Hi there :-)
- My main user page is at OrganicDesign:Nad
Here's some useful MediaWiki related code snippets I've accumulated from writing extensions: OrganicDesign:MediaWiki code snippets
[edit] Extensions I've made |
|
| - A simple to implement security extension | |
| - Allows dynamic menus and tree-views to be made with bullet-list syntax | |
| - Shows how to add new built in variables | |
| - Dynamically adds a new hook to intercept database row requests | |
| - A taghook which allows ActionScript to render as an embedded SWF movie. | |
| - Using normal wikitext articles to define skin content and layout | |
| - Adds a hook called "CategoryHook" which allows rules-based categorisation, adds a parser-function for categorisation and adds a parser-function for checking if the current title is a member of a given category | |
| - Makes recent-changes and watchlists render in nice columns for easier reading, see this example | |
| - a very simple calendar extension which renders a table of all the months in the year with each day being a wiki article | |
| - adds a new parser function called #when which expands to easily queryable time categorisation | |
| - Allows mass deletion of articles by DPL query (based on Extension:Nuke by Brion Vibber | |
| - Manage the InterWiki list from a file | |
| - Logs usage of the search box and allows reporting of keyword totals during given time periods | |
| - Send fully rendered articles with embedded CSS to users, groups or contact lists | |
| - Allows emails to be sent to and appended to articles in the wiki using pagename@your-wiki-domain | |
| - A parser-function for adding CSS's to articles | |
| - Divides wiki into private and public by domain name, but allows unrestricted access to articles in a public category. | |
| - Formats and sends posted forms to email recipients | |
| - Loads Javascript files from selected files or directories without duplication | |
| - Allows a list of currently active users to be embedded into a page using a template | |
| - Creates a new MediaWiki log for user logins and logout events | |
| - Allows articles containing XML to be returned as raw XML with associated XSLT applied if required | |
| - A template which can be added to an article to make it synchronise with a file | |
| - Add a message to newly created user's talk pages | |
[edit] Current Development |
|
| - Allow articles to be held at a particular revision until subsequent edits are authorised by a user with sufficient permissions | |
| - Allows dynamic content areas called tags which can be switched between pre-selected states by clicking. The states can contain normal content such as images and categorisation links | |
| - A set of simple mechanisms for making and processing forms | |
| - Allows dynamic tree-views to be made with bullet-list syntax | |
| - Use simple template-syntax to create live portlets that update dynamically without the need for polling | |
| - Composes a book from articles in a category and exports as a PDF file | |
| - Using normal wikitext articles to define skin content and layout | |
| - Create packages of templates and other articles from remote wiki's. The resulting packages are PHP files which can be added or removed like a normal extension without affecting the database. | |
| - Allow MediaWiki installations to store content in an SQLite database instead of MySQL, and to run as a daemon independently of a web-server. | |
[edit] On the back burner |
|
| - A parser function which works like a template but the content is in a moveable panel which floats over the page instead of embedding in the page. | |
| - A special page for backing up and restoring multiple wikis on a server | |
[edit] Obslolete or Abandoned |
|
| - A MediaWiki hack giving XML properties to articles | |
| - try Extension:Pdf Book and/or Extension:Pdf Export instead | |
| - Allows expandable/collapsable tables to be created similar to WikiNews | |
| - Create links which control visibility of areas by CSS class | |
| - Replaced with Extension:TreeAndMenu | |
