User talk:Danwe

Hi Danwe -- saw your question in IRC but by the time I saw it you had left. I think this is what you're looking for: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_extensions#How_do_I_render_wikitext_in_my_extension.3F -- openbip


 * Thank you. But for some reason this won't work always. For example I try to execute a template with it and after adding/removing parameters or perhaps depending on the result it returns a void string instead of the templates value. Exactly the same template call above or after the function call returns the expected value... --Danwe 20:28, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Subpage Fun feedback
Hi Daniel,

Subpage Fun is a very useful extension as I'm using lots of subpages in part of my wiki. I've been using Extension:SubPageList but its features are quite limited. And DPL is of no use when dealing with subpages. I would like to see some features of Extension:SubPageFunctions in your extension, though, especially a feature to trim path names. Cheers, Frank --Nakohdo 20:02, 26 January 2011 (UTC)


 * You already have half the functionality of that function in Subpage Fun:  will return you the last 4 parts of the path for example. If you want some middle parts you could use #sub and #pos functions of Extension:StringFunctions and then #replace   with  . I don't like overloading the extension with all kind of parser functions for each possible use case. You can do a lot with other parser functions. Also RegexParserFunctions or Extension:ArrayExtension would do the trick very easily. Best you define a template for it. On the other hand, another parameter length and the possibility of a negative offset for   wouldn't harm either. If I have some time I might realize it. --Danwe 02:25, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * ^^ no, sorry, this doesn't really work. So I will think of something else, perhaps a  function. On the other hand, ArrayExtension would still do it. You would have to walk trough the array in the end and output it with:   --Danwe 02:44, 27 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, see Extension talk:Subpage Fun for a final solution. --Danwe 03:38, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
