• Ability to easily add file resources (specifically images) to the content.

    By Andrew Luke 2 decades ago

    I wrote this mod for the WikiPage class convertSingleBrackets function.



    '** [image:filename_id!!filename.ext left|right] should become an <img> tag to a file resource within the database



    'This !! syntax is used for entering image resources (images contained in resource documents)

    'If present we need to extract specific information from the string, see above for syntax

    intLoc1 = Instr(newText, "!!")

        <br/>
    

    If intLoc1 <> 0 Then

    'Get the filename id (eg TheFriendlyName) and the specified filename (eg AttachedImage.jpg)<br/>
    'With this we need to generate the image url eg/PATH TO DATABASE/WebFiles/KEY/$File/FILENAME<br/>
    'WebFiles - is the view containing the image documents<br/>
    'Key - is the filename id<br/>
    'Filename - is the image filename with extension<br/>
    intLoc2 = Instr(newText, &quot; &quot;)<br/>
    fileID = Mid(newText, (Instr(newText, &quot;:&quot;)+1), intLoc1-7)<br/>
    If intLoc2 &lt;&gt; 0 Then<br/>
        fileName = Left(Strright(newText, &quot;!!&quot;), Instr(Strright(newText, &quot;!!&quot;), &quot; &quot;)-1)<br/>
    Else<br/>
        fileName = Mid(newText, intLoc1+2,  Len(newText)-intLoc1-2)<br/>
    End If<br/>
    imagePath = Evaluate(|&quot;../webfiles/| &amp; fileID &amp; |/$file/| &amp; fileName &amp; |&quot;|)<br/>
    leftText = &quot;image:&quot; &amp; imagePath(0)<br/>
    rightText = Strright(newText, &quot; &quot;)<br/>
    

    Else

    leftText = Strleft(newText, &quot; &quot;)<br/>
    rightText = Strright(newText, &quot; &quot;)<br/>
    

    End If

    • Further more... links.

      By Andrew Luke 2 decades ago

      Attached code adjusted slightly to also file links.



      Public Function convertSingleBracket (txt As String) As String



      ' special single-bracket cases

      '
      [http://example.com linkname] should be converted to a link

      ' [file:filename linkname] is a link reference to an attached file

      '
      [file:filename_id!!filename.ext linkname] is a link reference to file in a resource document

      ' [image:filename left|right] should become an <img> reference

      '
      [image:filename_id!!filename.ext left|right] should become an <img> tag to a file resource within the database

      ' remove any brackets that may have snuck in there

      newText = Trim(Replace(txt, "[", ""))
