• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/PlasticMW/PlasticMW.php";
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Instead of downloading the zip archive you may also check this extension out via Git:

git clone https://github.com/Fannon/PlasticMW.git

Features

• Use a tag to embed a plastic embed code
• plastic is a javascript library that can (asynchronously) query/fetch data, process it and display it through various modules. It supports querying of SPARQL endpoints and the Semantic MediaWiki ASK API.
• TODO: Provide an parser function that is less verbose and more secure and uses the MediaWiki syntax.

Usage

This Wrapper Extension provides a <plastic> tag that works exactly like the native plastic.js embed code with the one difference that the <plastic> tag is used instead of an <div class="plastic"> tag. For more detailed instructions how to use the plastic.js in general, head to the user documentation.
