使用DB数据生成MediaWiki表

Question

I'm using MediaWiki. I need to create a dynamic table for some articles.

For instance, given a page called "Lupo", I need to query the DB, find the entry using the code "Lupo" (same value as the article title) and generate a table with some data provided by the query resultset.

I'm trying to do this using a parser function:

$parser->setFunctionHook('adetail', 'aFunc' );
:
function aFunc($parser, $name) {
    // do the query etc.
}

invoking the function in this way:

{{adetail:Lupo}}

Anyway I don't want to repeat the article title also in the parser function parameter. Is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

• If you are calling this parser function from a template, you can use the magic word FULLPAGENAME: {{adetail:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}. FULLPAGENAME will be substituted for the page name, wherever the template is used. {{PAGENAME}} does the same thing, but without the namespace prefix.

• If you always want the parser function to assume the current page, you can access it from your function aFunc like this:

  function aFunc($parser, $params) {
     $title = $parser->getTitle()->getPrefixedText();
     ...
  

• If you are looking for a way to create dynamic tables without having to hack together your own extensions, I would recommend having a look at Semantic MediaWiki.
