Don't know, if that's the correct way, but it is done in SRF for the excel format: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticResultFormats/blob/master/forma...

Hey,

On my local wiki I have a page with the name "File:Blue marker.png". The following code returns false:

$title = Title::makeTitle( NS_FILE, $file ); $title->exists();

That used to return true in the past. Not sure what is broken - my wiki or MediaWiki itself.

What I want to do is go from string page name, such as "File:Blue marker.png", to full URL, such as " http://localhost/phase3/images/6/6f/Blue_marker.png". What is the recommended way of doing this now (that works on MW 1.19 and later)?

Cheers

You're sure about that? I think you're just mixing up $title->exists() and $title->isKnown().

$title = Title::makeTitle( NS_FILE, $filename ); $file = wfLocalFile( $title ); $file->getUrl();

That's generally right, but depending on the exact context, the following might be more appropriate:

$title = Title::makeTitle( NS_FILE, $filename ); $file = wfFindFile( $title ); $file->getFullUrl(); // or $file->getCanonicalUrl(); if you need the protocol.

wfLocalFile will always return a file object even if there is no file by that name (And it will take its best guess at the url even for non-existent files). If the name given would normally be a foreign file, wfLocalFile( 'Foo.jpg' )->getUrl() would return what the url would be if there was a local file of that name. On the other hand, wfFindFile will return the appropriate (possibly foreign) file for that name or false if none exists.

In almost all cases you would probably want the wfFindFile behavior and not wfLocalFile().
