Let's say you have a movie wiki and movie articles are categorized like that:
-
[[Category:Action]]>> is in[[Category:Genres]] -
[[Category:Comedy]]>> is in[[Category:Genres]] -
[[Category:Bruce Willis]]>> is in[[Category:Actors]] -
[[Category:Will Smith]]>> is in[[Category:Actors]]
On that movie page I want to be able to use the categories for the json API. But by depending on their parent category type:
- Get the genre categories of the article and do stuff with them.
- Get the actor categories of the article and do stuff with them.
I want to output these in the Javascript vars in the DOM like this (preferably in the order as they're added on the article)
-
"wgCategoryTypeGroupGenres":["Action","Comedy"] -
"wgCategoryTypeGroupActors":["Bruce Willis","Will Smith"]
The parent category names are static and can be defined.
How the hell would I do that? I already have some code to grab the regular page categorization (regex on the article text before output > keeps the category order), but without checking the parent category of each.
It wouldn't make much sense to memcache the query on each page call I guess. Only if a further procedere is added on when a category page is edited.
