[Mediawiki-l] automatic template

[Dave Sigafoos]

Jim is right .. 

'Changes to LocalSettings.php' shows this

require_once("$IP/extensions/Boilerplateselection/Boilerplateselection.php");
global $wgBoilerPlateAry;
$wgBoilerPlateAry = array('Sandbox' => 'Boilerplate');

Here, anytime the word 'Sandbox' is found in the article it will looke for a template called 'Boilerplate' and use that text as the seed.

Here is the one we are currently using .. 

# dsig   12jun07 rights overwritten - user cannot move page
require_once("extensions/boilerplateselection.php");
global $wgBoilerPlateAry;
$wgBoilerPlateAry = array('Technical' => 'TechnicalDesign', 'Scope' => 'Scope');

In this case when it finds the word 'Technical' it will use the template TechnicalDesign.  When it finds the word 'Scope' it will use the template 'Scope'.

Hope this clears it up.

Sorry about that.  I will update the document to be more clear.

This is really great. I needed that. Thanks. But it gives me some troubles, maybe because i'm not a php guy so i'm sure i'm doing it wrong somewhere.

I have implementet it like described in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BoilerplateSelection and I have made two templates in our MediaWiki:

Template:Boilerplate and Template:Serverskabelon (actually in Danish Skabelon:Boilerplate and Skabelon:Serverskabelon).

I have then modified the file Localsettings.php like this

$wgBoilerPlateAry = array('Sandbox' => 'Boilerplate', 'Sandbox' => 'Serverskabelon');

Which is probably where the problem is (however, even the content is just $wgBoilerPlateAry = array('Sandbox' => 'Serverskabelon'); it still have the content of the Template:Boilerplate, probably because this is default).

As I understand it, it is the title of the document that is used to determine the template. So I understand this as I will have to make an address like this http://MyWiki.Mysite.dk/MyWiki/index.php?title=Serverskabelon_mydocument&action=edit

But still every document I make contains the text from the standard Boilerplate

How exactly do I have to do to make it work, and (if i'm totally off track) how exactly do I get to select between the templates (examples is appreciated).

Boilerplate uses 1 *template* to stuff text into every new page

BoilerplateSelection uses the title of the article to determine the
*template* to stuff into the article.

Is there a way to put default text on every page so that every time
someone creates an article, the default text will already be in the
article?

any help appreciated
