Install the MultimediaViewer extension

The MultimediaViewer extension gives wiki users a different interface for viewing full-size, or nearly full-size, images in their browser without extraneous page loads or confusing interstitial pages.

To install the MultimediaViewer plugin, please follow the steps below:

  • Download the latest MultimediaViewer version from the official Mediawiki extension page.

  • Uncompress the downloaded file in the extensions directory of Mediawiki. The command below should create the MultimediaViewer directory in the Mediawiki extensions directory:

      $ tar -xzf MultimediaViewer-*.tar.gz -C /opt/bitnami/mediawiki/extensions
    
  • Add the MultimediaViewer plugin to the Mediawiki /opt/bitnami/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php file:

      require_once "$IP/extensions/MultimediaViewer/MultimediaViewer.php";
