Hi,

I'm trying to write an extension, that is intended to provide a special page with a list of translations. I want to offer a link that says 'update translation' and when they click on it, it leads to an edit box for that page with an already-filled in edit summary, "updating translation to rev $1".

So the links on my special page are like 'index.php?title=Test&action=edit&translationrev=1706'

this is what I wrote:

<code> $wgHooks[ 'AlternateEdit' ][] = 'TranslationUpdateEdit';

/** * Function: TranslationUpdateEdit * - Inserts custom summary for users updating translation pages * * @param $editpage: the editpage (object) being called */ function TranslationUpdateEdit( &$editpage ) { global $wgRequest, $wgOut; $rev = $wgRequest->getVal( 'translationrev' ); if ( $rev ) { $editpage->summary = wfMsgForContent( 'translatorhelp_updateeditsummary', $rev ); $wgOut->addHTML("there was a rev!"); } else { $wgOut->addHTML("there was no rev!"); } return true; } </code>

When I follow the link from my Special page, the edit page says "there was a rev!" so I am confident my function here is being utilised, but the edit summary is still blank.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance, Brianna
