over https, the https protocol is required in the citoid service URL; otherwise the browser will block the request.
$wgCitoidServiceUrl = 'http://localhost:1970/api';
| Option | Default value | Useful for… | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
$wgCitoidServiceUrl
|
false
|
Sysadmins | Full url to use the native citoid api, i.e. http://localhost:1970/api. Only used if VisualEditorFullRestbaseURL is null.
|
$wgCitoidFullRestbaseURL
|
false
|
Sysadmins | Full url to use a citoid service running behind restbase, i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_ (including the trailing _). Overwrites default, which is to use VisualEditorFullRestbaseURL (now deprecated). Does not need to be set if you are running citoid behind the same restbase instance as parsoid/VisualEditor; mostly useful for point to a cross domain restbase citoid installation.
