Bob, Murray and all --
While the TiddlyWiki plugin sounds like it is very convenient for
users, I don't see something like this being part of JSPWiki unless
the functionality is carefully constrained. In particular, the
capability to specify external URLs has "cross site scripting" written
all over it. ACLs would not be the answer, either -- you'd want to
create a custom Permission type for it, and have the right to use it
enshrined in the security policy.

Hi Bob,
may be interwiki links could help you with aliases? i.e., by default
typing
[Google:Bob], should be converted to http://www.google.com/search?q=Bob
.
Check both jspwiki.properties (Interwiki links section, lines
615-650) and
http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/InterWiki
regarding the custom footer, as Janne said, you can implement your own
PageFilter or extend BasicPageFilter to add your custom markup
(overriding
preTranslate method, for example). Another way could be using
InsertPage
plugin, available in the core distro. Initial code and some
explanations at

AliasPlugin is a type of marco feature that allows you to define new
plugins
on the fly. For example, I might define an alias called 'google'
with a
value of "http://www.google.com/search?q=$1";. Thus, whenever I put
in the
wiki markup "<<google jspwiki>>" (which is how you call a plugin in
TiddlyWiki) it will insert "http://www.google.com/search?
q=jspwiki". This
also works with wiki markup; I could use the aliasPlugin to insert
wiki
markup which is then interpreted by the wiki engine.
As I work on the wiki for my work, I find myself putting the same
footers
on
many pages, for example:
----
!!!Pages referencing me
[{ReferringPagesPlugin}]
It would be useful to define a macro that would resolve as this
text,
allowing me to redefine this footer without having to re-edit all
the
pages
that use it.
Does such a beast exist? If not, any leads on how to write it?
Bob,
Since aliases need to be global across the entire wiki you'd need a
manager to collect them as well as to flag conflicts (e.g., if a
user creates an alias that already exists, their plugin would fail
and return an error message).
The manager would be a singleton (for the wiki, not the JVM), and
there'd be a plugin to declare aliases. You'd then need some way to
use aliases, probably either a filter or a plugin that would access
the manager and obtain the replacement text.
You could (as with any plugin) restrict the creation of aliases to
certain people via ACL or only authenticated users).
You might look into the TagPlugin (which has a TagManager) as a
model.

http://www.altheim.com/ceryle/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=TagManager
I also note that John Volkar has donated an AliasPlugin to the set
of CeryleWikiPlugins
http://www.altheim.com/ceryle/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=AliasPlugin
though that doesn't do what you're asking for, just reverse the
current page alias feature available in JSPWiki, i.e., you declare
on the page its own aliases.
Hope that is helpful.
