Hi Luc!

>From my expierience inheritance of dialogs is rather hard to do and also probably not meant to be done.

In the end it might be easier to actually implement a standalone dialog.

If you are interested in ways to modify existing dialogs and adding stuff to VisualEditor in general, you may want to have a look at the BlueSpiceVisualEditorConnector extension [1-5].

Betreff: [Wikitech-l] VisualEditor inheriting from TransclusionNode in parser function extension?

Hi,

I am struggling to succeed with inheriting from TransclusionNode in parser function extension?

Inheriting a dialog from "ve.ui.MWTransclusionDialog" contains the "Add Template" input and button,

what is the right level to inherit from if this is a supported flow?

As well as inheriting into the DM for MWTransclusion which works, but recognizes {{PAGEName}} that contains a <div> as a function parser node.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the code is a little overwhelming.

Cheers,

Luc
