Full Version: Request for WIKIPEDIA-tags
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I would like to have tags available for WIKIPEDIA. So someone could at their will choose a word in their post to become a link to it's entry in WIKIPEDIA.

So basically a link would be created (personally I would prefer with _blank -attribute) where the user could first define the keyword(s), then the clickable word (just like the http-links now) and the keyword(s) would then be wrapped like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=[color=blue][b]keyword1+keyword2+keyword3[/b][/color]&fulltext=Search

But the text for the post would be shown something like this

"Lorem ipsum keyword1 keyword2 keyword3...."
where the keywords are now the link to the entry of the word (or phrase) in Wikipedia.

I would prefer this to be a eMod or plugin for ease of installation, but will settle for manual codechanges if I have to...so anyone able to build this for me?

cheers,
Kimmo
Does this mean there's no interest in this or no expertise to build it?
Please try the attached plugin. Wink

works like a charm! Now if I could only have an appropriate button in the forms for creating a new post/thread or editing an old one....just to make it easy for users...

cheers,
