[edit] Purpose

Provides parser functions #cc and #ccd for controlling the conditional inclusion of pages.

[edit] Features

  • Secure:
    • The user must have the read right to the target pages (i.e. page_true and page_false)
  • Dynamic
  • Flexible comparaison mechanism

[edit] Usage

[edit] #cc

  • {{#cc:page_true|condition|comparator|page_false}}
    • Where page_true corresponds the to the page to include when condition==comparator
    • Where page_false corresponds the to the page to include when condition!=comparator

[edit] #ccd

The following parser-function is really meant to be used in conjunction with Extension:ParserPhase2. The same parameters as #cc apply to #ccd. The use of ParserPhase2 enables the dynamic inclusion of page content whilst still preserving the virtues of parser-caching for both the source and target pages.

(($#ccd|page_true|condition|comparator|page_false$))

[edit] Examples

[edit] Example1

The text following the semicolon should read true : {{#cc:Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_true|1|1|Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_false}}

[edit] Example2

The text following the semicolon should read false : {{#cc:Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_true|0|1|Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_false}}

[edit] Dependancies

pear clear-cache

or use the force method:

pear upgrade --force mediawiki/ConditionalContent

[edit] Notes

  1. ↑ The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
    Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed.
  3. ↑ Modifications to LocalSettings.php is only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
