Meza/Setting up a common uploads wiki
Appearance
< Meza
With multiple wikis, a ForeignFileRepo (aka "commons wiki") can be useful -- so that you don't have to upload the same image multiple times into each wiki.
This capability is currently being developed and the current configuration notes are as follows:
// Set the English wiki to share images with everyone $wgForeignFileRepos[] = [ 'class' => 'ForeignDBRepo', 'name' => 'mainwiki', 'url' => "$wgServer/mediawiki/{WikiID of the commons wiki}/img_auth.php", 'directory' => '/opt/data-meza/uploads/{WikiID of the commons wiki}', 'hashLevels' => 2, // This must be the same for the other family member 'dbType' => 'mysql', 'dbServer' => $wgDBservers[0]['host'], 'dbUser' => $mezaDatabaseUser, 'dbPassword' => $mezaDatabasePassword, 'dbFlags' => DBO_DEFAULT, 'dbName' => 'wiki_{WikiID of the commons wiki}', 'tablePrefix' => '', 'hasSharedCache' => false, 'descBaseUrl' => "$wgServer/mediawiki/{WikiID of the commons wiki}/File:", 'fetchDescription' => false ];
