Categories + parser functions
by Benny Lichtner 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Sticking a category link in a wiki page automatically adds that wiki page to the corresponding category page. For example, inserting [[Category:Puppies]] adds the page to the Puppies category. Is it possible to achieve the same result with something like [[Category:{{#puppiesfunc}}]], where {{#puppiesfunc}} is replaced by "Puppies"? I guess I'm wondering how the automatic population of category pages works under the hood. --Benny

Re: [MediaWiki-l] [Mediawiki-l] Changing texts within articles
by Henny Savenije 20 Dec '12

I just installed this package but it won't work. As soon as I add require_once( "$IP/extensions/ReplaceText/ReplaceText.php" ) to the LocalSettings.php the wiki doesn't load anymore. All the files are in the ReplaceText subdirectory in the extentions directory I tried to put the require_once statement on several place but no luck. What is going wrong?

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Parser function to test if "this" page is being transcluded?

My original mail seems not to have made it to the list: could be that the CSS style that will prevent the tagged span from being displayed triggers spam/phishing filters ... I've replaced you-know-what with XYZ below... ===================== Then would something like (untested): {{#ifeq: {{PAGENAME}} | <your source page> | |<XYZ>}} ... {{#ifeq: {{PAGENAME}} | <your source page> | |}} work for you?

Transcluding only parts of a page, but specified in template?
by Al Johnson 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

Hi, Is there a way to specify from a template what parts of a page get transcluded? IOW, I want the caller to specify what is transcluded rather than using <includeonly>, etc., tags. Thanks, Al

Parser function to test if "this" page is being transcluded?
by Al Johnson 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

I know I'm asking some off-the-wall questions, but I'm trying to do something special. Thanks ahead of time for your patience /^) I would like to conditionally wrap a section of a page with a tag that sets the CSS style to hidden when that section is being transcluded. So, I want the text to be transcluded, but not visible to the user. Thanks, Al

[SMW] Setting link display text to a data field of the page
by Al Johnson 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

Hi, Note: I haven't used SMW yet, so I'm using pseudo-syntax below. Is there a way to set the text of a link to some data in the linked page? For example, If a page named 'Austin' has a data field named 'capitolOf' with value 'Texas', I want to be able to create a link to that page with the display text being 'Texas' instead of 'Austin'. Pseudo Syntax: [[Austin|Austin.valueOf(capitolOf)]] Is there a way? If there is another way to do it without SMW that would be fine as well. Thanks! Al
