[Mediawiki-l] Numbered Headings

[trueskew]

The problem is that when the ParserAfterStrip() hook gets called, only the
text of the page is available, the template hasn't been expanded yet. Only
one hook is available (at least in MW 1.16) that allows a change to the
header option before it's too late after all templates have been processed,
and that's InternalParseBeforeLinks(). To get MagicNumberedHeadings to work,
edit MagicNumberedHeadings.php and make these changes:

... around line 52
- $wgHooks['ParserBeforeInternalParse'][] =
'MagicNumberedHeadingsParserBeforeInternalParse';
+ $wgHooks['InternalParseBeforeLinks'][] =
'MagicNumberedHeadingsInternalParseBeforeLinks';

... around line 90
- function MagicNumberedHeadingsParserBeforeInternalParse($parser, $text,
$stripState)
+ function MagicNumberedHeadingsInternalParseBeforeLinks($parser, $text,
$stripState)

This applies to a few other extensions I happened across while learning this
stuff, so if you're searching for "why doesn't it work in a template"
problems, take a look here too.
