 Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2007 9:38 Post subject: [Plugin] Wikipedia Links Plugin |
 |
|
It is a pleasure to announce the release of the Wikipedia Links Plugin for b2evolution 1.10.2. From the linked blog post:
| Quote: |
| This plugin will replace all ocurrence of tags of the form: [[en:Article Title]] with links to the corresponing article in the respective wikipedia international site (as specified by the two letter language code). For instance, an entry like [[en:DNA]] will produce a link to DNA, while an entry like [[no:Næringsstoff]] will produce a link to http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Næringsstoff. |
There was once a plugin which did similar things,but it seems to have dissapeared. So I wrote this little one to fill the void.
For me at least this is very useful, because I'm constantly linking to wikipedia articles. Let me know what you think about it.
Warning: If you write in russian, hebrew, or some other non-latin charset this probably would not do what you want. In the few cases I tested, the result was a bunch of html entities in the post which I could not make work. Maybe someone who knows better than me can help fix this.
This plugin has nothing to do with the Wikilinks provided by the default b2evolution installation, which creates internal links with a wikipedia-like syntax.
Update (02/29/2008):
As far as I know this the coolest plugin around  So I decided to update and fix a few things. From the Announcement in my blog:
| Quote: |
This new version (0.99) of my Wikipedia Links plugin for b2evolution brings one bug fix and two improvements.
- The bug fix: Conflict with the Smilies plugin that produced smilies instead of links to wikipedia in some cases.
- Improvement (1): Now WL understands extended link format, for instance: [[es:Real Madrid Club de Fútbol|Real Madrid]], produces: Real Madrid.
- Improvement (2): Now the links have a CSS class "wikipedia_link", so that you can style them using CSS stylesheets (Thanks to Afwas for this suggestion)

Enjoy.

This is a very beatiful plugin that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. I am very fond of preg_replace statements like yours:
| PHP: |
|
$content = preg_replace( '#\[\[([[]]{2}):([^]+]+)\]\]#eis',
|
(and it is more beatiful if phpBB didn't delete the alpha part  )
One suggestion. I changed the line:
in
| PHP: |
|
.'\" class=\"wikilink\">'
|
so I am able to style the links, like making them green.
Thanks.

Thanks Afwas. It's amazing what one can do with Regular Expressions.
I've taken your suggestion, that would be line 80. When I a little free time, I'll update the package.

It works in 2.0.2, see my testblog. The line in the plugin you want to change is line 80, as Austriaco pointed out and the style goes into your skin's css file (or better, in one of the all skins css files at ../blogs/rsc/css/) and looks similar to:
| Code: |
a.wikilink {
background: transparent url(../../img/wikipedia.png) center right no-repeat;
padding-right: 18px;
color: green;
}
a.wikilink:visited {
color: lightseagreen;
} |
Good luck

What's the source of your output? Only thing I can imagine is an error there.
Good luck

It doesn't render the class="wikilink" at all.
I did a direct cut n paste of your posted line
| PHP: |
|
.'\" class=\"wikilink\">'
