Could $wgUseSharedUploads (and associated settings) not be used to accomplish this? I've used this previously without issue (admittedly, only up to 1.15.x).
I realise it was "replaced" by $wgForeignFileRepos, but I have to agree that it is extremely difficult to understand how to use the setting from the documentation. Setting up a "wiki family" with shared images using UseSharedUploads was fairly straight-forward, but I can't even figure out with certainty if it is possible with ForeignFileRepos (maybe ForeignDBRepo? It's not clear), let alone how to actually accomplish it... Regards, Daniel On 15 June 2011 02:12, Ling Hwee Ting <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Kilian, thank you for your reply.
