Adds the <NDL></NDL> tag, that enables rendering "Notes Data Link" (NDL) code as a web accessible link.

Usage

• Edit any page and add an NDL tag according to this scheme:

<NDL>
<REPLICA 85B365A7:0251A0C7>
<VIEW OFAAC7D56C:A8FC874B-ON852563BE:00619639>
<NOTE OF6B6E35F1:C0F257AC-ONC1258288:002433CE>
<HINT>CN=MyHost.com</HINT>
<REM>sampleDB</REM>
</NDL>

• This will create a link with the name "sampleDB" which directs to "notes://MyHost.com/85B365A7:0251A0C7/85B365A7:0251A0C7/OF6B6E35F1:C0F257AC-ONC1258288:002433CE".

• <translate> [[<tvar name=2>Special:ExtensionDistributor/NotesLink</tvar>|Download]] and move the extracted <tvar name=name>NotesLink</tvar> folder to your <tvar name=ext>extensions/</tvar> directory.</translate>

  wfLoadExtension( 'NotesLink' );
  

• <translate> Run the [[<tvar name=update>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Update.php</tvar>|update script]] which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.</translate>

Configuration

• $noteslinkDocumentHost

If the host isn't parsed from the HINT field automatically (i.e. no "CN=..."), it can be forced by using Use this parameter to add the keywords that should be available globally.

$noteslinkDocumentHost = 'MyHost.com';
