Is there a way for me to put the first paragraph in another page? It would be kinda like you see on blogs where the first part of the article is available, and then you click the MORE. . . link to read the rest of the article. Does this make sense? Thanks, JSR/

Why couldn't you just do it manually? Cut and paste para one and change the link. Say the article you want to have in full is Dog Sitting. So have your first para on, say, your Main Page as blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbla hb l ahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbl ahblahblahblahblahblah blahblahblah blahblahblah blahblahblah blahblahblah [[Dog Sitting|...click here to read more.]] ?? ----- Original Message ----- From: Josiah Ritchie To: mediawiki-l(a)wikimedia.org Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 1:50 PM Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Part of a page in another page Is there a way for me to put the first paragraph in another page?

I guess the idea was to have this done _automatically_ like an mouseover title that displays the fist paragraph of the linked article. best wishes, tels -- Signed on Sat Feb 18 00:11:44 2006 with key 0x93B84C15.

Hello Josiah, I'm pretty sure this could be achieved through a little extension. Tell us more how it would work. *if it is the first paragraph, then there is maybe three titles included...wouldn't you like better when you call a paragraph "abstract" and this resumé is included in other page *do you want to call the abstract, page by page, or a lot of them: just the page abc or all the page linking to the current page. Beware in any case on the performance issues of page loading. François Josiah Ritchie wrote:

I'd like to call several abstracts to a front page. This would somewhat emualate a newspaper where you would read a certain amount of an article on the front to get you hooked and then it would take you to the full articly via a link at the bottom. However, on the front page you'd have the option of a number of articles in a number of subjects to catch the eye. Ideally, I'm dreaming here, I'd be calling a certain number of words to the front page. Maybe it could be an extension with syntax like [[PageName:##]] where ## indicates the number of words or paragraphs. To get real fancy ##w or ##p to indicate words or paragraphs respectively. Also, I'd not expect a link to the full article to be automatically created at the end because I'd want to handle that myself using custom text. The reason I don't want to do this manually is because it seems to defeat the purpose of a wiki if I have to change it in 2 places when I make changes, though that is probably how we will accomplish this for now. Thanks, JSR/

Another solution, which may or may not meet your needs is to use <noinclude></noinclude> around the portion of the page which you do NOT want to include on the front page. If you then include the whole page, only that portion not within those tags will be displayed on the front page, but when viewing the page directly, you'll see everything.

To add to my reply, you could also create a template, perhaps called "abstract", and call it from the main page like this: {{abstract|page title here}} The page "Template:Abstract" might contain something like this:  == [[$1]] ==  {{:$1}}  <div align="right" class="noprint"> '''[[$1|Read more...]]''' </div> Tim -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Tim Doyle Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 10:20 AM To: 'MediaWiki announcements and site admin list' Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Part of a page in another page Another solution, which may or may not meet your needs is to use <noinclude></noinclude> around the portion of the page which you do NOT want to include on the front page.

may be, simply, create a special title ("Abstract"). and make a call to the page that copy only the abstract sub paragraph (as if somebody wants to edit abstract) this should use standard calls? {{abstract|<page name>}} would insert the abstract. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

I'll have to play with that and see how it works. I can't say I understand exactly what is happening. :-) It sounds like it may fit the need just right. Thanks, JSR/
