text-highlightning for wikipedia-links

[parday_2003]

hi
(ohje, auch noch englisch, na dann mal los )

i used the search function but didn't find an accurate answer. i would like to highlight words, e.g. with [(word)]. then they should be transformed automatically to wikipedia-links: http://de.wikipedia.org/[b]word[/b].
is there already a plugin which is able to do, otherwise i think it's really easy to code (but not for me!!! )

thanks in advance


edit: a "[?]" as in the glossary plugin would be great

Hi!

For that, the easist thing would be to use the "Markup: RegexpMarkup" plugin by Rob Astonishen, from the Spartacus repository.

You could then create your custom RegExp file for this. Save it in the "regexps" subdirectory of the plugin, as Wikipedia.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
// Wiki-Reference.
//
$regexpArray = array(
    'SearchArray'=>array(
		"/\[\((.*)\)\]/"
    ),
    'ReplaceArray'=>array(
		'<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/\\1" target="_blank">\\1</a>' 
    )
); 

You might need to remove the other files in the regexps/ directory, since else they would be also applied and would lead to confusion.

HTH,
Garvin

wow

seems to work ... a bit:

when i write 2 or more words in one line the plugin is overstrained, eg:
[(hallo)] [(fernseher)]
the result is:
hallo)] [(fernseher ..... linked to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/hallo)]%20[(fernseher

do you have an answer to this problem?

thanks!

Hi!

Yes, this is due to the greedy matching of the regexp. Change it to this:

Code: Select all

<?php
// Wiki-Reference.
//
$regexpArray = array(
    'SearchArray'=>array(
		"/\[\((.*)\)\]/U"
    ),
    'ReplaceArray'=>array(
		'<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/\\1" target="_blank">\\1</a>' 
    )
); 

(Note the added "/U" in the searcharray)

Regards,
Garvin

Hi there,

I added this feature as "external wiki source" in the free wiki-links plugin. You can mark the tags with "{[" . I don't know the Markup Plugin but i guess the advantage in the wiki-links plugin ist that you can configure the url and set a specific style in your templates css file. The only thing is that i can't modify the belgium language file But if anybody is interested in it...

You could then create your custom RegExp file for this. Save it in the "regexps" subdirectory of the plugin, as Wikipedia.php:

there is already a wikipedia.php in the regexps-folder!

But, to be more compliant to the wiki-syntax these should work, too:

[(Wikipedia-word|another link text)]

for this:

Code: Select all

<?php
// Wiki-Reference.
//
$regexpArray = array(
    'SearchArray'=>array(
		"/\[\((.*)\)\]/U",
		"/\[\((.*|.*)\)\]/U"
    ),
    'ReplaceArray'=>array(
		'<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/\\1" target="_blank">\\1</a>',
		'<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/\\1" target="_blank">\\2</a>'
    )
);

perhaps it should be taken in the CVS?

this should be for what? As a sign "this is a wikipedia-link"?

If yes: Have a look at http://blog.stephan.manske-net.de/ there every wp-link has an wp-icon. Is this a solution for you?
