Example 1.

MediaWiki media handler extension for Microsoft Office files, such as "xlsx", "docx", "pptx", "xlsm", "pptm", "docm", "ppsx" files by using:

  • https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=... or
  • https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=...

The extension will handle also "txt", "sh", "js", "css", "json" files, "html". All kind of these files will be embedded and displayed at their File:Pages via JavaScript. And the file's content will be extracted and pushed as content of a hidden <div> element on the File:Page so the search engine will index this content. For this purpose you ned to place the following code at the bottom of your Template:Information:

<div class="mso365-search-index">MSO365SearchIndex</div>
  • The inner text will be displayed within the template page, but it will be hidden within File:Pages by additional CSS.

There is one additional JavaScript that will redirect MultiMedia Viewer straight to the pages of the handled files. In addition you could create File:Fileicon-docx.png, File:Fileicon-pptx.png, File:Fileicon-pptx.png, etc. by uploading to your wiki the files from assets/file-type-icons/ in order to trick MultiMedia Viewer to show them before the redirection.

In order to add icons for the mime-types theat are handled by the extension you could copy assets/file-type-icons/*.png to $IP/resources/assets/file-type-icons/. Or you could use the script link.sh that will create symbolic links from $IP/resources/assets/file-type-icons/ to these PNG files:

cd $IP/extensions/MSO365Handler/assets/file-type-icons
sudo -u ./link.sh
