I have my local dev environment set up like this: > $wgScriptPath = '/mediawiki/core'; > $wgExtensionAssetsPath = '/mediawiki/extensions'; > $extDir = dirname( $IP ) . '/extensions'; > require_once( "$extDir/Vector/Vector.php" ); This approach has a problem: Let's take a look at random extension's (AbuseFilter was in the beginning of directory listing) maintenance script: require_once ( getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' ) !== false ? getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' ) . "/maintenance/commandLine.inc" : dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/../../maintenance/commandLine.inc' ); If MW_INSTALL_PATH is not set (and nobody sets it), this layout will break all the maintenance scripts. And there are more way extensions rely on themselves being present in $IP/extensions -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]]) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
