Hi,

I think I had a similar problem. I solved it by using just one tag, and added an "action" param.

<sample action=dojobxxx>...</sample>

In "renderTagSample" you can then check the "action" arg and switch to the job you want to do...

Hope this helps. Greetings Frank

Hi,

I'am writing a tag extension which declares several tags.

When with <sample>...</sample>

function renderTagSample( $input, array $args, Parser $parser, PPFrame $frame ) { ... }

is called is there a way to get the tag name "sample" itself inside renderTagSample?

Thanks in advance

I am pretty sure the answer is no. I worked around it by defining my callbacks dynamically, one per tag.

Suppose you are writing 3 tags named <A>, <B>, and <C>. You can dynamically create a callback function for each one, passing the tag name to it, something like this:

public static function initTags(Parser &$parser) { foreach (array('A', 'B', 'C') as $tagName) { $callback = function($argv) use ($tagName, $parser) { return Tags::processTag($tagName, $argv, $parser); }; $parser->setHook($tagName, $callback); } return true; }

Now the function processTag() knows the tag name, and you can write it to do whatever you want.
