New subject: [Mediawiki-l] StableVersions bugs

2 Feb 2007


      I'm working through the errors I'm getting with the latest version of 
the StableVersion extension from Subversion, I'm sorted a couple but 
have lost the plot with this one:-
Object of class ParserOutput could not be converted to string in 
*\includes\Parser.php* on line *2779*
Line 2779 is :
function replaceVariables( $text, $args = array(), $argsOnly = false ) {
            # Prevent too big inclusions
2779:    if( strlen( $text ) > $this->mOptions->getMaxIncludeSize() ) {
               return $text;
            }
And this (line 387)  is only one place in in the StableVersions.php that 
calls replaceVariables()
function getCacheText( &$article ) {
           global $wgStableVersionCaching, $wgUser;
           $title = $article->getTitle();
           $article->loadContent( true ); # FIXME: Do we need the "true" 
here? For what? Safe redirects??
           $text = $article->mContent;
                     $p = new Parser();
           $p->disableCache();
           $wgStableVersionCaching = true;
           $parserOptions = ParserOptions::newFromUser( $wgUser ); # Dummy
$text = $p->parse( $text, $title, $parserOptions );
           $stripState = $p->mStripState;
           $wgStableVersionCaching = false;
387     $text = $p->replaceVariables( $text, $parserOptions );
                 $this->fixNoWiki( $stripState );
           $p->mStripState = $stripState;
           $text = $p->unstrip( $text, $p->mStripState );
           $text = $p->unstripNoWiki( $text, $p->mStripState );
                     return $text;
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
