MediaWiki talk:Gadget-imagelinks.js

Doesn't work for all links

This gadget seems not to be working in all cases. A link like File:Roger Willemsen signature.svg isn't redirected to commons. --Patrick87 (talk) 14:19, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

I investigated the issue and sadly this is a limitation of the script (see here). --Patrick87 (talk) 17:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Fix paths

Whenever this gadget is included multiple times (as in d:MediaWiki:Common.js and m:User:Ricordisamoa/global.js) all file links result in "//commons.wikimedia.org//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:...". The issue would be solved by replacing localBasePath and localBaseScript in currVal only at the string beginning. Thanks in advance, --Ricordisamoa 05:41, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

@Ricordisamoa: Sorry, I'm not really sure what you mean. Can you post working code somewhere and then I can copy it over? Thanks, Legoktm (talk) 21:49, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

@Legoktm: Replace these two lines:

			localBasePath = mw.util.wikiGetlink( mw.config.get( 'wgFormattedNamespaces' )['6'] + ':' ),
			localBaseScript = mw.util.wikiScript() + '?title=' + mw.util.wikiUrlencode( mw.config.get( 'wgFormattedNamespaces' )['6'] + ':' ),

With these two lines:

			localBasePath = new RegExp('^' + mw.util.wikiGetlink( mw.config.get( 'wgFormattedNamespaces' )['6'] + ':' ).replace(/[\-\[\]\/\{\}\(\)\*\+\?\.\\\^\$\|]/g, "\\$&")),
			localBaseScript = new RegExp('^' + (mw.util.wikiScript() + '?title=' + mw.util.wikiUrlencode( mw.config.get( 'wgFormattedNamespaces' )['6'] + ':' )).replace(/[\-\[\]\/\{\}\(\)\*\+\?\.\\\^\$\|]/g, "\\$&")),

@Legoktm: or @MSGJ: Could you please delete User:Ricordisamoa/imagelinks.js? I created it as sandbox, but it's unuseful now. Thanks, --Ricordisamoa 23:13, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

$.escapeRE is not a function

I'm using this gadget externally by importing it into global.js. When I do so using Chrome 54, I get an error on Wikimedia pages:

index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-imagelinks.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:21 Uncaught TypeError: $.escapeRE is not a function
