MW 1.5.6: Search results order question
by Jennifer Woy 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

We use MW 1.5.6 as our Intranet and we are puzzled how a full text search for a word (one more than 4 characters) returns its results? We think we want to change the results order. Questions: 1. Why are search results not sorted by article title? How are they sorted? 2. If a priority is used for returned results, how does the search function determine or assign the priority to the article? 3. What are the fields displayed in search results? What are the numbers under each title? Is it the record line number? 4. Finally, can we configure or manipulate our displayed search results? Maybe some localsettings.php setting? Problem example: We searched for the word "character", clicked the Search button and the following results displayed for article matches: 1. TN <https://wiki.abistech.us/index.php/TN_1018_Character_Encodings_in_HTML-JSP_ and_Servlets> 1018 Character Encodings in HTML-JSP and Servlets (3865 bytes) 5: =Character Encondings for i18n Content= 2.

Multiple Parsing Stages / Parsers
by Hinnerk Bruegmann 01 Nov '06

Greetings, I am using MediaWiki for gathering and structuring content for a research project and am trying to implement a customized version of the BibTex extension http://gsc2.cemif.univ-evry.fr/index.php/Mediawiki_extensions#Bibtex_extens… Basically the extension (called via a custom <citetex> tag) takes input from a template, processes the BibTex information found there and outputs a book/article reference. Some of that information (like author names) shall be processed as wikitext (e.g. to link to the author page inside the Wiki). It shall be possible for the <citetex> tag to occur multiple times on a page referencing different "source-templates". Using the parser object passed to the extensions render function: function renderCiteBook( $input, $argv, &$parser) { // do some processing of the input here -> $string $localOutput = $parser->parse($string, $parser->mTitle, $parser->mOptions, false); $output .= $string->getText(); } results in all but the last <citetex> instance to be output as an UNIQ object. Following the instructions on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_extensions_FAQ#How_do_I_render_wik… (that is creating a new local parser object inside the render-function and using the parse() method of that instance) solved this problem and wikitags are now parsed correctly. What this approach does not accomplish, is creating the appropriate wiki-references (no exact idea how they are created and stored in the wiki-db) so "whatlinkshere" and "wanted pages" etc. don't work for content/links parsed in this way. So: do you have an idea or suggestion on how to get the backlinks etc. references working also for wiki-links created by an extension? Thanks alot for your help, Hinnerk
