Re: Automatic Acronyms
Yes, actually, that is very similar to what I was looking for. I just noticed that the acronym’s don’t update unless you resave the file, as well. Not a big deal for acronyms, as they dont change too much. :) That would probably not be too good for managing links though. I’m not planning on changing the links often, but there will ba a lot of references to them (couple hundred).I don’t want to have to resave all the files to force the update of the links. Is there any way to process the output prior to display, rather than prior to the save? I’d like to use something like CamelCase, but the braces would be fine.
edit
actually, now that I think about, I rather like the idea of the braces better.

Re: Automatic Acronyms
I just had a thought, Would it be possible to have the TXPiki point to a link in the links section by an id#? I seem to remember from a while ago that you can recall links by an id#. I was thinking something that allows you to specify a keyword for a link, in addition to the URI, description, etc. That way, you can update the actual link seperately of the id#, and not have to resave all the pages to force updates?

The biggest problem would be what would happen if you changed the title of the link? Then your title would be out of sync, but the link would still work.

Fair enough, but wouldn’t the link text be the TXPiki word, and the link itself referenced by the id? What about an extra field for a link, instead of an extra page? something like Title, Sort Value , URL, Link category, and TXPiki word?
The links generated for output could refer to the id, allowing the link to be updated, for ease of maintenance. All the information would be managed from a familiar interface, removing the possibility of syncing issues. Would something like that work/be feasible?

Re: Automatic Acronyms
I’m not sure if this qualifies as an acronym per se, but is there a auto-replace function in Textpattern? Like, for every instance of “blah” replace it with “xxxx” – for example?

Re: Automatic Acronyms
It would be great if this plugin is available as a pluigin (with the introduction of Admin Side plugs). Is it possible?

Re: Automatic Acronyms
I’d have to think about it more, but right now I don’t forsee it as being possible. The hack is just a replacement Textile. Though I could probably make it so you could add/remove/edit acronym’s from the administration page. But not now.

Re: Automatic Acronyms
That would be fantastic if/when you find the time. Where <em>does</em> all of our time go? I have the same problem ;)

Re: Automatic Acronyms
A while back I made a mod that allowed the acronyms to be created/edited from the admin side of things. This mod can be easily altered in to an admin plugin, but you are still left with the inability to make the necessary textile changes without modding.

If anyone has the time to make this a plugin, feel free.

Re: Automatic Acronyms
Just wondering has anyone got a copy of this plugin that they can link to because the links above dont seem to be working, thanks.
