Hello, I have started to develop a Moinmoin wiki extension for Firefox. The extension will act as a 'bookmarks toolbar' but the bookmarks will come from a moinmoin wiki. Each wiki page will be a folder on the toolbar, and each hyperlink under the pages will be 'bookmarks'. So far I have managed to get a wiki page and pull the links to other pages out and then display them as separate folders on a tool bar inside Firefox.
Features I plan to implement: * Selectable root wiki page for toolbar * Storing of a list of 'favorite' root wiki pages * Nested folders (wiki pages to other wikis... including recursive pagelink structures) * 'Live' folders through dynamically populating bookmarks user GUI events * Drag webpages onto a folder, adds the link to the underlying wiki page * right click folder options: 'goto page', 'set page as root', 'open all in tabs' I would like to ask for help/advice on the following areas in addition to any general advice/ideas (e.g gotchas, watch out for this, this is the simplest method todo X is Y)? 1 - How should I update a wiki page with a new hyperlink? I have found the python script "editmoin" and had a look at the source and it seams that it sends a text string back to the url. The text string seams to contain special fields like 'ticket', 'version' etc. Is this the correct method to update a page? Is there any particular fields I especially need (considering I just want to append a hyperlinik)? 2 - I am currently accessing a wiki pages data by fetching the page by looking at body/div"page"/div"content" and then pulling all anchors out of this section. Is this a 'nice' way todo this and will this work on all moinmoin page layouts etc (sorry im not that great on html). Also is there better ways to access the data? (some special way to get direct XML or anything like this??? 3 - How in should I manage logins to the wiki? I currently ignore this and have a "open" wiki without users whilst I develop but I plan on making this a fully functional extension so I will need this later. Are ssh/ssl certificate things possible and would this appear as "transparent" to my extension? Or will I have to store user name and password (I would prefer not todo this for security) Thanks in advance, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
