Re: [Mediawiki-l] return of the "Re: custom" posts

Hi, I may not ask this question correctly, but please meet me half-way. I wish to modify the "monobook.php" file at the line which renders the top page title into the "firstHeading" portion of the page. The php syntax is: <?php $this->text('title') ?> and it provides the page title at the top of the wiki entry. I wish to get it to provide the wikidb's pages table's "pageid" number as part of the title. Something like this: "PageID:#7654, My Page Title" where pageid=7654 and pagetitle="My Page Title" Based of a recomendation from an earlier post (thanks Rob!), I tried to add the following php code to the top of the "monobook.php" file: global $wgTitle; $id = $wgTitle->getArticleId(); and then modified the firstHeading code as: PageID:#<?php $ID ?>, <?php $this->text('title') ?> but this didn't work and it crashed the page such that it wouldn't even render at all (just a blank white page with no error message). I have 3 questions: Q1 - Why didn't it work? Q2 - What do do i need to do to get it to work. Q3 - where is the "$this" class described so that I can see what page information i have available (I'm asking for a link please). thanks, - rich (revansx) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
