For a good set of pointers on programmatically creating pages, take a look at the InitialiseMessages.inc file in the maintenance dir. It's got a chunk of code which demonstrates how to create a new page and insert it into the database, with revision and text information.

Hi, I want to create a page and have some default text for it on the 'ArticleSaveComplete' event. For this i ma inserting information into the page, revision and text table. I am enetring the default text into the text table. I do not know how to get the length of the page (that is the default text) to inset it into the page table. Will this actually create a page for it or do i need ot call Article class for the same?

No, a lot of the stuff in that file you can ignore. For instance, you aren't going to need to disable $wgOut or fake your $wgUser values. Concentrate on the bits that instantiate the article class, and the revision classes, and use the insertOn and updateTo methods. Rob Church On 17/02/06, Amruta Lonkar <amrutasl(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I guess its the initialiseMessagesReal function right in the file you mentioned? I have one question though. Is it necessary to do all the diabling functions that have been done in it for creating the pages that i want to create. There is a lot of code in that function and i cant exactly figure out how to use it to code for a new namespace, page and default text. -Amruta On 2/17/06, Rob Church <robchur(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Well, you customise what actually goes in the revision data according to what you really want. Rob Church On 17/02/06, Amruta Lonkar <amrutasl(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I think i can understand it now. So will the $messsageArray used in the function store my default text to be shown on the page? -Amruta On 2/17/06, Rob Church <robchur(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks to both of you for your help. I will try it out and see. Thanks! Quoting Hugh Prior <mediawiki(a)localpin.com>om>:

I have created a little function (I think based on the same stuff Rob Church suggested a while back) which does what I need in terms of creating a page calling other existing stuff. I offer it here for whatever use you can make of it: /** * Create a wiki page */ function createWikiPage($wikiPageName, $pageText="(Page text default in createWikiPage)") { $dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER ); # Process each message $title = new Title(); $title = $title->newFromText($wikiPageName); $article = new Article( $title ); $newid = $article->insertOn( $dbw ); # FIXME: set restrictions $revision = new Revision( array( 'page' => $newid, 'text' => $pageText, 'user' => 0, 'user_text' => "This page automatically created by ".__FILE__, 'comment' => '', ) ); $revid = $revision->insertOn( $dbw ); $article->updateRevisionOn( $dbw, $revision ); $dbw->commit(); return $revid; } _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

I forgot to type this in the previous mail. Also i am trying to add the page to a specific namespace . Can you suggest what i need to add to your code to do that? On 2/17/06, Amruta Lonkar <amrutasl(a)gmail.com> wrote:

So is it not ecessary to insert anything in the page table?. You return the $revid in your code, will that be necessary if i just want to create a page with the text? Thanks, Amruta On 2/17/06, Hugh Prior <mediawiki(a)localpin.com> wrote:

When passing the title to the article, use the appropriate function to build a title given the namespace number and title text, e.g. $article = new Article( Title::makeTitle( $namespace, $title ) ); Rob Church On 17/02/06, Amruta Lonkar <amrutasl(a)gmail.com> wrote:
