Wiki Links plugin - Does this work in version 3.1.0-beta???

1 May 04, 2009 21:27    

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

I am relatively new to b2e but have been exploring for the past 2 or 3 weeks. Earlier today I added the wiki plugin to my blogs. I followed the installation instructions and although I have the wiki 'text' render enabled (and forced ;) ) I can't seem to wiki mark-ups to work. For instance, I created a test entry attempting to link to the general wikipedia DNA page. According to the developers of this plugin, this should only require that I use the standard wiki ( [[DNA]] ) mark-up's as seen below.

But, when I view the page after posting it, it's not functioning this way. In fact, it seems to want me to create a page my own own internal wiki and even when I attempt to do that, it doesn't work - it simply makes a new post with my DNA post and does not actually link to it.

(I am currently on version 3.1.0-beta)

Any clue what I am doing wrong here? Ideally, I am JUST looking to create individual links to the main wikipedia site for the time being. We have an internal wiki and will eventually work on linking to that as well.

Afwas: Thanks! I installed the wikipedia plugin and it is working fine.

In terms of the wiki links plugin itself, I am still having issues with getting it to work....

Please correct me if I am wrong but it's my understanding that with the wikilinks plugins I should be able to do the following:

In a new entry, I should be able to use standard wiki 'mark-up's to link to another post that deals with the subject I am mentioning. For instance, I wanted to make a post that included the mention of a 'functional solution design' and link this to a page where the definition of a FSD is displayed. I understand that if the page where the definition of a FSD does not already exist I'd have to do this once the entry posted by clicking on the '?' placed next to the wiki mark-up ( [[Functional Solution Document]] )

(FYI: I already made sure that the wiki links plugin was enabled in the 'text renders' section)

Instead this is what is happening......

I make my first entry where I mention the term Functional Solution Document and use wiki mark-up's [[Functional Solution Document]]

Once I publish the post, it displays on my blog. Functional Solution Document now shows with a light dotted highlight beneath it & a question mark next to it. When I over over the question mark, a pop up that says "Create" appears. I click on this pop-up and am brought to a new post page.

One the new post page, I enter in my FSD definition and publish the entry.

When I return to the blog the individual FSD definition posts above the initial entry AND in the original post, the mention of FSD DOES NOT link to the individual FSD definition post

Am I not understanding how this plugin is supposed to work?
