OpenWetWare:Software/Extensions/HeaderFooter
Origin
See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Header_Footer for original extension.
This also uses a second extension, ArticleCacheClass, by the same author.
This extension currently (11-27-2007) is being used to display a message regarding surveys. The previous extension used for this, SpecialHeader, was not reliable.
Use
Namespace Headers
To modify the contents of the displayed header, do it here:
Template:SurveyHeader
Namespaces Using This Extension
This template is used by 2 other pages:
For the main namespace: header For the project (OpenWetWare) namespace: OpenWetWare:Header
LocalSettings.php
The following code needs to be added to enable the notice for a namespace AFTER the include of the extension files:
$hfObj->setNsParams(<namespace constant>, array('enable'=>true)); // enable header for a specific namespace
Current Namspaces used:
$hfObj->setNsParams(NS_MAIN, array('enable'=>true)); // enable for the main namespace $hfObj->setNsParams(NS_PROJECT, array('enable'=>true)); // enable for the project (OpenWetWare) namespace

Problems
- You must bracket all headers with the <wikionly></wikionly> tags.
- This will keep the headers from being generated on dewikified pages for individual labs.
- The <wikionly> tags may not be used in templates.
- They should be on the headers themselves.
- Still not clear why.
- There should be at least one blank line after the </nowiki> tag in the header.
- If this is not present, the first line of the page upon which the header is displayed will NOT be interpreted as wiki text.
- All Header tags should be protected.
