The Model extension brings "M" from MVC pattern into MediaWiki.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Model in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php :

  require_once "$IP/extensions/Model/Model.php";
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

Very simple and lightweight thing. Model allows you use model-objects over Mediawiki DatabaseBase class.

With Model you can focus on work with objects, not SQL-queries.

$user = new Model_User();
$user->password = '1234';
$user->save();

To start using Model:

• include it in LocalSettings.php
• create model classes based on class Model with your model description
• create proper database tables
• use models in your code.
