Hi Aretai,

Have a look at some of the predefined templates provided by mediawiki, referred to as variables.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Maybe someone knows how to create links using template? I'm trying to make a template like this:

[{{{link}}} {{{title}}}]

So the external link and let user specify both link and title while using template. It may seem to be more diff than just pressing a button, but it may find a good use in some cases.

I thought about using absolute html extensions http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Joncutrer/Extensions/absHTML and making template:

<abshtml><a href="{{{link}}}" target="_blank">{{{title}}}</a></ abshtml>

This way it should be also possible to link to network drives. However it's not working. It makes a link to:

http://wiki/%7B%7B%7Blink%7D%7D%7D ;( or maybe there is other way to achieve such results?

thx in advance. Aretai _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
