Re: [MediaWiki-l] Lua: Maintain state between invokes?

Hi, I am struggling with Lua. Is there a way to somehow maintain the state of the page building between calls to #invoke? A kind of page-wide variable mechanism or something like that? Problem: I have what is basically a bugtracker where each bug is described on a wiki page. For each state change of the bug (new, confirmed, fixed, verified, closed) I add a call to a template to the page text. The problem is, that the text generated by the template depends on both the origin and the target state. Until now I used the variables extension to keep track of the current state. Now I want to convert to Lua. Apart from the fact that it is clearly not desirable to mix the use of the variables extension and Lua, it is also impossible: When Scribunto's #invoke is called, parser functions are already parsed. So, what is the solution? Cheers, Stephan
