Hi there, I'm building a somewhat unique Wiki that will involve me writing an extension that allows us to embed Flash content (ie. streaming video). We're doing research within the communication/media industry and need this ability. There are two specific issues I need to solve:
- First, and simplest, I'm having trouble writing out Flash object references ie. <object classid=..... as HTML. I'm wondering how I can get Wiki to ignore the fact that my parse function extension is giving it actual HTML to render and not just Wiki format? - The second issue I'm having is that we would like to format a specific data structure within a Wiki article and have the Flash application retrieve information from the article and parse it. The data is presented in the other article as a simple list ie. * Studio Name 1, 1980-1990 * Studio Name 2, 1980-1990 * Studio Name 3, 1980-1990 * Studio Name 4, 1980-1990 * Studio Name 5, 1980-1990 * Studio Name 6, 1980-1990 * Studio Name 7, 1980-1990 I'm wondering how I can extract that particular page for parsing by my Flash. My thought was simple to create a script within my extensions folder that spits out just the raw data from the Wiki page. So in essence when the page is loaded the Flash app would make a call to /extensions/myext/getarticledata.php?title=whatever here I have been poking around the MediaWiki articles on how to accomplish these types of things, but I can't seem to find a solid solution. I'm a beginner Wiki developer so some initial guidance would be super appreciated :-) Cheers and thanks!
