Installation [edit]
- Download LandingPage.php and LandingPage.i18n.php, and save them in extensions/LandingPage directory on your wiki.
- Insert this line in the LocalSettings.php file:
include_once('extensions/LandingPage/LandingPage.php');
Usage [edit]
- {{LANDINGPAGE
- [page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the final landing page.
- {{LANDINGSUBPAGE
- [page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the subpage name of the final landing page.
- {{LANDINGPREFIXED
- [page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the prefixed name of the landing page.
- {{LANDINGUSER
- [page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the user name of the final landing page, reports error if the final page is not a user page.
- {{LANDINGREALUSER
- [page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the real user name of final landing page, reports error if the final page is not a user page.
If the name of the parser function is prepended with "LINK", then a link to the page is created instead of the name. The alternate text will not be transformed into a link.
One single level of redirects will be traversed, not more, and it is legal to point directly to the final page. This makes the parser functions somewhat fail proof in a scenario where pages moves around.
Examples [edit]
Assume there is a redirect [[worker]] pointing to the user page [[User:FBar]], with this user having a realname of "Foo Bar".
- LANDINGPAGE
{{LANDINGPAGE:worker}} → FBar
- LANDINGPAGE
{{LINKLANDINGPAGE:worker}} → [[worker|FBar]]
- LANDINGREALUSER
{{LANDINGREALUSER:worker}} → Foo Bar
- LANDINGREALUSER
{{LINKLANDINGREALUSER:worker}} → [[worker|Foo Bar]]
