Topic on Extension talk:BedellPenDragon

With reference to this edit, I don't think the RefCallback hook exists yet. If memory serves, I tried modifying Extension:Cite's Cite_body.php to add that hook, but couldn't get it to do what I wanted, which was to cause <ref> and </ref> tags, and everything in between them, to render as blank when Extension:BedellPenDragon's BedellPenDragon::renderGetBpdProp was in the process of doing a $parser->recursiveTagParse() on the page_props.pp_value. My goal was to make it so that users could include references in those values, like this:

{{PageSummary|'''[[Non-monogamy]]''' is a blanket term which covers several types of [[interpersonal relationship]]s in which an individual forms multiple and simultaneous [[Human sexuality|sexual]] or [[Romantic love|romantic]] bonds.<ref>[http://www.cat-and-dragon.com/stef/poly/Labriola/nonmonog.html Are you open to an alternative lifestyle?]</ref> |This can be contrasted with its opposite, [[monogamy]], and yet may arise from the same [[Psychology of sexual monogamy|psychology]].<ref>[http://www.routledge.com/books/Understanding-Non-Monogamies-ISBN 978-0-415-80055-6 Barker, Langdridge. 2009. Understanding Non-Monogamies. Routledge]</ref> The term has been criticized as it may evoke to imply that monogamy is the norm and that any other way of relating is somehow a deviation of that norm.}}

without having Template:New articles at PolyWiki‎ do this (see the "non-monogamy" item):

For an explanation of Template:PageSummary and Template:New articles at PolyWiki‎, see Extension:BedellPenDragon#.22New_Pages.22_or_.22Did_You_Know.22_descriptions_via_metadata_from_the_pages_themselves_.28requires_RecentPages_extension.29. I've filed this glitch as bugzilla:56404. Thanks.

Right off the bat I see there's a problem here:

                        $wgBedellPenDragonDisableRef = true;
                        if ( $raw ) {
                                return $prop;
                        }
                        $parsed = $parser->recursiveTagParse ( $prop );
                        return $parsed;
                        $wgBedellPenDragonDisableRef = false;

It's going to be hard for it to make $wgBedellPenDragonDisableRef be false after it's already returned from the function; the order of those last two lines should be reversed. I'll keep playing around with it.

Well, admittedly I just looked at the calls to hooks within the code and added the RefCallback to the extension's infobox. I did not investigate further into this. Since quite a number of hooks do not seem to be documented on this wiki, the absence of it does not provide certainty in this respect. However, I am sorry in case I have caused confusion here.

Oh, it's no big deal. Maybe before too long, it will exist. Perhaps if I'm going to post code that has hook functions that don't work, I should put a comment indicating that next time; then there won't be confusion. Probably no one else stumbled upon the page and got confused anyway; it's kind of an obscure extension.

Fixed

See gerrit:92857

Oh wait, no, it's not fixed.

Fixed

Okay, now it's fixed by the adding of BedellPenDragon::stripRefTags(). It turns out that even disabling Cite entirely didn't solve the problem.
