The GlobalCssJs extension allows loading CSS and JavaScript (JS) from a central wiki.
It supports wiki farm-wide and individual site-wide "MediaWiki:Global.js"/"MediaWiki:Global.css" pages and per-user "User:$username/global.js"/"User:$username/global.css" pages on a specified central wiki. The term "global" is used to mean across a wiki farm (compare with Extension:GlobalUsage) and the capitalization ("Css" and "Js") is due to MediaWiki extension naming conventions.
Installation
edit- Download and move the extracted
GlobalCssJs
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/GlobalCssJs - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'GlobalCssJs' );
- Configure as required.
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
editwgUseGlobalSiteCssJs
editWhether to enable MediaWiki:Global.js/MediaWiki:Global.css pages. By default enabled.
$wgUseGlobalSiteCssJs = true;
wgGlobalCssJsConfig
editResourceLoader configuration of the global wiki. By default, no global wiki is specified.
$wgGlobalCssJsConfig = [
'wiki' => false,
'source' => false,
];
'wiki'
should be set to the database name of the central wiki.'source'
should be the name of the ResourceLoader source.
An example configuration might look like:
$wgGlobalCssJsConfig = [
'wiki' => 'metawiki',
'source' => 'metawiki',
];
// 'source' must point to a key in $wgResourceLoaderSources, like so:
// $wgResourceLoaderSources['metawiki'] = array(
// 'apiScript' => 'https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php',
// 'loadScript' => 'https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/load.php',
//);
To test it out locally without a central repository, point it at the local wiki, like so:
$wgGlobalCssJsConfig = [
'wiki' => $wgDBname,
'source' => 'local',
];
Hook
editIf you are not using shared user tables for managing users, you can use a hook to state whether a user on one wiki is equal to another.
public static function onLoadGlobalCssJs( User $user, $centralWiki, $localWiki );
$centralWiki
is the wiki the JS/CSS is being taken from, and $localWiki
is the current wiki the request is being executed on. The hook will not be called if $centralWiki === $localWiki
.
The function should return true if the users are the same, and false if they are not. An example subscriber can be found in the CentralAuth extension.

editSee Help:Extension:GlobalCssJs for details.
