Parsing wiki test in an extension

Post #1 of 5 (503 views)

I'm writing an extension and so far everything is going fine except that
my extension produces wiki text and that is not parsed but included
as-is into the wiki.

I really need to figure out a way to get this text parsed as it includes
links to other pages, and in some cases the linked-to pages don't exist
yet so having the links in a different colour is very useful.

Is there a simple to way to have my text parsed? Or at the very least
have the links parsed?

I've tried invoking Parser.php myself on the output I produce but
results in errors, usually of the sort "Call to a member function on a
non-object ".

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't know if this is correct or even supposed to work but I've gotten
my extension to work (i.e. process wiki text) using the following:

function myExtension($input) {
global $wgParser;
//So some work and assign the result to $output
$output = $wgParser->internalParse($output, true);
return $output;
}

did you test the speed, is there a significant delay - maybe the procedures
call itselfs recoursivly? (does $wgParser->internalParse($output, true);
call again your extension?)

Well, in my case - I tried an extension that allows certain formatting
(including color) your solution breaks part of the style-command (the
Fontsize is ignored, though simple style-tags are processed).

<?php
$wgExtensionFunctions[] = "wfH1Ext";

function wfH1Ext() {
global $wgParser;
$wgParser->setHook( "HR1", "HR1Formatter" );
}

// The callback function for converting the input text to HTML output
function HR1Formatter( $input )
{global $wgParser;

$output = "<div
style='font-size:300%;color:#FFA500;background-color:#F8F8FF;
align:center;'><b>".$input."</b></div>";
//$output = $wgParser->internalParse($output, true);
return $output;
}
?>

This hack above seems to work i.e. I get $input parsed when I put wikitext
within a custom tag. I wonder if it's going to break something else
somewhere.
