There should be some way to pass template parameters to parser hook extensions, Tim Starling changed some stuff in rev 1.489 of Parser.php to allow for this but reverted it in rev 1.498 because of some breakage with it. There are two ways to solve this, one would be to add a flag to Parser::setHook() that indicates that the extension being hooked returns wikitext, it could then return stuff like "[[{{{foo}}}]]" and have the Parser DWIM, the other way would be to bring something like the old hack back, the former would work for most cases but it would also be nice to access template parameters in hooks that don't return wikitext. == Relevant diffs: === Adding support cvs diff -u -r 1.488 -r 1.489 Parser.php r1=text&r2=text&diff_format=u">http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/includes/Parser.php?tr1=1.488&tr2=1.489&r1=text&r2=text&diff_format=u === Removing support cvs diff -u -r 1.497 -r 1.498 Parser.php r1=text&r2=text&diff_format=u">http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/includes/Parser.php?tr1=1.497&tr2=1.498&r1=text&r2=text&diff_format=u

I have a minimal change to MediaWiki 1.5.0 that lets me at least access the template args from my extension (which is all I currently need). It's a three-line change to includes/Parser.php: 107c107 < var $mOptions, $mTitle, $mOutputType, --- > var $mOptions, $mTitle, $mOutputType, $mTemplateArgs, 126a127 > $this->mTemplateArgs = array(); 2294a2296,2297 > # Store a copy of template args so extensions can use them. > $this->mTemplateArgs = $assocArgs; In my extension, I can now do: ... global $wgParser; $text = $wgParser->replaceVariables($input, $wgParser->mTemplateArgs); ... Any reason not to do this?
Created attachment 1423 [details] minimal patch to expose template args for use in extension callbacks, etc. With this patch, I can now do this from an extension: ... global $wgParser; $text = $wgParser->replaceVariables($input, $wgParser->mTemplateArgs); ...
Created attachment 1711 [details] Fix for 1.7-svn Same changes as #1423, but for 1.7-svn.
