How to use it

@hazardj thinks the only things you need to do to get this working in Mediawiki are the following. LMK.

1. Install MW
2. Add the following into your LocalSettings.php

require_once( "$IP/extensions/Binder/binder.php" );

3. In the extentions directory, create the Binder directory. Add this file as binder.php:

Many thanks to Andrew. Some fiddling by @hazardj under his initials - JGH.

What's this do?

Nested responses:

It adds to MW a function that is like transclusion: A list of pages (Binder) each page can have one or more lists of key/values (Fields) Rendering the Binder starts with a default field ( {Model.Root} ) and looks for it by looking down the succession of lists.
If found in a list, the text of the value is substituted for the {Model.Root} in the text. If not found, then it looks for a page called Model.Root If found, then the text of the page is substituted for the {Model.Root} in the text. If not found, then no substitution is made. Repeat for each {Token} found in the replacement text.

There is a variation (Render with Edit Links) that sort of marks the replacement by putting in a * just before. But totally improvised by @hazardj and buggy. A really impressive version of this was done for the Xwiki platform by Ludovic Dubost.

What it doesn't do:

• Recursion, prefixing, include other URLs, wrap the spans with metadata to allow easy understanding and editing.

Next Level:

It is used in http://beta.commonaccord.org to codify legal documents.

Next Level: It is an example of the use of this Lisp-like function. See http://beta.commonaccord.org/wiki/About:TechnicalEnablement

Top Level: An iterative semantic web.

cmacc-mediawiki's Issues

Not working

Installed MW
Did as instructed and added the Binder.php file in the extensions directory, but now all I get is a webpage similar to the one on Github. It seems that the script is just displaying instead of executing. Maybe some pernissions need to be changed? or maybe something else need to be done?

Importing Standard Clauses into a dedicated wiki

As I have now a working instance on my PC, the next step for me is to seed that instance with the knowledge already accumulated in beta.commonaccord.org,
From the standard install there was no way of doing an import into my system.

Installing on bitnami

Bitnami was a smooth experience except for:

1. Figuring out about Cyberduck and the pem authentication was new and a bit confusing.
2. For some reason Aquamac, which works great elsewhere, was wrecking LocalSettings.php. Oddly, TextEdit was better - no problem.
3. So, after the install, all you neeed to do is:
   3.1. add extensions/Binder/binder.php
   3.2. add a line in LocalSettings.php for
   require_once( "$IP/extensions/Binder/binder.php"
   3.3 if you want to export/import:
   $wgGroupPermissions['']['import'] = true;
   $wgGroupPermissions['']['importupload'] = true;

Still missing setup instruction

Now able to run MW with the "binder.php" extension, but getting an error message when clicking on the "Render" button after creating a test page MarcD/Agt_Cadre
