Excellent mod for referencing Wikipedia articles on a separate line! We do this all the time.

Would also love to have the flexibility to have a slightly less obvious version that looks like a standard html link (like the Wikipedia BBcode hack provided for 3.0.x). This is a minor request, though.

Second request would be for the preview popup you mentioned on the first page.

Great hack!

Use the Replacement code beneath and the Wikipedia links will be shown like normal links.

PHP Code:


			
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{param}" target="new">{param}</a>

Yeah, I actually realized this after posting. Lazy thinking on my part. What I would probably need to do is create two buttons, one for this and one for a subtle inline version.

Yeah, yeah I didnt forgot you. :P When I have time I will modify the BBCode. If another developer likes to make modifications, he should feel free to do so.

My Wikipedia has stopped working in 3.6.4 in firefox browser 1.5.0.8

It mall formats the actual link. You can see an axample at the beginning of an existing post at http://www.physiobob.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3510

The first word was a link working perfectly until a recent upgrade. This might be a firefox issue or it might be a vbulletin issue. This is because I also have now seen that my plugin which does the same thing for adding utube plugins is also asking to install a plug to make it work!

I attach a screen shot of that as well for you interest in case it help to work out where the issue might be coming from

Looks like a Firefox issue. I visited your page some minutes ago and it worked well.

I like the "W" logo preceding the link but I modified it as follows to look better as an inline link:

Code:

<span style="background-color: #F5F5FF; border: 1px Blue; padding: 1px; text-decoration: none;"><img src="images/misc/wikipedia.gif" alt="Wikipedia reference-link" align="absmiddle" border="0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{param}" target="new">{param}</a></span>

See demo here. Change the background-color from #F5F5FF to whatever best suits your forum style.

If you want to omit the "W", just use this:

Code:

<span style="background-color: #F5F5FF; border: 1px Blue; padding: 1px; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{param}" target="new">{param}</a></span>

Update: I've decided I prefer it as a link without the "W" image too.

Quick question. Does this mod reference Wikipedia only?

If our web site has it's own wiki, would I be able to tie it into this site?

If you edit the plugin to reference your wiki instead of wikipedia, sure.

You could use [wikipedia] and [wiki] to differentiate the two.
