Install Guide:

1. Install the plugin:
Install the plugin using the Joomla Administrator (Backend).

2. Configuration:
From your Joomla Administrator (Backend), navitage to Extensions > Plugins and search for "Search - MediaWiki". Click the link to open the configuration page for the plugin.

You have to set 2 important settings:

• MediaWiki Database, the name of your MediaWiki database in MySQL.
• MediaWiki Table Prefix, the prefix used in your MediaWiki tables (optional).
• MediaWiki URL, the base URL for your MediaWiki pages.

Configure the MediaWiki Database:

The MediaWiki Database is the name of your MediaWiki database. Your Joomla! database user needs SELECT grants on this database. You'll need to grant this permissions in your database, using your favorite MySQL client (e.g. phpMyAdmin). For example, if your Joomla databaser user is "joomla_usr" and your MediaWiki database name is "mediawiki", you'll need to execute the following SQL query: {codecitation class="brush: plain; gutter: false;"}

    GRANT SELECT ON `mediawiki`.* TO 'joomla_usr'

{/codecitation}
Configure the MediaWiki Table Prefix (optional):

The MediaWiki Table Prefix is the prefix used by the MediaWiki tables. If you are not using a prefix, just leave this field empty. The common value is "MW_".


Configure the MediaWiki URL:

The MediaWiki URL is the base URL for your MediaWiki pages. The plugin will use this URL to create a link to your MediaWiki pages for each result. This value depends on your installation relative to your Joomla installation. If MediaWiki is installed in a folder inside the Joomla folder called wiki then the value should be "/wiki/index.php?title=".
If you are using a SEF (Search Engine Friendly) configuration, you may need to use something like "/wiki/". The plugin will fill in the name of the wiki page.

Remember to enable the plugin and save changes.

3. Enjoy:
