Information concerning this TEST Module ExListing

THIS IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY - AND AS A SAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH A SCRIBUNTO (LUA) MODULE

BASIC CODE CAN BE TAKEN AND REVAMPED BY SOMEONE WITH MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE

1. Parameters being input to module -- Template ExListing

   • -- name
   • -- alternate name
   • -- url - begin with http://....
   • -- email address
   • -- physical address
   • -- latitude - lat and long being used in old manner and testing for new format

   • -- layer - added as option - default M
   • -- directions to entity
   • -- phone #

   • -- LANUGUAGE - for use with future map - lat,long,zoom,layer,language and pagenamee
   • -- PAGENAMEE - for use with future map - lat,long,zoom,layer,language and pagenamee
2. Error Checking
   • Require name or produce Module script error
   • Attempt to fix URL address for display
   • Check lat and long for same number of digits after decimal point
   • Replace space in phone, fax, tty, tollfree numbers with 'no break space'
   • Attempt to repair multi-line turnovers in content entry
   • Check IsLatin in alt entry in order to do italics
3. Tables in Module
   • Icon table - list of legal icons to be used in listing ie. Museum, Hospital, Parking etc.
   • Colors - used for maps based on listing type ie. brown, steelblue etc.
4. Display differences
   • Using bold abbreviations to separate entities such as: phone, e-mail, fax etc.
   • Added fax
   • Using an indented line (preceded by a black circle) for turnover lines in content entry.
   • Added flag entry
5. Work to be done on this Module test
   • Get the new maps to link and display correctly - current moment numbers do not show in map
   • Get other individual links in content to work...
     • Currently have basis for above to work see Module ExListingPoi, Template ExListingPoi etc.
6. Possible issue with using Scribunto (Lua)
   • Maybe a wiki issue using a Module - question of timing - as to when a page is being rendered
   • and if timing is not correct issue may occur that parsing of icons for map does not happen...
   • Note: "At this point in the page parse, templates have already been expanded, parser functions and extension tags have already been processed, and pre-save transforms have happened" - quote from mediawiki.org
