I'm having trouble using the SQL2wiki
extension in a template.
Something seems to be goofy about the use of a parameter. The
parameter is not getting the value it is supposed to get, and the
MySQL error messages seem to indicate that one of the curly braces is
getting stripped off:
Here is the template with as simple a query as I could muster;
user_id
2 is a valid record:
? ? <noinclude>{{project
timelog1|2}}</noinclude>
? ? <includeonly><sql2wiki database="EcoReality">SELECT * FROM
mw_user WHERE user_id = {{{1}}}</sql2wiki></includeonly>
and here is what is produced, error messages in front of an empty
table:
> ? ? Warning: mysql_query() [<a
href='http://www.mysql.com/doc'>http://www.mysql.com/doc
> </a>]: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
> corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
> near '{{1}}}' at line 1 in [full path deleted]/mediawiki-1.13.3/
> extensions/SQL2Wiki.php on line 42

I have no experience with this extension, but aren't user_id's
strings? In that case, the {{{1}}} probably needs some quotes around
it.
Hi, Jean-Marc,
Thanks for that thought. I have already tried it.
When there are double or single quotes around the formal parameter, I
have no error message, but the parameter is not passed. It is as if an
empty string is passed, based on what is produced in the resulting
output.
(BTW: the user_id is an integer in the database, and when I run it
with quotes around the formal parameter, it returns results for
used_id = 0, no matter what is passed in as the actual parameter.)
