Extension talk:CategoryHook

I'm having trouble with this extension. I created two category hooks for my wiki. When a page qualifies for both, it does not seem to add to the category correctly. The categories show up at the bottom of the page as edit links (despite the fact that they do have content in them) and the category itself says 0 articles.
 * Can you show me the code so I can see what you're trying to do? --Nad 08:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

User-friendliness
Is there an easier way to manage auto-categorization than having to dork with PHP files? I really hate dealing with them. A proper control panel special page should be created for this... -Eep² 22:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I actually made this for the ability to use curly-brace syntax for categorisation (so that non-wikitext articles like scripts can still use categorisation) not for the auto-categorisation feature, but eventually I would like to make a better interface for categorisation rules. --Nad 22:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, well, do you know of an easy way to have auto-categorization for, say, namespaces at least? So, like:


 * ...etc, preferably configurable of what the category name is (like for singular/plural at least). -Eep² 00:21, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You can use DPL to query by namespace and render the results in category format --Nad 01:16, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Er, huh? That's not what I'm asking. I want created articles to automatically be categorized relative to what their namespace is. DPL just lists things in categories (etc)--and it's not very user-friendly. Ideally, a GUI to enter auto-categorization rules without having to dork with PHP; akin to matching rules and the category such matches should be assigned to, preferably calling up existing categories (via MW:Extension:CategoryTree, for example) and having a radio button next to each one in order to visually select it instead of text (hence the graphical UI part). -Eep² 02:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * If you want to avoid editing files you can make the category hook run a php article which you make only accessible by sysop and keep your php categorisation code in. However, to DPL can achieve the same thing by creating articles which behave like a category page but contain the result of a query, for example, see Articles in Category namespace which dynamically contains all the current articles in the "Category" namespace. DPL is the main reason I didn't really end up using the categorisation rules. --Nad 04:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, now we're back to the DPL user-unfriendliness issue if I'm going to have to use DPL throughout my entire site in order to get what I want... Is there at least a list of common queries (like, at least to simulate existing MediaWiki functions)? -Eep² 05:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
