Voodoo.svg

In computer programming, "Voodoo", or "Magic" refers to techniques that are secret or not widely known, and may be deliberately kept secret. The Jargon File makes a distinction between "deep magic", which refers to code based on esoteric theoretical knowledge; "black magic" (voodoo), which refers to code based on techniques that appear to work but which lack a theoretical explanation; and "heavy wizardry", which refers to code based on obscure or undocumented intricacies of particular hardware or software.

At Organic Design the most common of these is extending an instance's class at runtime after it has been instantiated, a technique that can be used to provide additional hooks into existing code without requiring modification of code-base files. Another is reading in a class file, declaring it under a different name, then sub-classing that with a new class of the original name - that way the environment uses the new extended class thinking it's the original one.

$wgWorkflowMagic = "workflow"; $wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'wfSetupWorkflow'; $wgHooks['LanguageGetMagic'][] = 'wfWorkflowLanguageGetMagic';

$wgExtensionCredits['parserhook'][] = array( 'name' => 'Workflow', 'author' => 'User:Nad', 'description' => 'Adds the ability for articles to be part of workflow sequences and easily moved dynamically between phases in the sequence using AJAX.', 'url' => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Workflow', 'version' => WORKFLOW_VERSION );

  1. If it's a workflow-related ajax call, don't use dispatcher (because we need the catlinks generated by normal page render)

if ($wgUseAjax && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'ajax' && $_REQUEST['rs'] == 'wfWorkflowUpdateState' && is_array($_REQUEST['rsargs'])) { list($_REQUEST['title'],$wgWorkflowName,$wgWorkflowState) = $_REQUEST['rsargs']; $wgHooks['OutputPageBeforeHTML'][] = 'wfWorkflowReturnCatlinks'; $wgWorkflowUpdateState = true; $_REQUEST['action'] = 'render'; } else $wgWorkflowUpdateState = false;

  1. Expand the #tags to reveal the current state and hide the others and add javascript
  2. - note the hidden states mustn't be rendered because they contain categorisation links which shouldn't be processed

function wfWorkflowExpand() {

# Extend catlinks information to include workflows wfWorkflowExtendCatlinks();

# Populate $argv with both named and numeric parameters $argv = array(); $items = array(); foreach (func_get_args() as $arg) if (!is_object($arg)) { if (preg_match('/^(.+?)\\s*=\\s*(.+)$/',$arg,$match)) $argv[$match[1]] = $match[2]; else $argv[] = $arg; }

# Render the visible item # - could also render all non-visible items here too, but with a cloned parser object so that the categorisation doesn't occur # - that way the JS can instantly cycle through all rendered states, then set new state and get updated catlinks via ajax $text = 'done'; foreach ($argv as $k => $v) { if ($format == 'tag') {

$text = "

\n$text

";

} elseif ($format == 'list') {

$text .= "

$v

\n"; $text = "

\n$text

";

} }

return $text; }

  1. Update a tag state in an article

function wfWorkflowUpdateState($pagename,$name,$state) { global $wgWorkflowMagic,$wgWorkflowState; $title = Title::newFromtext($pagename); if (is_object($title) && $title->exists()) { $article = new Article($title); $text = $article->getContent(); $wgWorkflowState = $state; preg_replace_callback("/\\{\\{#$wgWorkflowMagic:.*?id\\s*=\\s*['\"]?$id\\W.*?\\}\\}/s",'wfWorkflowUpdateStateCB',$text,1,$count); if ($count) $article->updateArticle($text,"summary",false,false); } }

  1. Replacement callback for updating tag state

function wfWorkflowUpdateStateCB($m) { global $wgWorkflowMagic,$wgWorkflowState; $m[0] = preg_replace("/(state\\s*=\\s*['\"]?)\\w+/","$1$wgWorkflowState",$m[0],1,$count); if ($count < 1) $m[0] = preg_replace("/(\\{\\{#$wgWorkflowMagic:/","$0state=$wgWorkflowState|",$m[0]); return $m[0]; }

  1. Extend catlinks information to include workflows

function wfWorkflowExtendCatlinks() { static $done = 0; if ($done++) return; global $wgUser; $skin = $wgUser->getSkin();

# Create a new Skin class (WorkflowSkin) by extending the existing one with overridden getCategoryLinks method $class = get_class($skin); eval("class WorkflowSkin extends {$class} ".'{ function getCategoryLinks() { $catlinks = parent::getCategoryLinks(); $catlinks .= "
foo"; return $catlinks; } }');

# Replace user's skin with a WorkflowSkin replica $wgUser->mSkin = new WorkflowSkin(); foreach (array_keys(get_class_vars($class)) as $k) $wgUser->mSkin->$k = $skin->$k; }

  1. Return just the catlinks to the client after updating a tag state

function wfWorkflowReturnCatlinks() { global $wgUser,$wgOut; $skin = $wgUser->getSkin(); $catlinks = is_object($skin) ? $skin->getCategoryLinks() : 'Error: no skin!'; $wgOut->disable(); while(@ob_end_clean()); if (in_array('Content-Encoding: gzip',headers_list())) $catlinks = gzencode($catlinks); echo($catlinks); return false; }

  1. Called from $wgExtensionFunctions array when initialising extensions

function wfSetupWorkflow() { global $wgParser,$wgWorkflowMagic,$wgWorkflowUpdateState; $wgParser->setFunctionHook($wgWorkflowMagic,'wfWorkflowExpand'); if ($wgWorkflowUpdateState) wfWorkflowUpdateState($_REQUEST['title'],$wgWorkflowName,$wgWorkflowState); }

  1. Needed in MediaWiki >1.8.0 for magic word hooks to work properly

function wfWorkflowLanguageGetMagic(&$magicWords,$langCode = 0) { global $wgWorkflowMagic; $magicWords[$wgWorkflowMagic] = array(0,$wgWorkflowMagic); return true; } ?>
