Hi everyone, I'm very excited to announce the release of a new MediaWiki extension: VEForAll. Its name stands for "VisualEditor For All", and it provides something that some people have been asking about for a long time - a way to incorporate the VisualEditor interface into textarea inputs other than the one in the standard VisualEditor tab.
The VEForAll extension works by providing a JavaScript function that, when called on a textarea input, adds the VisualEditor interface to it (if the VisualEditor extension is already installed). So the extension itself doesn't actually do anything - instead, it provides an API for other extensions to use. At the moment, two extensions can already make use of VEForAll if it's there: CommentStreams and Page Forms. (You need to use the latest version of either extension to get it working.) You can read more about VEForAll, and download it, here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VEForAll This extension has five credited authors, although most of the credit goes to the first two: Pierre Boutet and Clément Flipo of the consulting company Dokit, and the site Wikifab. I feel like I should give both the company and site a plug, in their honor: http://www.dokit.io/en/about-us https://wikifab.org/wiki/Accueil Please feel free to try out the extension, and let us know on the talk page if you run into any problems. -Yaron _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
