WIKIPEDIA v1.3
By Karl Benson

Link to Mod | Comment On This Mod

Introduction
Enables you use bbcode to point users to wikipedia pages using wiki bbcode

Installation
Installs automatically on Default, Classic and Babylon theme and any theme without a custom Post.template.php

To manually install this modification on other themes;
- place the wiki.gif in the "Themes/{ThemeName}/images/bbc" for EVERY THEME.
- A single manual edit is required FOR EACH THEME with a custom Post.template.php

Open Themes/{themename}/Post.template.php, and FIND:

Code Select Expand


$context['bbc_tags'][] = array(
'flash' => array('code' => 'flash', 'before' => '[flash=200,200]', 'after' => '[/flash]', 'description' => $txt[433]),

ADD AFTER:

Code Select Expand


'wiki' => array('code' => 'wiki', 'before' => '[wiki]', 'after' => '[/wiki]', 'description' => $txt['wikipedia']),


If you are still having trouble, I recommend the Modification Parser by Daniel 15

How Do I Use This Mod?
The mod adds a Wiki BBCode button to insert Wiki BBCode which then is converted in posts to point users to pages at wikipedia, clearing marking where the link leads.

Code Select Expand

I really like the concept of this mod & think it will be very useful but having "Wikipedia: " inserted in front of the word is distracting & throws off the entire concept IMHO.  Something that may be more effective would be having "Wiki" as a superscript after the word, in a smaller font if possible.  As is I have to type out my original sentence, then enter a line just for the wiki search.  Can you make a seperate tweaked mod to make this more inline text friendly?  Thank you!

[karlbenson]

can u show me how you would prefer it? in a mockup screenshot or in a post.

And I'll try it

[Grogo67]

I'll try...

My favorite figure skater is hxxp:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Brian%20Boitano&go=Go [nonactive]^Wiki

[karlbenson]

ok, try
http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?action=download;mod=434;id=18383

[kegobeer]

How about a dotted/dashed hyperlink.  That usually designates a definition.

[Grogo67]

ok, try
http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?action=download;mod=434;id=18383

It works great, thanks!

[karlbenson]

np.
If theres the will for it, I'll take a look at that other suggested one of having a definition underlined. (and add wiki on the title tag of the link

Whenever I try to install this mod, I am getting the following errors in the package manager:

Installing this package will perform the following actions:

Do you know why this is?  I'm using 1.0.8 and 1.1 RC2.

[Alan S]

Any other mods installed on those forums?

[karlbenson]

Its never been tested on 1.0.8  Only 1.1 series RC1,RC2,RC3

[Phidippides]

Ok, thank you - I installed 1.1RC3 and the Wiki BBCode now works great.....perhaps one of the best mods for my purposes.

I have edited the alternative Version of this Mod to work with German Wikipedia:

Get it here!

[Gobo]

this is a great mod
thanks for it

im using it no

[bruce marusich]

It looks like a great mod, but when I install the original or the alternate, whatever link I use opens up wikipedia.org, but does not link to the subject inserted, just the general search page. Any ideas about this? It would be a great mod to have working, as the smf forum I run is mostly for students.
Thanks,
Bruce marusich

[Gobo]

1.1 Final is out

Looking forward to the 1.1 compatible mod

[Alenônimo]

This MOD could have an Administration Menu allowing to define which wiki system to use and how it would show on posts. I don't like the "Wikipedia: " prefix or "^wiki" suffix.

[karlbenson]

I may get some time to take a look at it this weekend.

[stoecki]

An Option to define what Wikipedia (German, English, French etc.) to use would be nice.

[karlbenson]

I havent had much time on it today.

I've made it 1.1.1 and 1.1 compliant.
Also uploaded some non-english versions. (basically directs to wikipedia in italian etc)
