Closed, ResolvedPublic

Browser Version

  • Chromium 69.0.3497.81

Developer notes

Follow the logic of the MultimediaViewer extension: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-MultimediaViewer/blob/master/resources/mmv.head/mmv.head.js#L38

Do not interfere with non-left clicks or if modifier keys are pressed.

QA steps

This can be tested on beta cluster or reading web staging (dev should confirm this and delete this parenthesises when this is done)

Things to double check
On mobile:

  • Does clicking the image load the media overlay on mobile
  • Can I use open image in new tab (hold press) without opening the image overlay

On desktop:

  • Does clicking an image show the media overlay?
  • Can I open an image in a new tab without opening the image overlay

I did a little bit of code digging:

If we're on the desktop the image click is handled by the MultimediaViewer extension in mmv.boostrap.js:430,
but on the mobile phone the click is handled by the MinervaNeue skin in init.js:26 and the extension gets notified by an hash change in mmv.js:903.

To change this behavior I would recommend to change the click handler in the MinervaNeue skin to open the picture correctly.
I hope this change doesn't break other extensions.
