Talk:Embedding mind maps

Can we download the Freemind Extension for MediaWiki

How can I embed Freemind Maps on an internal company wiki page? Can I get the extension to be able to do this?

• I also would like to get the extension .php file to embed the flash MindMap. Would I be able to get it? (daleatzoi, 11.8.06)
• Same request, like very much this functonnality (franxk, 11.15.06)
• You can find the FreeMind.php file in the CVS here [1]

How to download CVS?

Can you give more specific instructions on downloading with a cvs client? Anonymous download possible? --GunterS 10:39, 10 Mar 2007 (PST)

Installation

1. Download the contents of the CVS /extensions/freemind contents and place into ..extensions/freemind/ (lower case!) folder on your site.
2. Download the FreeMind.php file from the CVS /extensions/ contents and place into ..extensions/ folder on your site.
3. Add the line include('extensions/FreeMind.php'); to the end of your LocalSettings.php file (The name of your file is case sensitive!)
4. Add 'mm' to the list of allowed file extensions, e.g. $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'wmz', 'mm' );

Now you can use the extension with different forms of <mm>[[Hello.mm]]</mm> in the wiki as per the article tab --Markr121 12:15, 2 Dec 2006 (PST)

Where does it look for .mm files

I always get a Error: Mind Map file WFPE.mm not found error and I've put the file everywhere I can think of.

Where in the actual File system is it looking? Onefish 20:47, 25 Mar 2007 (PDT)

This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously be interpreted by a web browser.

I have been trying to upload my mindmap file to my mediawiki.

I always get this error

This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously be interpreted by a web browser.

I have tried all the usual stuff, taking html out of the black list etc.

Mediawiki seems to be checking the content of the file and not allowing an upload.

Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE

The html code it is complaining about was created by the comments attached to nodes. After deleting them all, I could upload to mediawiki and it seemed to work fine.

Is there any way to force mediawiki to accept those html comments?

Jere 19:24, 10 Sep 2007 (PDT) Found a simple workaround that could be easily implemented. The Mediawiki SpecialUpload.php code does a scan of any text/ mime-type file looking for html or javascript code. It does an exact match on '<head, <body, <html, <img' tags so in the XML of the map I uploaded, I simply added a space between the < and the tag. Now it doesn't match and it allows the file to be uploaded. Unfortunately, if you re-edit the map and resave, or add other html tag data (images, comments, etc) you must manually re-edit. I haven't reviewed the source code yet (just got the proper download from CVS, not the HEAD) but it shouldn't be too hard to change to add spaces into the html tags.

Ability to save mindmap back into mediawiki?

AtomOil 14:57, 20 Aug 2007 (PDT) I absolutely love freemind and am finding this mediawiki extension very useful indeed. I am a flash developer, so I have been thinking that adding to the plugin so that mindmaps could be edited on the wiki would be very handy indeed and having had a very brief look at the source I don't think it would take that long to develop (unless real life gets in the way). The only thing I am not sure about, is whether its possible to save a file back into mediawiki, or more to the point send some xml data from flash back into mediawiki. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Can I hide the file location?

I have installed this wonderful extension on my site. You can check it out here. I was just wondering if it is possible to hind the name of the file and its location from top the page?

Is it possible to use a external mindmap file?

User:echofloripa I'm trying to use the mindmap that I saved into subversion. I wouldn't like to keep it in wiki. Just like any other file that you save in the wiki or keep it somewhere else (in the repository preferably) it would be a lot better, so that the images could just be save all at once into the repository and the viewer would take the position of the mm file and get the images relative to that place. PS: sorry, not sure how i left that on the main page. I think i meant that I was getting that error when I tried to use an external mm file (http...)

Problem with adding Freemind extension to MediaWiki

I added extension to /extension dir, and 'mm' to LocalSettings.php, but MediaWiki still refuses to upload *.mm files - can anybody suggest what to do with that problem?

PS I added 'pdf' too and *.pdf-s are accepted to upload now. surra 00:54, 19 Sep 2007 (PDT)

MediaWiki rejects text files with string <html> because of security reasons. Mind maps using HTML can not be uploaded on a standard MediaWiki. See #This_file_contains_HTML_or_script_code_that_may_be_erroneously_be_interpreted_by_a_web_browser.DimitriPolivaev 16:02, 19 Sep 2007 (PDT)
