Re: [Semediawiki-user] help needed - create a query (Jason Zou)

[Jason Z. <jas...@gm...>]

Thanks Rob,

Before I asked for help, I have tried the arraymap with the exact syntax as
you mentioned. It does not work. The parser interprets the template in its
own order. I tried the arrayamptemplate a moment ago. All I got is the
following information:

The part "|" of the query was not understood. Results might not be as
expected. The part "?Label" of the query was not understood. Results might
not be as expected. The part "|" of the query was not understood. Results
might not be as expected. The part "?Label1" of the query was not
understood. Results might not be as expected. The part "|" of the query was
not understood. Results might not be as expected. The part "?Label2" of the
query was not understood. Results might not be as expected.

It is as same as I got while using arraymap.
