[Semediawiki-user] Problems with query result formats

[Sal Q. <sal...@gm...>]

I've got a Page X that I use to hold default values for other forms to use.
Data types that may be stored include text, internal pages, and external
links.  I use a form to maintain page X, and it has field entries like this:

 

   {{{field|Policy Link|size=65|input type=combobox|values from concept=
Policy Titles|autocomplete}}}

 

That works for all data types and displays them correctly using the template
that goes with Page X.

 

Form Y uses the Page X defaults, using fields like:

 

    {{{field| Policy Link|size=65|input type=combobox|values from concept=
Policy Titles|autocomplete|default={{#ask:[[ Page X]] |?Has Policy Link=
|mainlabel=- |link=none }} }}}

 

 

Here's what I'm seeing when creating a page using the Form Y:

 

1.  For http://www.anything.com, 

      Page X stores http://www.anything.com

      Form Y shows and eventually stores Http://www.anything.com.  

     That's a little annoying to look at, but fixable with a string check
and #replace.

 

2.  For http://www.anything.com/This_Is_The_Page, 

      Page X stores http://www.anything.com/This_Is_The_Page

      Form Y shows and eventually stores Http://www.anything.com/This Is The
Page

    I can't do a replace of space with _, because it may want to be %20.

 

3.  For http://www.anything.com/This%20One%20Too

      Page X stores  http://www.anything.com/This%20One%20Too

      Form Y shows and eventually stores Http://www.anything.com/This One
Too.  

     I can't do a replace of space with %20, because it may be an _.

 

I've tried setting Property:Has Policy Link as a page, a url, and text.
They had different effects, but none achieved a query that returned exactly
what was stored on Page X.  I tried using a template in the query for the
default value, but didn't find anything that would give me the result of
return the exact string found.

 

If you've dealt with this or have some suggestions on how to deal with it,
I'd appreciate hearing from you.  I'm running old stuff (MW 1.16 / SM 1.5.2
/ SF 2.4), perhaps that's the problem.  I plan on trying out the updated
WYSIWYG versions to see if they work well enough to let me update from my
currently working FCKEditor installation (that's why I'm running the old
stuff).

 

Thanks.
