Extension talk:CreateRedirect/Archive 1

Create redirect from already existing page
Creates a redirect with an already existing page without any warning, feedback, or settings to change this behavior.

Error with 1.13
When I go to Special pages, it fails. I traced the error to line 43 in .body.php. The line should read

This fixes it for me.

i18n doesn't work
The i18n-file does only work in the list on Special:Specialpages, but not on Special:Createredirect.

The English messages in this form (CreateRedirect.body.php) seem to be hardcoded: function execute( $par ) { global $wgRequest, $wgOut, $wgTitle, $wgUser; // 1. Do some prep stuff. We call $this->setHeaders (a method of SpecialPage) for the page, and we also initialize $output, which will hold the text output to serve with the page. $this->setHeaders; $output = ""; // 2. Break from here: "crWrite" determines whether we're serving the form or we're performing the write routine. We send it along with the form on submission, so if we see a POST var "crWrite", then we've got form data to process; if it's not there, then we don't have form data to process, and we have to serve the form. if(!$wgRequest->getVal('crWrite')) { // Serve the form! // 1. Get the local URL for the "action" param, used by. This points the form back to this page (again), where if crWrite exists (which it does,) we process the submitted form. $action = $wgTitle->escapeLocalURL; $crTitle = $wgRequest->getText("crTitle"); // Also retrieve "crTitle". If this GET var is found, we autofill the "Redirect to:" field with that text. // 2. Start rendering the output! The output is entirely the form. It's all HTML, and may be self-explanatory. $output .= " Using the form below, you can create a redirect page or replace an existing page with a redirect. "; $output .= << END; $output .= << //<![CDATA[ document.redirectform.crOrigTitle.focus; //]]> END;

Does it allow dynamic redirects?
Will it allow me to create a dynamic redirect? Such as: To redirect the visitor to the correct section of my talk page (which I have decided to divide into quarters). -- ShoeMaker  ( Contributions &bull; Message )   17:06, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
