[Phpwiki-talk] New magic link rewriter?

[<mar...@we...>]

Hi all,

I'm new to phpwiki and I'm trying to use it for the purposes of the 
website for creating an open-source thesaurus (see 
synonimy.sourceforge.net or www.openthesaurus.de). The thesaurus itself 
uses a strict format of data and wiki style editing would be too 
cumbersome, but I'd like to have some special pages for users.

What I really need is a kind of tagging to use in phpwiki to create 
special links. There will be pages in my wiki containing lists of words 
that should be added eventually to the thesaurus. These word lists can 
be created automatically and words could be enclosed in special brackets 
like {{}} etc. The wiki could use this tagging to create urls like 
http://synonimy.sourceforge.net/synset?word=foobar etc. Is it possible 
to do something like that?

Or maybe is it possible to do something more fancy, like generating red 
underline on words that are not yet in my mysql database, and green 
underline on words included -- some automated db plugin could parse the 
page before displaying it (the queries would be quite simple).

Thanks to wiki users could comment on some words (for example there are 
words that are extremely unlikely to have a synonym - like "tooth" for 
example), and suggest words that feel are important but they could not 
remember the synonym.

Thank you for all your advices on this subject.

Sure. You need to create a special InterWikiMap entry, which maps all
words with a special prefix to a special url.
like
  Synset:Unknown =>
http://synonimy.sourceforge.net/synset?word=foobar

map entry:
Synset http://synonimy.sourceforge.net/synset?word=

phpwiki marks all unknown pages by some class, and all known words
with some other class.
so you have to map/generate all your words of your database to the
wikidb.
easiest done by regularly importing pregenerated plain textfiles, without
overwrite. just create missing pages.

A seperate special mapping to outside databases is planned for 1.5.x
but it is not exactly specified yet.
Easier will be to create a hook which looks into a seperate database on
unknown pages (such as imdb.com) and fill the page by data from the
external database combined with some template.

Yeah, that's a good idea. This works definitely.

How do I do that with PhpWiki running on MySQL? Please take into account
that I have over 22,000 words, and generating single text files for all
of them doesn't seem a best idea... Or should I simply create page
records for all the words in my dictionary?

That means I can create a hook that could be spawned by clicking the
link of the unknown page?

BTW, my first impression is quite good, but the Sidebar theme apparently
needs some fixing :(
