Hi, I wanted to announce that a new version of the External Data extension, 0.5, has been released. Normally I don't announce new versions on this list, especially not of extensions that don't directly rely on Semantic MediaWiki, but this version change affects some core functionality so I thought it was important. The extension now supports, in addition to the "CSV" format, a "CSV with header" format, which is the same thing but includes a header row at the top listing the column names (in real life, unfortunately, the term "CSV" is used for both formats interchangeably). Also, the page "Special:GetData", which serves as an "instant API" for getting the data from a wiki page in CSV format, now produces output in the new "CSV with header" format; so any existing use of the GetData page will break if you upgrade your version of External Data, until you change the call. For more information, and to download the new version, you can go here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:External_Data -Yaron |

Perfect ! Could it mean that 'CSV with Header' in on the way as an output to #ask as well ?

I don't believe there are any such plans, but that's a good idea... probably the best way to do it would be to reuse the "headers=hide" and "headers=show" options of the 'table' format. -Yaron On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 4:49 PM, Laurent Alquier <la...@al...> wrote: > Perfect ! > Could it mean that 'CSV with Header' in on the way as an output to #ask as > well ?
