Functions

• {{#SMWParent:}} Show the parent / ancestor pages

• {{#SMWChildren:}} Show the children / descendant pages

Usage

• {{#SMWParent:FULLPAGENAME|PARENT_TYPE/PARENT_LEVEL|link}}

Params:

• If FULLPAGENAME is skipped, current page is used
• PARENT_TYPE to retrieve, or alternately up to which level PARENT_LEVEL to reach
• If input is 'link', resulting pages are shown as links instead of as text.

API

An API endpoint is available. action=smwparent.

• title: fullpage title of page in the wiki
• type: the type of pages to be retrieved (according to a given properties)
• link_properties: properties used for linking between pages
• type_properties: properties used for defining the types. If 'Categories', MediaWiki categories are also used.
• print_properties: properties to be printed and appended to the nodes.

Parameters and default values

You can override these values by modifying LocalSettings.php below extension requirement.

$wgSMWParentlimit = 100; // Limit of pages to transverse

$wgSMWParentTypeProperty = array("Is_Type"); // Defines the SMW Property that assigns a particular type to a page

$wgSMWParentdefault = "Request"; // Default type of a page

$wgSMWChildrendefault = "File"; // Default type of a file

$wgSMWParentProps = array('Comes_from_Process', 'Comes_from_Sample', 'Has_Request'); // Properties that provide de glueing between the different pages.

TODO

• Better handling of SMW property types
• Refactor some functions and variables
• Adding JSONScript tests following Semantic MediaWiki model
