Re: [Semediawiki-user] #ask with template fields

[trueskew <tru...@gm...>]

Thanks for the reply Patrick.  I gave it a try, but in this case,  

<!-- [sample 1] -->
{{Car_query
|vMake=[[Has Make::{{{Make|}}}]]
|vModel=[[Has Model::{{{Model|}}}]]
|vYear=[[Has Year::{{{Year|}}}]]
}}

still ended up acting like vMake, vModel, and vYear were empty.  I
hard-coded it to

{{Car_query
|vMake=Honda
|vModel=Accord
|vYear=2000
}}

as you had listed, and that worked.  And that's consistent with what I'm
seeing.  I've got a page that uses a template and has a list of property
values, and the template has the query, so I'm essentially doing the same
thing already.  I probably should have mentioned that originally.

So it's still the same problem, but phrased this way: How can I include an
inline query in a template and use variables passed to the template like
[sample 1] above?

Hi,

having

{{#ask:[[Category:Car]]
[[Has Make::{{{Make|}}}]]
[[Has Model::{{{Model|}}}]]
[[Has Year::{{{Year|}}}]]
...
}}

in a Template:Car_query and calling the template like

{{Car_query
|Make=Honda
|Model=Accord
|Year=2000
...
}}

will definitely give you all pages that have [[Has Make::Honda]], [[Has
Model::Accord]] and [[Has Year::2000]] in them.

Patrick.
