Re: [Semediawiki-user] Data Transfer not properly parcing predefined entities

[Armstrong, C. P. <cpa...@li...>]

I just realized that the version of Data Transfer that ships with Semantic Media Wiki Bundle is one revision old.  Updated the Data Import extension and this problem went away.

Subject: Data Transfer not properly parcing predefined entities

I am trying to use the Data Transfer extension to import properties and pages that contain the "&" character.  This is replaced by "&" by Special:ViewXML so I have emulated this in my input file.

Pages are properly created, for example:

<Page Title="VEN_8086&amp;DEV_292D&amp;SUBSYS_02331028&amp;REV_03">
                <Template Name="Device">
                                <Field Name="Hardware ID">PCI\VEN_8086&amp;DEV_292D&amp;SUBSYS_02331028&amp;REV_03</Field>
                                <Field Name="Device Description">Intel(R) ICH9M/M-E 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 - 292D</Field>
                                <Field Name="Is Device Class">DeviceClass 4d36e96a-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318</Field>
                                <Field Name="Uses Driver">ich9id2.inf v.8.6.1.1001</Field>
                </Template>
</Page>

The page is created and the title is correct (VEN 8086&DEV 292D&SUBSYS 02331028&REV 03), but the Hardware ID field is incorrect.

{{Device
|Hardware ID=REV_03
|Device Description=Intel(R) ICH9M/M-E 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 - 292D
|Is Device Class=DeviceClass 4d36e96a-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318
|Uses Driver=ich9id2.inf v.8.6.1.1001
}}

Is there something I should be doing so that these import properly?  Escaping characters or something?
