Purpose[edit]
Provides parser functions #cc and #ccd for controlling the conditional inclusion of pages.
Features[edit]
- Secure:
- The user must have the read right to the target pages (i.e. page_true and page_false)
- Dynamic
- Integration with Extension:ParserPhase2
- Flexible comparaison mechanism
Usage[edit]
#cc[edit]
- {{#cc:page_true|condition|comparator|page_false}}
- Where page_true corresponds to the page to include when condition==comparator
- Where page_false corresponds to the page to include when condition!=comparator
#ccd[edit]
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.
(($#ccd|page_true|condition|comparator|page_false$))
Examples[edit]
- Assuming that the page Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_true contains the text true
- Assuming that the page Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_false contains the text false
Example1[edit]
The text following the semicolon should read true : {{#cc:Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_true|1|1|Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_false}}
Example2[edit]
The text following the semicolon should read false : {{#cc:Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_true|0|1|Extension:ConditionalContent_testpage_false}}
Dependancies[edit]
- StubManager extension
- ParserPhase2 is only required for #ccd.
Installation[edit]
See the Mediawiki Extension table entry "download" above.[1]
LocalSettings.php[edit]
Extension:ExtensionManager: See footnote[2]
- Add the following to LocalSettings.php, if the extension was downloaded from Jean-Lou Dupont's MediaWiki SVN directory (link in the download entry of the table above)[2]:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ConditionalContent/ConditionalContent.php" );
- Since this Extensions is depending on StubManager, add the line after the StubManager include, or else your Wiki won't work.

- ↑ The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
- ↑ 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. - ↑ Modifications to
LocalSettings.phpis only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
