Um... wow. That's pretty amazing, to the extent that I understand it. :) Perhaps it makes sense to add a "tips and tricks" page type on the SMW community wiki (smw.referata.com), with an accompanying form and template, to handle tips such as this one, given that semantic-mediawiki.org will probably stay closed off for the foreseeable future; it might not even make sense to put tips like this on the SMW site in the first place, since it requires Semantic Forms (for #arraymap) in addition to just SMW, and it might be too esoteric for a general user's guide.
Conversely, you could just ask Markus or Denny for an account on semantic-mediawiki.org - they say they'll give one to anyone who asks. -Yaron On Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 4:27 PM, Rob Challen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you put this in a property page > > [[has type::page]] > {{#arraymap:{{#ask: [[Category:RANGE]]|format=list|link=none|sep=,}}|,| > @@|[[allows value::@@]]}} > > then it expands to define the range of that property as the members of > category RANGE, you could add more conditions to the #ask query to get > any more complex range definition. and you could have multiple queries > unioned together if you seperate them by commas {{#ask...query1}}, > {{#ask...query2}}.
