I need some hints about how to go about to create a dump filter and a plugin for dumpBackup.php.

If anyone has done a filter or plugin before, or have a link to an example, I'd be very happy to take advice. :)

Hi all, I need some hints about how to go about to create a dump filter and a plugin for dumpBackup.php. Since I'm a Delphi programmer I'll probably do well the programming of the inner details, if I only knew how the stub for a filter (& a plugin) should look. I need to do quite extensive examination of the text content of articles before knowing what to keep and what to skip. Sometimes I'd like to even modify the text before dumping it. Hints about how to design a plugin would also be apprechiated. Options according to the dumpBackup.php file: --plugin=<class>[:<file>] --filter=<type>[:<options>] If anyone has done a filter or plugin before, or have a link to an example, I'd be very happy to take advice. :) // Rolf Lampa _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
