[edit] Purpose

Provides a 'magic word' interface to retrieve 'preceeding' and 'succeeding' pages relative to a given page title.

[edit] Features

  • {{#pagebefore: [context]|[namespace]|[title]|[category] }}
  • {{#pageafter: [context]|[namespace]|[title]|[category] }}
  • {{#firstpage: [context]|[namespace]| [category]|[filtercurrent] }}
  • {{#lastpage: [context]|[namespace]| [category]|[filtercurrent] }}

Where:

  • 'context' is reserved for future use
  • 'namespace' denotes the canonical name of the namespace one wishes to act on
  • 'title' denotes the 'prefixedDBkey' (i.e. title name with underscores)
  • 'category' denotes the category name used for filtering titles
  • 'filtercurrent' if the current title == last/first page, filter if 'yes'
    • i.e. if the page where the parser function is used also happens to be the last AND/OR first of the set, then it will be filtered OUT (not returned). If one wishes to have for return value the title in question anyways, then one must set filtercurrent to no.

[edit] Dependancy



[edit] Installation

See the Mediawiki Extension table entry "download" above.[1]

[edit] LocalSettings.php

Extension:ExtensionManager: See footnote[2]

require_once( "$IP/extensions/PageAfterAndBefore/PageAfterAndBefore.php" );

[edit] PEAR

PEAR is a repository of software code.

pear channel-discover mediawiki.googlecode.com/svn
  • Install extension through PEAR:
pear install mediawiki/PageAfterAndBefore
  • Add the following to LocalSettings.php[2][3]:
require 'MediaWiki/PageAfterAndBefore/PageAfterAndBefore.php';

[edit] Upgrades through PEAR

Sometimes, it is necessary to clear PEAR's cache in order to perform upgrades.

pear clear-cache

or use the force method:

pear upgrade --force mediawiki/PageAfterAndBefore

[edit] PEAR Web Frontend

For easier remote package management, PEAR Frontend WEB can be installed. Installation notes can be found here. An example of the WEB frontend is available here.

[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
