Requests and Ideas (new threads) http://www.wikidot.org/forum/c-28017/requests-and-ideas Threads in the forum category "Requests and Ideas" - Feature requests and ideas for developers. http://www.wikidot.org/forum/t-65829 Tags Suggest http://www.wikidot.org/forum/t-65829/tags-suggest Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:24:51 +0000 Giovanni Savastano 106332 Hi all,
I'm trying to implement some new features in wikidot v1
one of these is "tags suggest". this feature works as usersearch do. while you type a tag in the form PageTagsModule, it "suggest" you what similar tags you have already used in other pages.

this is the main function (a poor copy&past&modify from PageLookupQModule….):

 class TagsLookupQModule extends QuickModule { public function process($data){ // does not use data $search = $_GET['q']; $siteId = $_GET['s']; if(!is_numeric($siteId)) return; if($search == null || strlen($search) ==0) return; $search1 = pg_escape_string(preg_quote($search)); $search2 = pg_escape_string($search); Database::init(); $q1 = "SELECT tag, tag_id FROM page_tag WHERE " . "tag ~* '^$search1' AND tag != '$search2' AND site_id = '$siteId'"; $q1 .= "ORDER BY tag LIMIT 20"; $q2 = "SELECT tag, user_id FROM page_tag WHERE " . "tag = '$search2' AND site_id ='$siteId'"; $db = Database::connection(); $result1 = $db->query($q1); $result1 = $result1->fetchAll(); $result2 = $db->query($q2); $result2 = $result2->fetchAll(); if($result1 == null && $result2 != null) $result = $result2; if($result2 == null && $result1 != null) $result = $result1; if($result1 != null && $result2 != null){ $result = array_merge($result2, $result1); } return array('tags' => $result); } }

now I need to modify PageTagsModule.js in order to allow search operation.
anyone can help me? I think this feature would be very usefull for everyone.

thanks,
Gio

Mon, 05 May 2008 01:09:04 +0000 thomasn 122915 Markdown — see Wikipedia — is becoming really well supported, with loads of tools to convert to (and in some cases from) HTML, PDF, LaTeX, DocBook, groff etc etc. This makes it a great choice as a standard doc format, much easier to write than an XML dialect, and also a good choice as a simple wiki format.

You can see some of the available engines in action at
http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=++*+foo%0D%0A%0D%0Abar ,
or have a look at the converter at http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/try

The PHP implementation is one of the most solid. Is there any interest in adding an option to use the portable Markdown syntax instead of the (probably more powerful) Wikidot syntax?

Yes, they may be abused at times by spammers. And no: they aren't dead, or completely ignored by search engines.

One particular area where they would be useful, are the Google Webmaster Tools. The functionality seems very similar to the one for Google Analytics - you get a key, and the system makes a simple tag out of it. So for starters, it could be adapted from that '3rd party tool'. (Also note that there are many people screaming for it over at wikidot forums.)

I would be happy if the Webmaster Tools were available. But the general capability to edit Meta tags would be very useful by itself.

Would be helpful to be able to link to a template page passing variables in a LINK, like mypage?num_books=20. This way, template can be used as is filling necessary info in a link. Say I have a page that is good for a number of stocks but has some elements that depend on a stock symbol. I can define it as a template but I need to create a separate page for each stock just to pass in symbol as a parameter. It would be nice if I can do that in a link reference directly.

For example I don't mind if anonymous visitors view page history or want to discuss the page, but currently those two actions are mixed in with things they can't do, like edit or add tags for example, and there is no visual distinction between them.

thanks.

update: it would be sufficient to just display them differently, grayed out if they can't be used for example. They wouldn't have to be in a different place.
