User-contributed extensions for WikkaWiki


 


The purpose of this page is to briefly list/summarize code contributions that have been created by various contributors but which are not included in wikka as part of the general WikkaReleaseNotes release package. This is in recognition that there are now many enhancements of wikka that it is difficult to stay aware of without going to each and every page listed in CategoryUserContributions. In addition, this provides a summary of enhancements that (potential) new wikka adopters can use to rapidly figure out if wikka will meet their needs.

Note that the contributions are presented from the authors "as they are". None of the authors can be made responsible for not working code or any loss of data!

As code contributions are included in the wikka package then they should either be removed from this page or noted as being a formal modification of wikka (the argument to not remove them is so that wikka owners using a previous package can add changes they might find useful).

A second list can be found at the bottom containing actions available for wakka-forks but which have not been adopted/adapted for wikka.

If you plan to contribute code for WikkaWiki, don't forget to:

Actions developed in other Wakka-forks


  1. Table of Contents Action code for wikini to provide a structured table of contents action with page anchors
  1. Tables with formatting Action developed for wikini to provide tables with active page links, colour, etc... (another example)(Be warned...this is not a simple plug-and-play code exercise....although it is pretty straight-forward.... and only means copying in a few lines of code.... but it doesn't work...worse, if you put table code IN to a page it actually breaks the formatter (WSOD....white screen of death, at least in wikka 1.1.4.0) ....although it seems fine with everything else EXCEPT the table code, so it might be a regex problem...but I couldn't get it working (needs one of the whizzes out there I guess) -- Mike)
  1. User Information Action developed for wikini to provide a list of information for a user. I could see how this could be adapted to be useful for admin
  1. System Information Action developed for wikini to show brief system information
  1. Include page action Action developed for wikini which includes a page BUT with formatting that might be useful
  1. Slide Show Cycles through a listed series of wikka pages?? (the translation wasn't good)
  1. WikkaBlog - code to link wakka (not wikka, but easy to modify apparently) to a blog. (There's also a blog embedded in CoMaWiki and GmBowen is developing one, that can be seen here) [code]
  1. Another Calendar - a simple calendar developed & released at wackowiki [action]
  1. Search Highlighter - originally developed for Wakka Wiki, this highlights the search term on a page after the link on the search page is clicked on. Might be a useful little add-on to wikka.
  1. Smileys for Spikini - developed for Spikini which is a Wikini fork, there is a developed action for smileys which might be something to translate for use in wikka (others have mentioned wanting smileys). See here.
  1. Wikini has had a handler & action for SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) developed for it (see here)....which is interesting because somewhere (on a chinese version of wikka or wakka) I remember seeing an SVG-based drawing package embeddable in the wiki. --GmBowen
  1. How to have a Vertical left-hand-side navigation menu for wikini see here...which looks usable in wikka.
Sure, I've seen it elsewhere, but for people at my level or less this gives a good starting point for implementing it. --
  1. Although I acknowledge that there is resistance in the wikka community to incorporating Captcha as a way of preventing spam, it still seems worthwhile to post this implementation of it into wackowiki (which, for newbies, is a "brother" of wikka, being another fork of wakkawiki -- which means the codebase is similar (but changing)).

Resources for Potential Development


  1. I found this image generator which will allow a string of formatted math-related text to generate an image with structured formulas. It seems to work pretty well actually, although the formatting code seems to be something that math-folks would appreciate more than most of us (grin).
