Wow, you actually did it.

So basically what does this function do before I test it on the server? Does it add the "Wiki" bbcode? Don't you need to edit some files in the Wiki as well to make it work?

[Hark]

It isn't bbcode, really. It's a regex replacement.

Simply put, it scans the post for "[[something]]", (or the other version, the [[something|something else]]) then replaces all instances of that with the URL bbcodes which then get parsed later on in the function. It's a fairly straightforward implementation.

So when it finds a post like [[fishing]] it will see replace the double brackets with [url]http://www.mabiguru.com/wiki/index.php?title=fishing[/url]. Then the [url] bbcode gets picked up by the forum code and turned into links like http://www.mabiguru.com/wiki/index.php?title=fishing (as if it had been typed in directly).

I honestly can't really explain how it works short of pointing you to a couple regular expression tutorials :x

[Itchy]

Amazing, now I saw the code and see your point. Looks good!

Will be testing in a few..

[Itchy]

Ok let us try it..

http://www.mabiguru.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fishing

It seems like it changes the whole URL to the wiki URL. Maybe we could apply some conditions and make the link appear like an ordinary link.

[Hark]

Ack, I'm a retard. In the first preg_replace, change

'[url]http://www.mabiguru.com/wiki/index.php?title=$1[/url]'

to

'[url=http://www.mabiguru.com/wiki/index.php?title=$1]$1[/url]'

and that should do the trick. Also, it's really weird that it didn't show [[fishing]] when I quoted your post - instead it showed the bbcode. I have no idea why it would do that (unless your post was made with the bbcode rather than the [[]]-syntax :P)

EDIT: Huh, when I edit my own post it shows [[fishing]]. lulz.
Yay

[Itchy]

It seems like it's case-sensitive.

[Hark]

What do you mean? I think MediaWiki might be case-sensitive with respect to article names, but I can't quite remember.

* tests fishing, test

I'm sure the updated regex is right.

Err, nevermind.

fishing and Fishing

EDIT: Works now, can we have the output text in bold? Or maybe we can add a small image beside the word to indicate that it's a wiki article. Is it possible to add the conditionals in the class_bbcode file?

+rep to you Hark!

[Hark]

lulz, according to this, MediaWiki is case-insensitive with respect to the first letter of article names (since it forces the first letter to always be upper-case), but case-sensitive with respect to the rest of it.

So fishing = Fishing != FISHING.

Thanks a ton for implementing this, I'm really happy to finally see a forum which actually supports easy linking to it's own wiki
