I was excited to leverage the template facility to map a complex process
using the graphviz (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GraphViz)
extension, which would then be included as a template on each page
created for a node in the process, then use {{SUBPAGENAMEE}} in the
template to automatically highlight where in the process graph this page
documents, a sort of "You are here".
But alas, it appears that parameters (e.g. {{SUBPAGENAME}}), Templates,
and ParserFunctions ({{#ifeq:...}}) are not interpreted within the
<graphviz> tags. I get a graphviz nodes named, literally, "Test",
"ifeq", and "SUBPAGENAMEE", using:
<graphviz>
digraph g {
Test {{ #ifeq: {{SUBPAGENAMEE}} | Test | [color="yellow"] }};
}
</graphviz>
Is there a way to get the template/extentions parser to mangle the
graphviz content before graphviz sees it? Is there an easier way to
achieve the goal above? I don't mind modifying the extension scripts,
or mediawiki, but with otherwise no experience in the code base, anyone
who could even point me in the right direction would be helpful.
