[Mediawiki-l] Checking whether a page existing or not

[Jack Eapen C]

Hmm.. Unluckily I'm not a programmer. I thought my requirement is
simple.

In my extension I want to display the output of a function only while
editing existing pages.
Something like 

If ($articleId !=" ") {

Myfunction

}
I suppose if the currently editing page is a new one, it still don't hv
an ID

Regards,
 
Jack

getArticleID() is not a static member function. It must be called from
an object.
You can call it from $wgParser->getArticleID() but *it's not guaranteed
to work*. You should use the parser object which is being passed to your
extension.
