Re: [Semediawiki-user] Adding queries to the sidebar

From: Philipp Zaltenbach <zaltenbach@on...> - 2009-08-25 15:34

Hi Martin,

the page MediaWiki:Sidebar accepts only a restricted set of elements, basically Headings (marked with *) and Links (marked with **). What type of links are allowed is described here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Links

For the dynamic population of your navigation pane, I recommend using the semantic treeview extension: http://smwforum.ontoprise.com/smwforum/index.php/Help:TreeView_Extension

Regards,
Philipp

 
Hi,


You should make a page containing that query, and have the sidebar link to that.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way to include links to the categories of my wiki into
the sidebar by using an ask query.

When I add the following query to MediaWiki:Sidebar, the links to the
categories are all invalid:

* TOOLBOX
* LANGUAGES
* Categories
{{ #ask: [[:Category:+]]
|format=template
|template=Querytree
}}

where the template 'Querytree' looks like:

<includeonly>
** {{{1}}}
</includeonly>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Martin

I was able to duplicate the problem.  I made these changes:

To the query:
{{#ask: [[:Category:+]]|format=template|template=Querytree|link=none}}

To the template:
<includeonly>
**{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}
</includeonly>

Jennifer,

 

Thanks a lot, your solution did the trick. Do you happen to know how to remove the namespace "Category:" from the links in the sidebar. Anyway, thanks again for your help.

Martin,

I'm glad that worked for you.

To remove the Category: from the links, you can edit the Querytree template as such:

<includeonly>
**{{{1}}}|{{#replace:{{{1}}}|Category:|}}
</includeonly>

For this to work, however, you'll need to have the StringFunctions extension installed.
You can find that extension here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctions.
