Thread:Extension talk:CiteByDOI/Comments welcome/reply (2)

I'm using mediawiki version 1.15 - so this doesn't currently work for me. (As the hook you use is only in 1.16 onwards) Like the idea though!

I wondered if instead of replacing the text, you could instead cache a local set of data - in the way that the PubMed extension does (See the contents of the Pubmed function in Pubmed.php). This would enable you to only download the information associated with the DOI once, but then render this every time. This would mean that you could create an offical doi tag rather than the search and replace method you currently use.
