Summary: Kill programmatic $IP prefixing of paths
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Resource Loader
AssignedTo: tpars...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: roan.katt...@gmail.com
CC: roan.katt...@gmail.com
Currently, all paths passed to ResourceLoaderFileModule are prefixed with $IP
before being used. This means extensions have to hardcode their location.
because the more elegant solution of using paths relative to __FILE__
(resulting in absolute paths) won't work.
Example of bad code that works:
new ResourceLoaderFileModule( $resources, 'extensions/WikiEditor/modules/' )
Example of good code that breaks:
new ResourceLoaderFileModule( $resources, dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/modules/' )
$IP prefixing should be taken out of the software entirely, and be moved to the
definition of core resources that specify paths relative to $IP (i.e.
Resources.php) or be the default value for the $basepath parameter to
ResourceLoaderFileModule::__construct().
