Topic on Extension talk:DrawioEditor

Can someone please explain step by step how I can generate svg drawing and include them in the wiki pages? I always get .png images.

I also wonder where the drawing data are actually stored by this extension.

I use MW 1.39.5 on Linux (RHEL 9) Aloist (talk)

My solution is this:

• I am using MediaWiki 1.39.2 with DrawioEditor 2.0.1
• Also install NativeSvgHandler
• Add 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' to $validNamespaces in ./includes/upload/UploadBase.php
• Add 'svg' to $wgFileExtensions in LocalSettings.php

• In the location where you want the svg insert: {{#drawio:figureName|type=svg}}
• Click Edit
• Create and save figure
• Exit drawIO interface
• You might get Fatal exception of type "Error"
• Try adding $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; to LocalSettings.php
• In my case the error then expands to Error: Call to undefined function MediaWiki\Extension\DrawioEditor\MXDocumentExtractor\gzinflate()
• The fix for me is to add zlib to the php-profile of my web-service.
• I am using a Synology Nas, so this is done in the Web Station interface --> Script Language Settings --> Extensions
