Can I suggest a feature that I have found extremely useful in this wiki

http://wiki.com.br/wiki/

All wiki page titles are automatically linked anywhere within the wiki. So a page title of 'java' will cause any word 'java' to automatically become a link to the Java page. Very nice.

Well SnipSnap has a similar feature which is [page_name_here] will link to a page called page_name_here within the wiki. In my opinion this is more practical, because the user explicitly shows that he - or she - wants to link to a page. Making a rule where: "X word is automatically linked if exists a page named X" seems to me a bit harsh. But I never used such feature in any wiki. It might improve user experience, but not really sure about that...
What about if I don't want a certain word actually linking to a page within the wiki? Is that possible also?

As a user do you find such feature actually useful?

Thanks for your input, hope to ear more from you soon. Best Regards,

Paulo

There is something I thought of recently, as a categorization scheme:

the weblog-macro includes the parameters

1: amount of posts to show 2: the actual weblog snip (optional)

How about having a list of weblog snips to grab the items from. With this mechanism, you could have several weblog (already supported) with a subset of them syndicated e.g. on the start snip. If an editor then clicks on the "post blog" link, he should be presented with the choice to actually post his entry to one of the configured weblogs.

Another small point would be to redirect edits of weblog entries to the weblog entry form and not the general snip editing (=> separate field for title).

If I can migrate to your version of SnipIt, I'll try to work on that.

Where do you see your version in contrast to the newly launched SnipSnip project on sf.net?

Hello Michael,

First of all thank you for your input smiley

Well the idea you're suggesting seems interesting. But maybe I that would be a new macro called "weblog-agregator" instead of the actual weblog.

Regarding SnipSnap I've already sent an email to the owner of the project, Angelo AKA aos in snipsnap.org, saying that I would be interested in a merge of my version with SnipSnip but, I haven't received any reply yet.

Hi again,

so far, my data runs with your source, although we'd need a Tomcat upgrade now :)

What I'm missing is the LDAP authentication that I patched into the system - will do that again. Some of the Core Technologie stuff is great, too: http://www.snipsnap.org/space/Core+Technology

Is there a general overview what changed from snipsnap standard to your version?

I'm michaelk @snipsnap.org.

Hello Michael,

The link you pointed out looks great I didn't know about those improvements smiley

Regarding what changed in my version, I have no overview document but it's mostly oriented to blogging and the list of things in the top of this page kinda resume what I've been developing.
