Acquiring the software

There are two easy ways to acquire the Mahalo ParserFunctions software: by subversion and by archive.

Subversion

Note: Subversion is a version control system. To download from subversion, you must have a subversion client.

To download the latest code from subversion, execute this command:

svn co http://mahalo-parserfunctions.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ mahalo-parserfunctions

This will create a directory called mahalo-parserfunctions which will contain all the project files.

To upgrade at any time, navigate to this directory and execute this command:

svn update

Archive

To download the latest release,

1. Go to the Download List and select a release archive (zip)
2. Extract the archive, this will create a directory called mahalo-parserfunctions

Installation and activation

Once you have acquired the software, copy the mahalo-parserfunctions directory to $IP/extensions where $IP is your MediaWiki installation directory.

Finally, edit your LocalSettings.php file and add require() lines for each extension you you would like to activate.

For example, to activate the ImageLink parser function, you would add this line:

require_once('extensions/mahalo-parserfunctions/mhoImageLink.php');

For a list of available parser functions, see the Project Home page.
