Hooks used ArticleViewHeader

The AutoHeader extension calls the Model:AutoHeader on top of each page of the wiki.

It was initially intended to print a subpage tree inside an infobox on each page (using namespace filtering to not submerge pages that do not need it)

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called AutoHeader in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'AutoHeader' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

You only need to implement the Model:AutoHeader, and it will be automatically included of the top of each page.

See the examples bellow to see how to filter on which set of pages the auto-header is effectively included, or to see an example of usage of this extension.

Examples

Filter by namespace

The following code can be used inside the Model:AutoHeader template to only print the auto-header on a specific namespace

{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|JdR|{{Model:JdR:AutoHeader}}|}}

As you can see, this is a simple conditional statement that check the namespace's name.

Example of usage

The following code what the first intention of the implementation of this extension: it includes an Infobox printing the subpage tree using Extension:SubPageList3.

{{Infobox 
| bodystyle = background:#1f2845; color:#e8effc; text-align:left; width:400px;
| datastyle = background:#171e33; color:#e8effc; text-align:left;
| headerstyle = background:#1f2845; color:#e8effc;
| header1 = [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]
| data2 = <splist parent="{{NAMESPACE}}:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}" showparent=no liststyle=unordered />
}}
