Title: Omnimaga introduces calc wiki search BBCodes and others
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 13, 2011, 12:04:41 am
Since last night, a new mod was installed on the website to allow us to setup custom BBCode tags. This allowed us to give you a new feature on the forums: WikiTI, TIBD, Inspired-Lua, DCS Wiki and Hackspire BBCodes. A few other BBCode tags were added as well. Here is the list with examples:

[wikiti]string[/wikiti] [wikiti]Calculator_Documentation[/wikiti] Links to the specified WikiTI page

[!wikiti]string[/!wikiti] [!wikiti]ports[/!wikiti] Links to the WikiTI page of the specified name, or if none exists, opens results containing that word

[tibd]string[/tibd] [tibd]for[/tibd] Links to the specified TI-BASIC Developer wiki page

[!tibd]string[/!tibd] [!tibd]text sprites[/!tibd] Links to the TI-BASIC Developer wiki results containing the specified word

[hackspire]string[/hackspire] [hackspire]User_FAQ[/hackspire] Links to the specified Hackspire wiki page

[!hackspire]string[/!hackspire] [!hackspire]grayscale[/!hackspire] Links to the Hackspire wiki page of the specified name, or if none exists, opens results containing that word

[lua]string[/lua] [lua]cursor.hide[/lua] Links to the specified Inspired-Lua wiki page

[!lua]string[/!lua] [!lua]keys[/!lua] Links to the Inspired-Lua wiki results containing the specified word

[dcs]string[/dcs] [dcs]features[/dcs] Links to the specified Doors CS wiki page

[!dcs]string[/!dcs] [!dcs]xlib[/!dcs] Links to the Doors CS wiki page of the specified name, or if none exists, opens results containing that word

Besides that, a new video embedding tag was added for Nico Nico Video website. Please remember, however, that their site is hosted in Japan, so we won't demo the tag here, to avoid slowing down the front page too much. The syntax is [nico]videoID[/nico]. Unlike [youtube], you don't type the entire URL, you just type something like [nico]853983[/nico].

In the future, more tags might be added to the website, although try to not flood the suggestion section with bbcode requests, as this will slow the team down in site management. :P

UPDATE: Thanks to juju, you can now embed videos from Vimeo as well: [vimeo]videoID[/vimeo]

And now Wikipedia: [wikipedia]string[/wikipedia] [wikipedia]Calculator gaming[/wikipedia]
And even foreign Wikipedias: [wikipedia=language code]string[/wikipedia] [wikipedia=fr]TI-83 Plus[/wikipedia]

The Wikipedia link layout is different than the calc wiki ones to keep calc wiki links uniform.

Lua, WikiTI and DCS Wiki! Very nice, it works on all Wikis, such as Hackspire?

I think this is pretty cool.

Added.

[prizm]string[/prizm] [prizm]Syscalls[/prizm] Links to the specified Casio Prizm wiki page

[!prizm]string[/!prizm] [!prizm]clocks[/!prizm] Links to the Casio Prizm wiki page of the specified name, or if none exists, opens results containing that word

Seems pretty fun. Possibilities are infinite with this custom BBCode mod.

No PrizmWiki? :'(
The reason why I didn't add it is because the wiki is still down on my side (DNS hasn't propagated properly yet) and as a result, I was unable to grab the specific URL for both search and pages. Thanks juju for adding :)

Also Juju thanks for the additions. Let's make calc wiki links style similar to each others, though, if we add more.

Hey, I noticed XKCD and some other new tags. Awesome.

EDIT: [xkcd=404]404[/xkcd].

EDIT2: This is harder, but what about one that parses the actual XKCD page looking for an image file and inserting that image, hyperlinked to the XKCD page? That's what I usually do when I post an XKCD comic, and it takes a while by hand. I realize it's a lot harder than these other link mods though.

By the way Juju did you make icons for WikiTI and Hackspire? It might be nice maybe to have some for Prizmwiki Axewiki and stuff, although as long as the main wikis are up I guess it's fine.

I can make some icons if it's needed. Just ask me and I will try :)
