Custom protcol in hyperlinks on mediawiki site

Question

Hi,

We have custom protocol on our network that opens up windows in our application. We would like to put links to this application in our Wiki however the only protocols mediawiki seems to recognise are http:// file:// ftp://.

We have put a fudge in that passes a parameter to a html file and executes a link, however it would be great if anyone knew a way of having custom protocol hyperlinks in mediawiki sites.

Thanks.

I think you can use $wgUrlProtocols in your LocalSettings.php.

See here for instructions: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/$wgUrlProtocols
