Description

Wikimedia Commons is a great portal containing a lot useful contents for course designers. It would be useful to have direct Commons repo plugins allowing you:

  • search commons
  • import media into course local files
  • auto meta-info support (licence, source URL etc.)

I found the wikimedia API here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=txtfm
But it seems there is no way to search images sitewide:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=txtfm
api.php?action=query&generator=search&gsrsearch=image_keyword&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url
this will search keyword sitewide, but cannot do image only searching.

hi, there''s still some things to do:

  • add multipage browsing of search results
  • search under search link dosn't work, only under main login form.
