So i should check for the hooks in the renderExample function right? I have
pasted the code in the extension file below. Will that work
Also the reference information should be entered into the page table also? Or
should it just be in the reference and referencelinks table?.
<?php
$wgExtensionFunctions[] = "wfReferenceExtension";
function wfReferenceExtension()
{
global $wgParser;
$wgParser->setHook("ref","renderReference");
}
function renderReference($input)
{
$referenceText = $input;
//to separate id and the refname to display
$reference = explode(" ",$referenceText);
//get the actual display reference
$refDisplay = $reference[0]."]";
//to get teh actual reference Id to insert into the table
$tempId = $reference[1];
$temp = explode("]",$tempId);
$refId = $temp[0];
$wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = array
('myAddReferenceFunction',$refId);
$output = "$refDisplay";
return $output;
}
function myAddReferenceFunction($refId)
{
//db functions
}
?>
Thanks

Check the hooks ArticleSave and ArticleSaveComplete. Wait for those to
be called before commiting data to the DB.
