Hey all

I am coding my own wiki for my new site. At the moment i can make new wiki (if the tag does not exist) and i can edit posts.

Now what i want to be able to do is is say a user in the wiki posted [[text]] it will return as a link to the wiki tag.

How can i make this happen? how can i make [[text]] turn into <a href='wiki.php?tag=test'>text</a> ?

thanks all

The only thing i know about wiki is wikipedia. I've never done anything but read articles on wiki sites, but i would assume changing [[text]] into a link, would run the same as bbcode. Do a search of the database, and you'll come up with something.

will do thanks

the tutorials on ur website dont help

well basically i am told i need to make a bb code.

For example.

"This is my [wiki] entry on my website"

how can i get [wiki] to equal: <a href='wiki.php?tag=wiki'>wiki<­ /a>?

With php you can do:

<?php
echo preg_replace("/\[(.*)\]/", '<a href="wiki.php?tag=$1">$1</a>', 'This is my [wiki] entry on my website');
?>

Haven't tested it but it should work.

As far as i know, i don't have any bbcode tutorials on my website. And i can't say why you were looking there, but heres a link to what i was telling you to look at.

Although, if you don't feel like sorting through that list of tutorials, i believe halopr0's code should work just fine.

p.s. Please don't triple post, use the edit button.

I've never seen a triple post before...
And I think he thought that Pixel2Life was your website..
