I want to enable opening external links in a new window function in Mediawiki. I tried to modify the "LocalSettings.php" file according to the below instructions:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Opening_external_links_in_a_new_window
But I still couldn't get it working. When I looked up in the above link "Discussion" wiki page I found more informations which confused me. Any idea how to set this work in a simple and straightforward way?
If you want a few specific links to open in a new window:
You can use the LinkTarget extension. You can then surround the appropriate links with an HTML element with a class of your choosing and get the extension to handle them.
(tor's answer also had a relevant extension linked, but Wikia removed that extension and it probably will not be maintained).
If you want all external links to open in a new window:
MediaWiki already has a setting for it: $wgExternalLinkTarget.
Just add the following to your LocalSettings.php file:
$wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';
Do keep in mind that some internal links might not be identified as such, and therefore will open in a new window; one such example is an internal edit link created by using
[{{fullurl:Main Page|action=edit}}]
Link: $wgExternalLinkTarget on MediaWiki.org
I'm not sure if you want to open all external links in new windows (tabs) or only select links.
If it's the latter, then you can try our new window links extension. Not necessarily pretty, but will work if you only need a few links.
Now, if you want all external links to open up in new windows, you need to use the LinkerMakeExternalLink hook and modify the $attribs parameter to your liking.
Happy hacking!

I am new to Blazor and trying to show File Saveas Dialog as shown in following link on a button click.
Save as Image
The requirement is - upon clicking the Saveas button above Saveas dialog should be popped up where user can choose the destination of file and file name.
I have tried "enabling the setting to check the save location in the download settings of the browser" and it works. But we do not want to depend on the Browser settings.
Please add your thoughts on below..
Instead of depending on the browser settings is there any other way to show Saveas dialog?
Are there any open source Nuget packages available to help on this?
NOTE: I am using .NET 6.0 for building my application
Thanks in advance,

I also wanted to bring up a window to save a file in which the user could select a folder. Before that, the system automatically saved to the Downloads folder.
As I understood, there was no such possibility before, but now it is possible thanks to this api: https://caniuse.com/native-filesystem-api.
I found this solution in the answer to this question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70001920/16740180.
It's worth noting that I use Blazor WebAssembly and not a Blazor Server. And I do not know if it will work for you.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work for mobile devices right now, but it works fine for windows. I hope this helps someone.
This isn't a Blazor thing. In web browsers, files are downloaded from links using <a> tag in HTML using the download attribute. Just create a link to your file:
<a href="path_to_file" download>Save</a>
Save
The path must be on the same server, but blob and data links will work as well.
If you do not suggest a name, the browser will use the original filename (possibly changed to remove symbols the OS doesn't allow in file paths).

If you want your link to look like a button, then that's a different issue, and you can google or ask that.
For my Trac plugin, I have made an export script which converts contents to a different format. The result is an HTML code.
When I click the link, some browsers open the HTML code in a new tab, while others offer to download it as a .print file, depending on their specific settings I think. Opening this .print file shows the same HTML page as opening it directly, but locally instead of from the server.
How can I force it to always open in a new tab?
I think it might be a mimetype issue. If it is, which mimetype can I use to tell the browser to open the HTML code directly? I am currently using text/html as mimetype.
EDIT: some more info
To give some more insight, adapting from a comment of mine below:
I do not create the link myself. The link is provided by Trac, the bug tracking software the plugin is for, and what I do is implement the method that creates the HTML code and let it return the HTML code along with the mimetype. Trac then returns the HTML code either as a file, or as a new tab, when clicking on that content conversion link. What I am searching for is a possibility to specify in the HTML code or mimetype that it gets opened in a new tab directly.
Maybe there is some kind of mimetype specifying the (HTML) text as an HTML web document instead of HTML file (if that distinction even exists).
Or an HTML/XML header or doctype specifying whether it gets downloaded or opened by a browser. I think the browser need to get that information from somewhere.
Or maybe there is an option to set in Trac.
I hope these ideas of mine about what could exist can help those of you who are versed with either or some of these to find a solution. I could not find a solution through my research yet.
If you have a link that "directly" opens (not in a new tab) and you want it to open a new tab, one way of doing it is
This will create a blank page, then paste the link there automagically and thus you will have a new tab with the desired page.
I installed a mediawiki and my version is 1.21.1, now I want to add some code when the page is onload using javascript. I have searched on the Internet and found we can put our scripts on the Common.js file, but I don't found Common.js in my wiki project. I have searched the whole directory and still did not find it.
Anyone could tell me how to achieve my goal?
brightbyte's answer, which worked: Enter MediaWiki:Common.js into the search box of your wiki. It will tell you the page doesn't exist - just create it. Any JS code you put in there will be executed on every page load. Of course, you have to be an administrator to create or edit that page.
This is documented at Manual:Interface/JavaScript; there are similar customisations at Manual:User group CSS and Javascript and Manual:Page customizations.
I have this theme http://themes.two2twelve.com/site/fluidapp/light/ installed on my website running wordpress. I converted the template to a wordpress theme by following the steps here: http://thethemefoundry.com/blog/html-wordpress/ and its all working fine.
However, I have now been given the crazy task to integrate a "Back button" function in it.
What they want is to have some sort of Back button functionality (or the browser one) so when they open Team and they press Back - they go back to Home. The template is basically one-paged, you can see so in the source code.
One way I can see this happening is if I make every page a different .php file, upload them to my theme folder and then just hyperlink them. like www.yoursite.com/team.php
Another possible way (I think) would be to create a page.php template file and then post the pages using wordpress. Question: How do I tell wordpress to use page.php as the page template file?
Can you think of another way to integrate this functionality? Thanks a lot in advance.
If it always is going to return the user to the startpage you could just use the home_url(); function.
Back
If you got more advance structure and you want the button to just redirect the user back one page, you should use javascript.
Back
page.php is the default template for wordpress pages. So if no other is selected in admin, page.php will be used.
If you're using javascript to load the new content, you could use javascript pushState()and popState() to log the stuff to new url's, and it gets added to the browser history. Here's an example.
What I'm trying to do is to save the changes I make to CSS and HTML on different sites with Firebug.
Just to be clear, I don't expect Firebug to upload the changes to the server via FTP or anything. I just want to save the changes locally, so only I will be able to see them.
For example I've seen a few Firefox/Chrome extensions that add a download button under every video on Youtube, so I know it's possible to do that somehow.
If you have a different way to achieve what I'm trying to do, I'll be glad to hear about it.
(It doesn't have to be with Firebug.)
Thanks in advance!
If you don't mind using Web Developer Toolbar it's easy to save changes made to the DOM (and CSS).
When you install the toolbar, you'll get a "View Source" menu, click on that and choose "View generated source". Then just copy and paste that into a .html file.
You did not say if you alter your HTML or CSS, if CSS, FireFile is a very good addon for this.
Edit, with some Googling, i found FireDiff, which states that it can export changes made in Firebug, i have not tested it bit it's worth checking out.
You could try using Greasemonkey.
It has support for adding custom scripts that are run whenever you load a page (linked to which pages it should load on) and that can make changes to the page dynamically.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
The http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ web developer toolbar will let you add a user style sheet to a site which should achieve your goals.
This may or may not be exactly what you're asking for, but you can download the extension FireDiff in order to save changes made with FireBug. I made a little tutorial on how to do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4OmZLX2zd4
I have a somewhat simlar use-case that I solved differently. I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for or not. I'll describe the behavior and if that is helpful I'll explain exactly how I implemented it.
I changed the code that execute when you click "Run" (or Ctrl+Enter) to check to see if the first line of the code is a hard-coded string //LoadFromFile:<file path>. If it is, and the file exists then I pull the file off of the local file system and run it instead of executing the code in the console window. This way I can use an external text editor to write code.
