Re: [Semediawiki-user] subobjects - all subobjects grouped by page when retrieved with an #ask query

[Vezina, J. <Jam...@nr...>]

Thanks, but I'm just not getting it.

In my overall page template, I have
   <pre>
   {{Food
	...snip...
   }}
   {{#subobject:FavoriteFruit
   | myFruit
   | whyFav
   }}
   </pre>

Then in my FavoriteFood template (for the actual subobject)
   <pre>
   {{#subobject :
   | myFruit={{{myFruit|}}}
   | whyFav={{{whyFav|}}}
   }}
   </pre>
   Edit the page to see the template text.
   </noinclude><includeonly>{| class="wikitable"
   ! Fruit
   | [[MyFruit::{{{myFruit|}}}]]
   | [[WhyFav::{{{whyFav|}}}]]
   |}
   </includeonly>

So if I go to the overall page, each subobject appears in its own table at the bottom.  But if I do the following ASK query, it combines all column values (so if I have two subjects with the same value, the result just shows one in that column).

   {{#ask: [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}]] |?myFruit |?whyFav |format=table |mainlabel=-}}

It feels like I'm really close (with your help) but just don't have it exactly right.  Thanks for helping me make this work.

Jim

Hi James,

The secret is what you do in the {{FavoriteFruite}} template. You are talking about subobjects as if they are created on the page itself, but that is not the case. Probably you have something like [[myFruit::{{{myFruit|}}}]] [[whyFav::{{{whyFav|}}}]] in your {{FavoriteFruite}} template, and this does result in what you describe, but not in what you want. 

To get what you want, you should have something like {{#subobject :
| myFruit={{{myFruit|}}}
| whyFav={{{whyFav|}}}
}}
in your {{FavoriteFruite}} template. Then each instance of 'FavoriteFruit' results in a subobject, which will show as separate rows in the table when you do the 'ask'.
