Hello,
I would appreciate any help regarding inserting custom text into
articles.
The problem setting is as follows:
I am currently trying to create a wiki where each article is about a
specific entity (say, for example, a book). Above each article's body
content, I want to insert custom text (such as the author of the book,
the
retail price of the book, the publisher of the book, etc) in the form of
HTML. I do not want the users to be able to edit these custom text, and
thus I want to "inject" these text as the content of the page gets
loaded.
What would be the cleanest approach to solve this problem?
I have looked at the list of hooks available at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks,
but was unable to find any hook that satisfied my need. I have also tried
modifying the core code (the outputPage() method of the Skin class, for
example), but things got ugly pretty quickly, and it was hard to maintain
the code. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Naoki Orii
Technically while the 'BeforePageDisplay' was meant for metadata it still
should be run at a point that you can prepend/append to the bodytext. As
long as you don't care about action=render.
