Extension talk:DPL Page Name S/N Maker (using SemanticForms)

Help:KEB-Expression error: Unexpected < operator.
Im running mediawiki-1.20.2 and DynamicPageList, ParserFunctions, StringFunctions and Semantic Forms with the latest version of today. The first page is created ok, but the second reports the following error: The next serial number is Help:KEB-Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Any ideas what is wrong? /Regards Claes Lindvall

Template error
This template seems to be exactly what I need for a corporate wiki I'm developing, but when I added it it produced this error:

The next serial number is '''{{#pad: Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "{". '''

|5   |0    }}

I already had the following installed, so I expected that I could just copy the template and it would work.


 * Mediawiki 1.20.2
 * Semantic MediaWiki 1.8
 * Semantic Forms 2.5.2
 * DynamicPageList 2.01
 * String functions (no version listed, but presumably 2.0.3)

The documentation mentions a "special version StringFunctions extension", so maybe that's what I'm missing? Where can I download it? Any idea of what could be wrong?

Cheers.

 * Nevermind, I figured it out. Or rather, I determined that if I replace the  function with the   magic word, the errors all resolve and it works.

Expression error: Unexpected < operator.
I'm still working on getting this running on a corporate wiki, but while it worked perfectly for the first one, for any result higher than "00001" it keeps kicking out the error message Expression error: Unexpected < operator. This error isn't covered on the Parser Functions help page, but based on the documentation I assumed that it must be a stray  character or possibly a tag inside a function where tags aren't allowed. However, even when I remove all instances of the  character from the template (by eliminating the comments, the   tags, and the   tags), the error message persists.

Here is the text of the template, after I modified it to use the  magic word:

The next document number is 

Any idea what the problem is and/or how I can correct it? Thanks! ~ Michael Chidester (Contact) 15:15, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
