Re: [MediaWiki-l] Escaping template parameter values
by George, Garrett J. (JSC-CB111)[SGT, INC]
I don't need any wiki parsing, the template is really just a way to have a data model for my extension to use and query using `ask` queries via semantic mediawiki.
Reasons it might not be working:
1. AI Comment is a subobject template and something in there is causing issues.
2. AI Comment is called within a template and that's causing parse problems.
This is my template for AI Comment
#
# (1) Create subobject of action item comment
#
-->{{#subobject:
|Comment author={{{Comment author|}}}
|Comment date={{{Comment date|}}}
|Comment text={{{Comment text|}}}
|Comment uuid={{{Comment uuid|}}}
}}<!--
#
# Display comment info in JSON
#
-->
{
"author": "{{{Comment author|}}}",
"date": "{{{Comment date|}}}",
"text": "{{{Comment text|}}}",
"uuid": "{{{Comment uuid|}}}"
}
Because I can't figure out how to properly query for all action items and their comments (two different templates) I was having AI Comment printout in JSON format to my Action Item template and then parsing that on the frontend.
