mediawiki 1.15.1 error

Hi - I've tried this out on mediawiki 1.15.1 and it works, but it produces an error on the page that only says Error: bad URI in <img>!. Can you tell me how to fix this?

Getting the same error. The URI I am using is definately reachable. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Was having the same problem and figured out the solution. Where it currently has:

if (preg_match('/^http\:\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@\?\^\=\%\&:\/\~\+\#]*[\w\-\@\?\^\=\%\&\/\~\+\#])?\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$/', $input)) {

replace with:

if (preg_match('/^http\:\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@\?\^\=\%\&:\/\~\+\#]*[\w\-\@\?\^\=\%\&\/\~\+\#])?\.(jpe?g|png|gif|JPE?G|PNG|GIF|jpg|JPG)$/', $input)) {

This makes it work as intended, which is much better than any other external embed image function I've tried so far!

Use within a Template

Hi, I would like to use <img>{{abc}}</img> within a template. Unfortunatly it seems that the img tag is only analysed in when the Template is composed, but not if you add an instance to another page. Any idea how to fix it? --MyRobotron (talk) 20:41, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
