[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] Notes

[edit] Other Extensions From the same author

Consult User Jldupont's page.

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
