Hi, Is it possible to pass variables (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ Help:Variable) to extensions ? For exemple... <myExtension snippet="Map" domain="domain.com" title="{{SUBPAGENAME}}" /> How do I set the page title as a parameter ? Is there any other way of doing this ?

Not for extension tags like <myExtension> - but parser functions like {{#myExtension}} can handle it just fine. -- Jim R. Wilson (jimbojw) On 5/9/07, Carlos Jorge Andrade <carlos.andrade(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Yah, but the parameter passing is awfull as far as I can tell... no key/value. :-) On May 9, 2007, at 4:05 PM, Jim Wilson wrote:

Well, it's a trade off. You can have name/value pairs with a tag extension -XOR- interpreted {{parameters}}. Good luck! -- Jim On 5/9/07, Carlos Jorge Andrade <carlos.andrade(a)gmail.com> wrote:

global $wgTitle? see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Global_variables

Please do not use $wgTitle in parser extensions. Use $parser->getTitle(), where $parser is the third parameter to tag-style callbacks or the first parameter to parser function callbacks. -- Tim Starling
