| As the SMW code API is not yet stable or well-documented, it appears that going directly to the database may be the best way to utilize SMW data.
| | * [[/code]]: SMW's code API |
| * [[/data]]: tables | | * [[/data]]: tables |
| ===parser functions===
| | * [[/markup]] |
| SMW also uses a few standard-form parser functions:
| |
| * [[smw:Help:Inline queries|#ask]] | |
| * #declare
| |
| * [[smw:Help:Adding tooltips|#info]]
| |
| * #set
| |
| * [[smw:Help:Recurring events|#set_recurring_event]]
| |
| * [[smw:Help:Inline queries#The_.23show_parser_function|#show]]
| |
| ===Notes===
| |
| * For MediaWiki deployments where initial characters in article titles are ''not'' automatically capitalized (the default is to capitalize them):
| |
| ** In #ask queries, the word "Category" is case-sensitive; <nowiki>[[category:...]]</nowiki> will not work.
| |
| * Special properties are also case-sensitive: e.g. <nowiki>[[Has type:string]]</nowiki> correctly references the special "Has type" property, but <nowiki>[[has type::string]]</nowiki> refers only to a non-special "has type" property.
| |
| | |
| ==Syntax==
| |
| SMW introduces a new syntactical structure of the form ''<nowiki>[[property name::property value]]</nowiki>'', which may optionally be written with a display parameter: ''<nowiki>[[property name::property value|display text]]</nowiki>''. Both of these formats cause the current page to be assigned the value <u>property name</u> with the value <u>property value</u>. The same value can be assigned to several properties with this syntax: ''<nowiki>[[property1 name::property2 name::value for both]]</nowiki>''.
| |
| | |
| To set a property without displaying anything, there are two alternative forms:
| |
| * ''<nowiki>[[property name::property value| ]]</nowiki>''
| |
| ** In this form, the space between the "|" and "]]" is required)
| |
| * ''<nowiki>{{#set:property name=property value}}</nowiki>''
| |
| ** This form allows brackets ("[" and "]") to be used in the property value; the other form does not.
