[Mediawiki-l] MW 1.9.1 - Version page blank?

Mon Feb 5 14:49:46 UTC 2007

I found that the error was an umlaut in the name of the author under the extension credits (I had installed the LoopFunctions extension by Carl Fürstenberg).  I don't know why this made the Version page blank.

Thanks,
Jen

did you install the google map extension, I noticed that enabling it makes
your version page blank. didn't check it in deep detail though as I don't
need the extension on my site.

cheers,
Peter

I think that would be rather extension not a template. Usually extensions
use <extension></extension> tags to perform given activity. Hooks specifies
details:
$wgParser->setHook( "absHTML", "renderHTML" );
In this case <absHTML></absHTML>

If you want to have a template that contains a parameter then just create a:
wiki/template:MyTemplate
and create content like this on your page:
{{{1}}}
Then if you want a wikipage to make use of it just write
{{MyTemplate|1="Some text"}}
More details here:

i have written several extensions, parser functions and templates already, so this was not my question

say i write a tag extension:
function qwfProcessMyTag($text, $argv, &$parser) {

}

now, if the user uses it in a template as:
<my-tag>
{{{1}}}
</my-tag>

then $text in the function will be {{{1}}}. this will be the case regardless if the template is viewed, or a page containing it. the reason is the parser doesn't replace variables inside tags.

i tried using the mArgStack variable, but apparently tags are evaluated before replaceVariables is called. so when my tag is processed, the arguments have not been set yet
