#set does not handle strings with underscores

Hi.

I have the following in a template:

{{#set:Open Link=[[{{PAGENAME}}|{{{from}}} - {{{subject}}} -
{{#sub:{{{date}}}|5|20}}]]}}

If the page name has an underscore in it e.g. [hidden email],
then the #set completely fails. The Open Link string type property is
not set at all. Not even the {{{from}}} - {{{subject}}} -
{{#sub:{{{date}}}|5|20}}]]} part gets set.

Is there a way round this? Surely a #set on a string property should
allow all valid string characters.

Thanks
Neill.

Re: #set does not handle strings with underscores

Same goes for page names with spaces in :(

Re: #set does not handle strings with underscores

Try this as a workaround:

[[Some property::Some property value| ]]

That should silently annotate the property, and it may avoid the bug in #set. If it works, then it also means that the issue with #set probably should be reported.

I just realized you have a pipe character in there. You need to escape that with a template containing a single pipe character. I recommend Template:! so you would escape the pipe with {{!}}

Re: #set does not handle strings with underscores

You should also set null defaults for your parameters. Here's how I would rewrite it:

{{#set:Open Link=[[{{PAGENAME}}{{!}}{{{from|}}} - {{{subject|}}} - {{#sub:{{{date|}}}|5|20}}]]}}

I hope that helps.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately this will not work in this case because of the square
brackets around the link I'm forming:
[[{{PAGENAME}}{{!}}{{{from|}}} - {{{subject|}}} -
{{#sub:{{{date|}}}|5|20}}]]

You would have:
[[Open Link::[[{{PAGENAME}}{{!}}{{{from|}}} - {{{subject|}}} -
{{#sub:{{{date|}}}|5|20}}]]]]

Which will not parse.

I need this to work as I am effectively aliasing the raw page name which
is not user friendly with a link of a specific desired format.

Cheers
Neill.

Nope, definitely does not work. #set cannot cope with underscores. I've
raised a bug.

Cheers
Neill.

Re: #set does not handle strings with underscores

Do you have $smwgLinksInValues = true; configured in your LocalSettings.php?:

http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration#smwgLinksInValues

Also, what's the URL to your bug report?

Neill Mitchell

Re: #set does not handle strings with underscores

Yup, I have that set.

Bug is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34575

Cheers
Neill.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
