TheMultimediaViewer extension gives wiki users a different interface for viewing full-size or nearly full-size images in their browser without extraneous page loads or confusing interstitial pages.
You will also likely want to downloadExtension:CommonsMetadata. It is not a hard requirement, but without it, you will not get much information in the boxes showing details about the images.
On third-party wikis, even if you only use locally uploaded images, you need CommonsMetatada to populate the information in the boxes via atemplate holding information about the files.)

Done – Navigate toSpecial:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Vagrant installation:
vagrant roles enable multimediaviewer --provision$wgMediaViewerEnableByDefault and$wgMediaViewerEnableByDefaultForAnonymous will determine whether MultimediaViewer is enabled by default for everyone and anonymous users, respectively. They both default totrue.$wgMediaViewerUseThumbnailGuessing will improve performance when enabled, but can be fragile depending on how the wiki is set up (it will probably work fine if you use a404 handler).To ensure files are offered for download and not viewed in the user's browser following a click on theDownload … button, the server has to be configured, except when using vagrant:
If the requested URL to an image directory contains thedownload query parameter, theContent-Disposition-header must be set toattachment.This can be achieved in Apache and compatible serversusing mod_rewrite and mod_headers in a.htaccess file.Varnish configuration can looklike this.
Next, go to a page that has a thumbnail on it. Try clicking on the image or on the "expand" icon near it. The lightbox should pop up and give you a bigger view of the image.
If you'd prefer, there's anexported test environment that you can use via "Special:Import" to set up a suitable testing environment quickly.
MultimediaViewer andUploadWizard need several templates to show data of photos.Save thiscode in an XML file and import it in your wiki.
