I changed to $wgParser

function renderMedia($input) { global $wgParser; return $wgParser->parse('...', $wgParser->mTitle, $wgParser->mOptions, false, false); } Note that $parse in Parser.php is marked as @access private, should I use it ? or should it become public ? my server runs php4 so that's not a problem now for me.

Ok the page is added to category, but parse() returns an Object, not a string. In my older version, return $wgOut->parse(...) returned a string of the HTML output.

What's wrong ?

Hi, I've made a little parser extension for my needs.

I want this extension add automatically the page where it's called to a category, say Category:Foobar.

In my function, I wrote : return $wgOut->parse('blabla[[Category:Foobar]]');

but my page isn't added to category Foobar. "blabla" is working very

well.

...

What is wrong with my code ?

You're using the wrong parser. The parser that $wgOut uses discards the parser output, which is where things like link table updates come from.

Something like:

$parser->parse( "...", $parser->mTitle, $parser->mOptions, false, false);

where $parser is the parser object passed to the hook; should work.

1. Your parser hook will be given a parser object to use. Use that as

$parser with this function definition:

function renderMedia( $input, $args, &$parser )

2. The parse() function returns a ParserOutput object. So do something

like

$output = <parse statement> return $output->getText();
