InstallationEdit
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
MsCalendarin yourextensions/folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your
LocalSettings.php:wfLoadExtension( 'MsCalendar' );
- Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.

To users running MediaWiki 1.24 or earlier:
The instructions above describe the new way of installing this extension using wfLoadExtension().
If you need to install this extension on these earlier versions (MediaWiki 1.24 and earlier), instead of wfLoadExtension( 'MsCalendar' );, you need to use:
require_once "$IP/extensions/MsCalendar/MsCalendar.php";
 Warning: | Some older versions of this extension had an XSS vulnerability in it. You should make sure you are either using exactly version 2.0-1, or are using version 2.3 or higher |
UsageEdit
WikitextEdit
To insert a calendar into a wiki page, the minimal wikitext is:
<MsCalendar>Name of the calendar</MsCalendar>
By default, all entries are listed alphabetically. If you want to sort them by id (the date at which they were added), do:
<MsCalendar sort="id">Name of the calendar</MsCalendar>
InterfaceEdit
On opening a calendar page, today's date is viewed and highlighted by default:
You can navigate the calendar, using the panel at the top. The "HEUTE" button will always take you back to today's date:
Add an entry by clicking the little "+" sign at the according date:
Now you can name your event ("Name des Events"), change the date ("Datum") of the event, set the duration in days ("Dauer in Tagen") and choose if the event is recurring annually ("Jährlich wiederholen"). Confirm your entries by clicking "Eintrag erstellen":
To change or delete ("Event Löschen") an entry, just click on it.
Please keep in mind that all entries are displayed as one-liners and shortened accordingly if too long. Using "mouse-over" they still can be read without opening them:
As you can see, this example calendar uses the sorting option:
