Hi, I may not ask this question correctly, but please meet me half-way. I wish to modify
the "monobook.php" file at the line which renders the top page title into the
"firstHeading" portion of the page. The php syntax is:
<?php $this->text('title') ?>
and it provides the page title at the top of the wiki entry. I wish to get it to provide
the wikidb's pages table's "pageid" number as part of the title.
Something like this:
"PageID:#7654, My Page Title"
where pageid=7654 and
pagetitle="My Page Title"
Based of a recomendation from an earlier post (thanks Rob!), I tried to add the following
php code to the top of the "monobook.php" file:
global $wgTitle;
$id = $wgTitle->getArticleId();
and then modified the firstHeading code as:
PageID:#<?php $ID ?>, <?php $this->text('title') ?>
but this didn't work and it crashed the page such that it wouldn't even render at
all (just a blank white page with no error message).
I have 3 questions:
Q1 - Why didn't it work?
Q2 - What do do i need to do to get it to work.
Q3 - where is the "$this" class described so that I can see what page
information i have available (I'm asking for a link please).
thanks,
- rich (revansx)
