3 * External editors support

12 * Support for external editors to modify both text and files
13 * in external applications. It works as follows: MediaWiki
14 * sends a meta-file with the MIME type 'application/x-external-editor'
15 * to the client. The user has to associate that MIME type with
16 * a helper application (a reference implementation in Perl
17 * can be found in extensions/ee), which will launch the editor,
18 * and save the modified data back to the server.
21 class ExternalEdit
extends ContextSource
{
24 * Array of URLs to link to
31 * @param $context IContextSource context to use
34 public function __construct( IContextSource
$context, array $urls = array() ) {
35 $this->setContext( $context );
40 * Check whether external edit or diff should be used.
42 * @param $context IContextSource context to use
43 * @param $type String can be either 'edit' or 'diff'

$context, $type ) {

54 $request = $context->getRequest();
56 return !$request->getVal( 'internaledit' ) &&
57 ( $context->getUser()->getOption( $pref ) ||
$request->getVal( 'externaledit' ) );
61 * Output the information for the external editor
