About ImageWithLink

ImageWithLink is a MediaWiki extension that adds a new tag:

<iwl> </iwl>

It is simple but very useful if you want to simply add an external Image with a Link/URL behind it and if you don't want to directly add html-code to your page!

MediaWiki Link

You can find the MediaWiki page of this extension here

Download and Installation

Download a copy of the ImageWithLink.php file (right click -> save link as) to your MediaWiki extension directory. You can place it directly there or you can make a subfolder in the extensions directory.

Edit your LocalSettings.php file. You'll find it in the root of your MediaWiki installation. Add the following code at the bottom of the file.

#ImageWithLink
require_once("$IP/extensions/ImageWithLink.php");

Using the new tags / syntax

The syntax is nearly the same as in the wiki. You have to use a pipe (|) symbol to seperate the image from the link and the text which will be used if the image can't be displayed.

<iwl>EXTERNAL-IMAGE-URL|LINK-TO-SITE|TEXT</iwl>

Now you can use the tags to create a link which displays an external image like the example below

<iwl>http://api.flattr.com/button/flattr-badge-large.png|http://flattr.com/thing/571679/n0r1sk|Flattr this</iwl>
