Installation

[edit]
  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called UploadFields in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'UploadFields' );
    
  • If necessary configure as required.
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

[edit]

To create a new upload field start by creating a new page in the MediaWiki namespace.

The format of the page name is: UploadField-field_type-Name

Valid types are:

  • select - Select drop down. Supports option groups down to two depths.
  • multiselect - Series of check boxes for multiple selection. Supports option groups down to two depths.
  • text - Single line text input.
  • textarea - Multiple line text input.
  • category - Display a multiple select drop down of existing categories on the wiki.

If you wanted a drop down HTML select field named "Game" you would create the definition page: MediaWiki:UploadField-select-Game

Field Types

[edit]

select and multiselect

[edit]

These two types support two levels deep of listed options which is limited due to HTML specifications. Simply make a standard unordered list up to ** deep. Any blank lines and lines not starting with * with be ignored.

Each selection value should be in the format of: TemplateValue|Label Name

* Main Series
** Part1|This Amazing Game Part 1
** Part2|This Amazing Game Part 2

* Combinations
** CE|Collector's Edition

Example: Selecting "This Amazing Game Part 1" from the "Game" field when uploading a new image would result in "Game=Part1" being added to the FileInfo template.

{{FileInfo
|Game=Part1
}}

text and textarea

[edit]

The text and textarea types add their respective single line or multiple line text fields to the upload form. The content of the MediaWiki:UploadField-text(area)-Name definition page will be filled in as a default value and can be left blank.

category

[edit]

The category type produces a multiple select check box list of existing wiki categories to choose from. There is no filtering and any content added to the MediaWiki:UploadField-category-Name definition page will be ignored.
