Thread:Project:Support desk/Dynamic header image/reply (3)

Cavila, My extension HeadersFooters inserts a header/footer into the text of an article before it is parsed. The idea is that you can also insert wikitext and most importantly things like the references tag for cite and it will work. Unfortunately MW is not made to insert text only for the display (and not for edit) at that point, so things are very buggy as I find new cases when editing or saving the text adds the header/footer into the actual article. Once I work them all out, I'll consider it in the beta stage. An extension that doesn't depend on the content of the article would be much simpler, and could be done post-article processing. I'm not sure if the old HeaderFooter extension did this or not, it's certainly more error proof but means that your header/footer has to be free standing (you can't use a cite tag, there are no known citations to list!) I don't see progress being made quickly on my extension but I'm committed to continuing the work as I learn more about MW.
