This extensions adds a number of useful magic words which we've needed for our own projects over the years. Most of them are available already in various different extensions, but we preferred to have them all packaged together in one place.
Contents
CURRENTUSER
The username of the current user.
It is used as follows without any parameters (all the following ones without any example have the same basic syntax).
{{CURRENTUSER}}
This gives the result: 18.191.223.239
CURRENTPERSON
The real name of the current user if they entered one on sign up or in their preferences.
USERID
The ID of the current user.
CURRENTLANG
The two-letter language code preference of the current user.
CURRENTSKIN
The name of the skin selected by the current user.
ARTICLEID
The ID of the article being viewed.
IPADDRESS
The IP address of the current user.
DOMAIN
The domain name used to make the current request.
GUID
A randomly generated globally unique identifier.
USERPAGESELFEDITS
Returns a list of usernames for users who have made edits to their own user pages.
REQUEST
This is a parser-function which has as its first parameter the name of a query-string or posted value, it will return the content of that value. The second parameter is a default to return if the value didn't exist. For example:
{{REQUEST:mydata | No data set }}
COOKIE
This is similar to the REQUEST function but works for cookie values instead.
#ifgroup
A conditional function for testing group membership, the first parameter is the group (or comma-separated list of groups), the second is what to return if the current user belongs to at least one of the groups, and the third (optional) parameter is what to return if the user is not in any of the groups. For example:
{{#ifgroup:sysop | You are a sysop }}
{{#ifgroup:user | You are logged in as {{CURRENTUSER}} | You are not logged in }}
#ifuses
A conditional function for testing whether or not the current article uses a given template, the first parameter is the name of the template to test for, the second and third are the content to return if the condition is true or not true the same as for #ifgroup.
#ifcat
This is another conditional test, in this case the first parameter is the name of a category to test whether the current article is a member of or not.
#next, #prev
Return previous or next items in a list given item text and a list. Used by the Bliki 2.0 system.
OWNER
Returns the owner (creator) of an article given its title.
