[Phpwiki-talk] feature request...

[John C. <joh...@ua...>]

With all of the talk of a stable release, I'm going to be bold and ask for
two features :-)
 
First, we have a lot of people adding links using a interwiki link to a
directory on a local web server.  Unfortunately, they load their files via a
network share, so they cut and paste the filenames into the wiki.  The
problem is that they don't fix the slashes, so they have dos slashes instead
of web slashes, and all of their links are broken.
 
The feature I would like is to have an option to check links and warn the
user when they have updated a page with broken links.
 
Second, I have noticed a lot of word documents being shared on our wiki.  I
feel that this somehow defeats the wikiness of our wiki ;-)  I'd like to
have them convert the documents to wiki, but that is quite an undertaking.
I found a html2wiki php script at http://www.cvsnt.org/striphtml.php
<http://www.cvsnt.org/striphtml.php>  that Tony Hoyle (of CVSNT fame)
modified.  This would be a nice plugin to have, as I could then tell people
to convert their docs to html and use that plugin to convert the html to
wiki.  
 
Reini,  when you get to a point you have the HEAD at a point you want it
tested for a stable release, please shout out.  I was able to get the head
last week working fine, and I was about to put it in production here.  I'll
try and get any new release candidate running as quickly as possible since
things seem to be working ok for me.
 
Thanks,
 
John Cole
