I am using wikimedia as a bibliographical management system, defining pages for every item in the library. One issue was to make uploading of .pdf files easy, so you could upload and generate a library page in only one step.
All this code goes into /includes/SpecialUploads.php.
First stop. I added two parameters in the UploadForm, a checkbox for enabling library uploads, and a text box for the wiki library page:
$this->mWatchthis = $request->getBool( 'wpWatchthis' );
# MOD BEGIN
$this->mUploadLibrary = $request->getBool( 'wpUploadLibrary' );
$this->mUploadLibraryPage = $request->getText( 'wpUploadLibraryPage' );
# MOD END
This is the code for generating a page. You can put it right after the PDF doc search modification.
#MOD START
# Generate the library page, MSR 2005
$libraryURL = "";
if ($this->mUploadLibrary) {
$articleName = $this->mUploadLibraryPage;
$wl_title = Title::newFromText ( $articleName );
if (!$wl_title->exists()) {
$wl_article = new Article ( $wl_title ) ;
$articleContent = "[[:Image:" . $this->mUploadSaveName . "]]\n\n" .
"BIBTEX REPLACE\n\nDESCRIPTION REPLACE\n\nCOMMENTS REPLACE\n\n" .
"Category:New\n\n";
$wl_article->insertNewArticle( $articleContent, "",
false, $this->mWatchthis);
}
$libraryURL = $wl_title->getFullURL( "action=edit&editintro=Template:New library upload intro" );
}
# MOD END
This modification redirects to the created page:
if ( $success ) {
# MOD START
if ($this->mUploadLibrary)
$wgOut->redirect( $libraryURL );
else
# MOD END
$this->showSuccess();
