Hello,
I have just finished my first official third-party mw-extension and wanted to get some advice.
My extension is called "MCCP" and is specifically designed to help people who are tasked with configuration management (CM) of any complex collection of systems.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Mccp
I am witting to the mediawiki-l group to ask for some feedback/advice from anyone who has been successful in making their extensions well known and widely-used. Specifically, I'm hoping someone can tell me if I have posted the extension correctly on the http://www.mediawiki.org for public-use and if there is anything specific I should do to let people know that it exists.
The extension requires other components such as WGET, PEAR and SSL and a custom skin which I have bundled in with the extension.
Since this extension has all these other dependacies, I though it would be most helpful to provide a complete "Installation Walk-through" on the discussion page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Mccp
Please take a peek and let me know if this effort has a credible place in the mediawiki extension collection and how I could best let it be found by the people who might best be served by it.
truly, - Rich (revansx)
I don't know if this is the best way to do this, so any advice is appreciated.
I have a set of information that needs to be included in two different tables. It seems that the simplest approach might be to create a template of parameters and then transclude it into the two different tables/forms. The following yields desired results in the table (without nested transclusion):
{{TestForm |Fld1=Orange |Fld2=Apple |Fld3=Bread |Fld4=Pie }}
However, when I nest the transclusion as follows:
{{TestForm {{TestFlds}} }}
Mediawiki Displays:
{{TestForm |Fld1=Orange |Fld2=Apple |Fld3=Bread |Fld4=Pie }}
Which is the code I'm looking for, but not the result - of course.
As a side note, if I do the preview using:
{{TestForm {{subst:TestFlds}} }}
The display works exactly as desired - except of course it transcludes the code so that any changes to the Template TestFlds would now be picked up - not the desired results.
Any Ideas?
Template:TestFld ------------------------------ |Fld1=Orange |Fld2=Apple |Fld3=Bread |Fld4=Pie ------------------------------
Template:TestForm ------------------------------ {| |{{{Fld1|A}}} |{{{Fld2|B}}} |- |{{{Fld3|C}}} |{{{Fld4|D}}} |} ------------------------------

I suggest thinking of the server kitties.

I was unaware this topic had been addressed. Whether or not I agree with the discussion, I certainly do not want to reopen old wounds. Obviously the correct approach would be to write an extension.
Thanks for pointing me to the discussion Trevor.

You should note that AUM didn't come to consensus so isn't counted as really valid.
