Hi Matthew, This is fantastic! I'm glad you are making good use of External Data, and some of its more advanced features like prepared SQL statements. It's great to see the whole assembly line in one place.
I put in a link to your tutorial video here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:External_Data/Databases#External_links My only comment is that it would be better to put all that complex code into templates, like "Office" or "Employee", and then put in calls to those templates on each page, rather than pasting in the entire set of code every time - it's easier to add, and of course easier to modify the code later on. -Yaron On Mon, Jul 1, 2024 at 11:35 AM Matthew Shell <m...@mshell.net> wrote: > Hello, > > > > I recently configured my MediaWiki instance to pull data from a mySQL > server using the External Data connector.
