Re: [MediaWiki-l] extension.json, onRegistration

Hey Sigbert In your extension.json have something like "callback": "Iframe::onRegistration", You should also register your config variables in extension.json. For instance: "config": { "IFrameExternalJSONFile": false, "IFrameDifferentSetting": 42 }, The callback is executed during the setup process, after the LocalSettings has been processed in total. It is not called directly when wfLoadExtension('Iframe') is called. So you can add your setting after the wfLoadExtension('Iframe')-call: wfLoadExtesnion('Iframe'); $wgIFrameExternalJSONFile = __DIR__ . '/nice.json'; Inside the onRegistration() method, you can either use $GLOBALS or use the ConfigFactory to access the setting: $json = $GLOBALS['wgIFrameExternalJSONFile'] $configFactory = MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getConfigFactory(); $configFactory->register( 'IFrame', 'GlobalVarConfig::newInstance' ); // this is necessary due to a bug in the extension registration process, see [0] $myConfig = $configFactory->makeConfig( 'Iframe' ); $json = $myConfig->get( 'IFrameExternalJSONFile' ) I know, the use of the config factory looks like a little bit of an overkill, however since mw wants to steer away from using globals, this is the safer way to go.
