Haven’t taken a look to the new MediaWiki code. But the patch is rather small and it shouldn’t be really hard work to get something equivalent running.

I would also love a version of this which works with MediaWiki 1.10.0. Any ideas?

Sorry, in the above I forgot to include the extension tags in the template:
———————————————————– Template:IssuesList

*{{{Number}}}:
*{{{Accountable}}}:
*{{{Impact}}}:

Hi Bas!
You must be a genius to work this out mate.
I so much hope you can help me on this.
Bas!
Im running Mediawiki 1.10.1 and trying to get the following to work, and I cant find anything on this anywhere, so I turn to you in desperation.

Just wanted to know if you can use an extension as a template?

What im trying to do is the following….

We have an extension that we can use as follows:

* Number:
* Accountable:
* Impact:

So an example in a wiki page is:

* Number:1
* Accountable:Simon
* Impact:HIGH

The reason I want to place the extension stuff in a Template is to try and use a form (SemanticForm) where the parameters of the extension are on the form itself, and the user simply has to enter values for each one, instead of typing “*Number:1″ for example. Instead, a field on the form would be called “Number” with a textbox where they would type the number in. I cant for the life of me get this to work.

If I build the template like the following:

———————————————————– Template:IssuesList

*{{{Number}}}:
*{{{Accountable}}}:
*{{{Impact}}}:

This doesnt work.

Any help greatly appreciated Bas!

Simon

Hi,

The patch file was generated using the GNU diff tool which compared the old and the altered version. You can apply it by the GNU patch tool, or any other diff patch tool that supports that markup…

Either you made a typo when altering it by hand, or the version on which this patch applies is just too old.

You can find the GNU diff tools here: gnu.org/software/diffutills

If it’s a problem with the version I could take a look, and try to fix it.

Hi! I actually tried editing my parser.php… I figured out the way your document was set up and that the “+” meant to add that line and the numbers above the sections were the numbers that those lines should be on. However, when I made the edits, i got an error saying that it was expecting an “}” or something on line 3390. My 3390 says “class ParserOutput” only…

I’m currently running:
* MediaWiki: 1.5.2
* PHP: 4.3.11 (cgi-fcgi)
* MySQL: 4.0.24-max-log

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Hi! Just wondering how this patch can be installed? I’ve got a new wiki devoted to trails, and I can’t get the template to put the longitude or latitude into the awesome GoogleMap extension that I’m using.
