Extension talk:Link Suggest

Wow! Brilliant idea! I'll try give it a bash on my wiki this coming weekend when I have some free time and let you know how i get on!

Generic version of this extension
I will probably use this extension as a model/prototype for a translation function, some day soon. Initial thoughts reagrding this are:
 * About translate extension
 * WikiGenericScript prototype/study

Please if you can provide with any insight as to how things could be done a bit more generic, using Ajax/CCS - help would be appreciated a lot. --Asset 18:23, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Extension:GoogleTranslate is now working for FireFox, while not for IE :( --Asset 11:11, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Focus
I suggest giving the search box "focus" each time +LINK is clicked, so you don't have to click in the box manually.

Just add:

document.getElementById( 'link_search_input' ).focus;

immediately above:

x.onkeyup = function{ LinkSearchCall;

More dynamic while editing
I'd like to see the suggestion list pop up when the user types "Maiden taiwan 20:49, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

An extension with this function exists, it's called LinkSuggest and is by Inez Korczyński. The code is available here; I can't get it to work under my MediaWiki though, probably because it's a Wikia extension. You guys have more luck? Thanks! Hywel 11:29, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * This sound interesting. Is it currently activated on wikia.com? If so, how can I trigger it? When I just type "Matsch 14:40, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It's working with me here (you may need to be registered, and the option enabled in preferences), just type Hywel 23:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm coding the Kanor 15:02, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Done. I requested commit access to upload the new version. You might like to see it working in my site: Subtrama.net. However I don't really like the Kanor 17:20, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Adding a "Section" tool would be great
This tool is really helpful ! Thanks for it.

Another great improvement would be to add a way to dig for Section within the article !

Bugfix
I had to change the query to look like this (notice the CONVERT(page_title using latin1) part):

$res = $db->select( 'page', 'page_title',   array( 'page_namespace' => 0, "UPPER(CONVERT(page_title using latin1)) LIKE '%". $db->strencode( strtoupper($term)) ."%'" ),   array( 'LIMIT' => $limit )    );

Reason is that page_title is defined as varbinary and UPPER is ineffective on binary strings.

Further development of this extension
Hi you all. As it seems the developer gave up the extension, I'm working on a new version. It is called QuickLink. Feature requests and bug reports are very welcome in the talk page.
