Hi, I am wondering why the expression #expr is not functioning at my website at Teknologi-maklumat <http://teknologi-maklumat.jbdirectory.com>. I did install the Parserfunction extension and also set slow parser to true. -- PM Poon

I don't know anything about this feature, but I'd guess that others could help you better if you: [1] give an example of the code [2] what you expect it to do [3] and what it actually does. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Haim (Howard) Roman Computer Center, Jerusalem College of Technology Phone: 052-8-592-599 (6022 from within Machon Lev) On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 01:59, Ekompute .info <ekompute(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Haim, thank you for your response. I was trying this formula: {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{PAGESINNS:102}}*3.5 round 0}}}} and it didn't work but when i just type {{PAGESINNS:102}}, it works perfectly. I tried it in another website of mine and both works. I wonder why. PM Poon On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 1:03 PM, Haim (Howard) Roman <roman(a)jct.ac.il>wrote;wrote:

Hello PM Poon, #expr works fine on your wiki, but you cannot use commas in mathematical expressions. {{PAGESINNS:102}} evaluates to "2,387", but you can get a raw number (without comma) with {{PAGESINNS:102|R}}. -- Yours cordially, Jesse (Pathoschild)

Hi Jesse, that was magical! I suspected that, among many many suspects, and I tried {{PAGESINNS:102}}:R which of course didn't work. Thank you very very much. An expression on the homepage was indeed very very ugly. PM Poon On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 7:22 PM, Jesse (Pathoschild) <pathoschild(a)gmail.com>wrote;wrote:

Hi, This is because the {{PAGESINNS}} is returning 2*,*387. The comma (thousands) seperator causes #expr to fail as it only recognises raw numbers for calculation purposes. If you use the |R (raw number) parameter (i.e. {{PAGESINNS:102|R}}, it should work. Regards, Daniel On 19 April 2010 06:14, Ekompute .info <ekompute(a)gmail.com> wrote:
