FillFromCustomSpecialPage for ListRedirects

[PChott]

I'm trying to get all ListRedirects and i'm having little problem.

I create request:  pl.FillFromCustomSpecialPage ("ListRedirects", 10);

and on pl (PageList) I get target pages, but i want to get Redirect pages. Any suggestion how can i do it?

Thx

That's a bug and it needs correction.

For now you can call:

pl.FillFromCustomSpecialPageEx("ListRedirects", 10);

(note "Ex" at the end of function name). That function will return PageList, where every odd page is redirect and every even page is target.

Thx for that info.

When i try with "Ex" i get error, that i think in not direktly conncted to this:

And YES a found '-' in comments of pages

I've just uploaded new beta version to CVS: http://dotnetwikibot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dotnetwikibot/framework/DotNetWikiBot.cs, it may help with that '-' exception. Please, tell me if it doesn't.

Yep. Uploaded once again tohttp://dotnetwikibot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dotnetwikibot/framework/DotNetWikiBot.cs.

Beware that there are some unconventional newline characters in the beginning of HTML pages on e-studij.si. This may pose a problem for some parsers, even for RSS. The usual cause of it are erroneous newline characters in the end of .php files after ?> tag. You should remove it, if you have edited some MediaWiki .php files there.

[PChott]

Thx. Now it does work.

BTW is method "IsRedirect" working in general?

Thx for notice about new lines. I'll try to find which file making that.

[CodeDriller]

Yes, I checked IsRedirect() function just a couple of days ago. Just don't forget to Load() the page before calling IsRedirect().
