[edit] Control Structure Functions Broken on 1.12alpha

See Extension_talk:Control Structure Functions, it's broken on 1.12alpha. Any ideas? Elliottcable 21:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I won't know until I get a development environment with 1.12alpha running. However, I'm fairly certain Extension:Character Escapes (and therefore Control Structure Functions) is obsolete for that version. They've changed the way the preprocessor works so escaping is no longer needed. Unless the loop functions are need, the latest version of meta:Help:ParserFunctions under 1.12alpha does the same thing without the need for character escapes (with a possible exception of the {{#switch}} function). As for loop functions, I plan on putting out one that takes advantage of the new preprocessor. —Sledged (talk) 22:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

That's WAY sick. I'll let you know how it works for us - headed out to install it now! Elliottcable 04:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Works great! [-: Elliottcable 06:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Excellent! Glad to know it works. —Sledged (talk) 01:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Loops with MediaWiki: 1.10.1 ?

How can I have Loops with MediaWiki: 1.10.1 ? Can I add some extension or modify only a few files to get this functionality on my wiki? --Novice 00:06, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

LoopFunctions or Control Structure Functions is what you want. The former is very limited. The latter requires special syntax and another extionsion (Character Escapes). —Sledged (talk) 14:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Addendum: I haven't tested Control Structure Functions on 1.10, so it might not work. —Sledged (talk) 14:40, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
