Is there any documentation on using the QueryPage class in an extension? I'd
like to create a special page with the QueryPage features but am running into
problems "hooking it up" to run. I don't see any QueryPage docs on
mediawiki.org or meta. (Or is there a more modern way to get a paging Special
Page?)
First I defined my subclass of QueryPage with some dummy methods:
class MyQueryPageClassName extends QueryPage {
function getName() { return 'My Query Page'; }
function getSQL() { return "select 1 as 'test'"; }
function formatResult() { return 'dummy result'; }
}
Then I hooked up my page with:
$wgHooks['wgQueryPages'][] = 'wfMyQueryPages';
function wfMtQueryPages(&$wgQueryPages) {
$wgQueryPages[] = array('MyQueryPageClassName', 'MyQueryPage');
return true;
}
At this point, the special page does not exist on the wiki. What else needs to
be done to make this work?
I looked at SpecialPopularpages.php and see a global function
wfSpecialPopularpages() at the end that looks necessary, but I don't see
anything that calls it in the code. How does this really work? I created my own
version but nothing seems to call it.
/**
* Constructor
*/
function wfMyQueryPage() {
list( $limit, $offset ) = wfCheckLimits();
$ppp = new MyQueryPageClassName();
return $ppp->doQuery( $offset, $limit );
}
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
DanB
