== Purpose== |
|||
This extension securely inserts HTML section(s) or pages on a wiki page. This extension restricts the usage of 'html' tags to protected pages. Furthermore, the extension allows for the controlled inclusion of templates. |
|||
The html tags functionality is controlled through the '$wgRawHtml' global variable. |
|||
== Features == |
|||
* Cascading: if the base page is allowed to use 'html' tags, then all included pages will be processed as if they could. |
|||
* Namespace exemption: configured namespaces are exempted from 'protection' requirement |
|||
* Parser cache friendliness: |
|||
** The extension must be enabled to continue the support of the inserted content |
|||
* Support for the parser function <nowiki>{{#html}}</nowiki> |
|||
* <nowiki>{{#shtml}}</nowiki> is very well suited for securely embedding ''widgets'' such as the ones created with [http://http://www.sproutbuilder.com/ SproutBuilder] or GoogleGadgets. |
|||
** The page where the ''shtml'' parser function is used does not need to be protected '''but''' the template page where the javascript/html widget code is located must though. |
|||
** This behavior makes it easy for administrator to allow selected widgets to be included by the user population of the wiki |
|||
== Motivation for the {{ #html}} parser function == |
|||
It is sometimes useful to include, in a secure fashion, a template containing 'raw html' in another page. This enables, for example, the construction of ''gadgets''. |
|||
Through the added functionality of parameterization using the <code>{@{parameter_here}@}</code>, the said templates can be customized on a per-page basis without resorting to convoluted escape patterns (e.g. <nowiki></html>{{{parameter_here}}}<html></nowiki>) which renders page viewing difficult to humans. |
|||
== Usage == |
|||
=== < html> tag === |
|||
* Use the standard <nowiki><html></nowiki> tags (see [[Manual:$wgRawHtml]]) within a protected page. One can either protect the page before or after the inclusion of the said tag(s). |
|||
=== {{ #html}} parser function === |
|||
Use: <code>{{#html:page_name [|optional parameters]}}</code> where: |
|||
* <code>page_name</code> is the page name of the article to include |
|||
* <code>optional parameters</code> are of the form: |
|||
** <code>param_x = value_x | param_y = value_y </code> |
|||
The page where this parser function is used must be ''edit'' protected. |
|||
=== {{ #shtml }} parser function === |
|||
Same usage as for ''#html'' with difference that the origin page where this parser function is used does not need to be ''edit'' protected. The target page's ''edit'' protection attribute ensures security. |
|||
== Example == |
|||
=== Test Page === |
|||
<code>{{#html:Template:Page1|param1=value1}}</code> |
|||
=== Template:Page1 === |
|||
<code>This parameter will be replaced when called from [[Test:Page]] >> {@{param1}@}</code> |
|||
== Required extensions == |
|||
* [[Extension:StubManager|StubManager extension]] |
|||
* [[Extension:ParserFunctionsHelper|ParserFunctionsHelper extension]] is optional and only required for the parser function ''#shtml'' |
|||
{{Pear|SecureHTML}} |
|||
== History == |
|||
* added namespace exemption functionality i.e. namespaces where article do not need to be protected in order to use 'html' tags |
|||
** use <code>SecureHTMLclass::enableExemptNamespaces = false; </code> to turn off |
|||
** use <code>SecureHTMLclass::exemptNamespaces[] = NS_XYZ; </code> to add namespaces |
|||
* enhanced with functionality to 'add' content to the document's 'head' section |
|||
* Removed dependency on ExtensionClass |
|||
* Enabled for 'StubManager' |
|||
* Added 'addExemptNamespaces' function |
|||
=== 1.1.0 === |
|||
* Added, by default, NS_MEDIAWIKI namespace to the exemptNamespaces |
|||
=== 2.0.0 === |
|||
* Addition of the parser function <code>{{ #html}}</code> |
|||
=== 2.1.0 === |
|||
* Addition of the parser function ''#shtml'' (requires [[Extension:ParserFunctionsHelper]]) |
|||
== Todo == |
|||
* Fix for allowing more customization of 'exempt' namespaces even when using StubManager |
|||
* Think about renaming the extension to be more distict from [[Extension:Secure HTML]] |
|||
==See also== |
|||
* [[Extension:Secure HTML]] - Different extension, with a 'secret key' approach to securing <nowiki><html></nowiki>. Unfortunately it has a very similar name! |
