Extension for a Mediawiki special page to list filtered list items of wiki pages.
About
editThe ListItemFilter extension adds a special page Special:ListItemFilter to your MediaWiki, it takes the name of a wiki page as subpage and a list of keywords as filter arguments. Special page usage examples:
Example output:
| Extension Usage | Result Explanation |
|---|---|
| http://mediawiki.example.com/wiki/Special:ListItemFilter/SomeWikiPage?k=URGENT:,IMPORTANT: | Link to a Mediawiki special page with all list items containing "URGENT:" or "IMPORTANT:" from the wiki page SomeWikiPage. |
{{Special:ListItemFilter/SomeWikiPage?k=URGENT:,IMPORTANT:}}
|
Usage for template inclusion from within the SomeWikiPage wiki page. Provided such list items exist in the SomeWikiPage page, this is expands into:
|
Usage
editThe URL syntax and the template syntax to use the ListItemFilter special page are as follows:
<SpecialPageURL> / <PAGENAME> ?k= <KEYWORD> [,<KEYWORD>]
{{Special:ListItemFilter/ <PAGENAME> ?k= <KEYWORD> [,<KEYWORD>] }}
So, if the Wiki is located at mediawiki.example.com/wiki and we need all list items containing "fruits" of the "Shopping List" wiki page, we would use:
http://mediawiki.example.com/wiki/Special:ListItemFilter/Shopping_List?k=fruits {{Special:ListItemFilter/Shopping_List?k=fruits}}
Download & Installation
editCheck out the source code from the GitHub repository into your Mediawiki extensions directory, example:
cd $IP/extensions/Mapsources/ git clone git://github.com/tim-janik/ListItemFilter.git
To install and use this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:
# Special:ListItemFilter extension
require_once ("$IP/extensions/ListItemFilter/setup.php");
Note that it makes sense to have php5-tidy installed for this extension. For non-trivial list items, Tidy is used by the extension to validate and produce correct HTML output. On Debian like systems, this can be done with:
apt-get install php5-tidy
