Best way to have a stock of wiki links, say in notepad?
We have discussed how awkward it is to set links in PBWiki when you have a lot of pages.
I have written a little parser that goes through the backup files and builds a list of pages and their parent pages (we have a standard for "up link"). This gives me a really nice treeview of the whole wiki.
I want to be able to:
1) Paste in a link into the editor that is like a path that the user can click on any link:
frontpage > Using the SIPP System > Tasks > Mine and My group
I have the pages and the linkage, but can't seem to work out what I need to copy to the clipboard to give the the same effect and adding the links manually. I know I could read and re-write the page using the API, but haven't tackled that yet.
If I copy a link in the WIKI (in edit mode) and paste it into another page, it is still a link. If I copy and paste into notepad, it reverts to plain text.
http://xyz.pbwiki.com/page works, but the link is not relative, it is just a completely specified URL link.
I hope that makes sense.

Inappropriate?Interesting problem. Hmmm
In PBwiki 1.0, the guys in the Widget wiki had a bread crumb java script that automatically added a navigation to the wiki.
Maybe they've got something in the works for 2.0?

Inappropriate?Thanks Clif,
I don't want it to track where they have been, just the logical path to the top. The key for me is to be editing a section and have a list of links somewhere (preferably in an external editor) and be able to paste them into an edit session and for them to be internal links in the wiki.
I'll to see what the clipboard format is for the editor.

Inappropriate?Bump this into V2.
I need to be able to paste a link into the local wiki (i.e. in this wiki) and the wiki to realise it is a local link and to make it like a native link.

vs
http://xyz.pbwiki.com/FrontPage
I know I keep bringing this up in slightly different flavours, but it is a real productivity hurdle using the editor links editor (for us anyway).

Inappropriate?Hi Jac,
There may be a way to do what you want using the PBwiki API. I can't promise that we'll work on making it possible to paste usable local links into a wiki anytime soon.
You can find details about the PBwiki API at this site:
