Provide wiki syntax in posting

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Yep, there were some messages here in jforum.net related to this functionality some time ago. It would be great if we could get some help on it.

Hi Rafael,
I know you're kind busy on the karma, bookmark, and attachment now. This feature is just a special code handling on post showing page.

Currently, wiki is popular for collaboration work, like document writing.
I'm thinking that can JForum support wiki syntax for posting topics. Then we can provide the documentation working for JForum, etc.

Are there any "hooks"(i.e. a Java interface which must be implemented) where I can exchange the default (phpbb based synatax?) rendering engine with a wiki rendering engine?

Hi

I've written a patch (see attachment) for current CVS version to enable a Wikipedia like syntax for the Plog4u wiki engine.
It's currently only available through CVS module: org.jzonic.yawiki.wikipedia
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/plog4u/org.jzonic.yawiki.wikipedia/

Some of the BBCodes are already supported by the engine, additional to the wikipedia syntax.

Additional syntax highlighting is supported for java, xml, javascript, c#, php.
Enclose your java code for example into <java>...</java>.

To enable the wiki link syntax to an external wiki you must add something similar to the following coding in the processText() method:

Properties wikiSettings = new Properties();
        		wikiSettings.setProperty("wiki_url", "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/");
    			wikiSettings.setProperty("image_url", "<path to image base-url>");
  text = filter.filter(text, filterContext, wikiSettings);

A lot of these syntax examples should work (if enabled like the wiki links above):

Example JForum with wiki syntax support installation:

Please "Enable HTML in a new message" if you would try the syntax highlighting feature. I.e.

<java>
.....
</java>

Rafael, could you give some tips, how I can make a specific forum look more like a wiki view? I.e.
* all registered user should be allowed to edit the first entry in the thread.
* all other entries in the thread should be diplayed in a "discussion" view.
* every thread must have a unique "name" in the wiki forum

And how can I use a specific forum for a "news"view"? I.e.
* the recent 10 threads of the news forum should be shown with an "excerpt" of the first entry.
* an Image for the news topic might be nice
* all other entries in a news thread should be diplayed in a "comments" view.

If anyone already has imlemented such things please let me know, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel
