[Mediawiki-l] Extension function called twice on edit?

[Muzaffer Ozakca]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a rss feed aggregator in an extension function. I'm
getting results now but there's a small problem (there's another one that I
couldn't get to, yet). Extension functions are being called twice on save. I
checked this by outputting a line to a debug log. Down below is a small
excerpt from the log:

If you look through it, there are two "Call in extension" lines, one after
submitting the page and one for viewing the updated page. Is this normal?

There was a talk about serving dynamic content from within Mediawiki
recently, after this I will probably have to deal with caching, I know. But
for now, I want to postpone it. I'm using 1.4beta6. By the way, I guess
there was a change in caching between 1.3 and 1.4. I was able to refresh
caches by doing a hard refresh from the browser to get updated pages in
1.3.10 but not in 1.4. I might go back to 1.3 if that's the case. Anyone
have an idea?

Thanks!
