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 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.

Actions developed in other Wakka-forks

1. Table of Contents (link broken? try this: Table of Contents) Action code for wikini to provide a structured table of contents action with page anchors

• Like other TOC actions I've seen this seems to create anchors as numbers. Quite apart from validity questions (an anchor must be an ID so it cannot start with a digit), this is a bad idea - especially in a Wiki - since such anchors would change with many types of page change, such as addition of a heading or section or slight re-arrangement. Which means you can never create links to those anchors within a page. A better idea is to create anchors based on the actual text of the headings which have a much higher chance of being stable. Yes, a TOC action would be nice - but a better one! (MediaWiki does it right.) --JavaWoman

• I had another action, flexible but a bit tedious : see AnchorAction and a sample result is at my homepage --DotMG

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)

• I think we should just develop our own (new) table formatting code. Looking at what others are doing (not just Wakka forks) is useful, but then we should not start with copying but write some specs - what do we want to be able to do, short term? long term? Then write code based on those specs. Table markup is complicated enough that you cannot just dive in and write some code and then just tweak it a little. See also the discussions on WikkaTables. --JavaWoman

• I agree with all of what you write. All of this is just intended as a stimulant for development. I was quite impressed with the degree of formatting achieved with wikini and thought it would provide us ideas. --GmBowen

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

• I like the formatting idea though we should probably define different classes/default values. --JavaWoman

• Now adapted for wikka (see above), and ready for further development {wink} -- GmBowen

1. Slide Show Cycles through a listed series of wikka pages?? (the translation wasn't good).

• No : it create a slide show based on a unique page ; each slide is delimited by h2 titles like in this page : http://www.wikini.net/wakka.php?wiki=Test1PourLeHandlerSlideShow -- CharlesNepote

1. WikkaBlog - code to link wakka (not wikka, but easy to modify apparently) to a blog. (There's also a blog embedded in CoMaWiki ....GmBowen has developed one here too (WikkaBlog2 ?) [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.

• It's not an action, actually - more like a filter, a special formatter that gets applied automatcially as long as it's found in the appropriate location. Spikini's plugins are not like Wikka's actions. Anyway, replacing smiley "text" by images really is a formatting process, not an "action" in the Wikka sense at all. --JavaWoman

• oh ya, it's a filter. oops. Don't know what I was thinking writing that....I shoulda looked more closely at the code before I wrote anything here..."filtre" is obviously french for "filter" and the code clearly isn't an action. Ooops, sorry. I'm personally not a "smiley" person at all {grin} so it's not at all high on my list of things to develop for wikka (table markup is WAY before that) but I was trying to provide a resource for others. Comawiki & Uniwakka both also have smileys. Uniwakka obviously is also a filter/formatter of some sort because writing the characters ;-} shows the smiley when the page is saved.

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.

• Browse some time through the many sites on WikkaSites - especially the ones highlighted as having notable layout - and you'll see many are already doing something similar with Wikka, both left-hand menus and right-hand menus. There are very many ways to skin that cat. :) --JavaWoman

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).
