relativens plugin

This plugin is a remake of relativelinks plugin. This does basically the same thing, but is implemented in a more subtle way. It also tries to handle media.

Download and install the plugin using the Plugin Manager using the following URL. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

This code assumes php5 because of the preg_replace call - it has one argument too much for php4. To get it working on php4, change

$match = preg_replace(array('/^\{\{/','/\}\}$/u'),'',$match, 2, $isMedia);

to

$match = preg_replace(array('/^\{\{/','/\}\}$/u'),'',$match, 2);

To let it work more proper with media in php4 nevertheless, also change

       // See which one we caught
        $isMedia = preg_match('/^\{\{/', $link);

        $isMedia = 0;

To

       // See which one we caught
        $isMedia = preg_match('/^\{\{/', $match);

        // $isMedia = 0;

I'm not sure what all this implies, but it seems to be working here.

Allthough using this fix, other plugins that use the media link format (like { { mp3play>your:link:here } } ) seem to loose their trigger and get displayed as a normal media link.

I have also noticed some weird behaviour with media links…

I think I can see why that “mp3play” link would not work. The plugin assumes that:

• Only “internal links” should be “relativized”
  • Links with special syntax like “mp3play>” are not considered”internal links”
• Except, that all media links are considered “internal”

Then I think it proceeds and mucks up that mp3play> prefix by inserting ./ at the wrong place

The code that mangles the link to be relative should be made more sensible, or the assumption that media links are always relative should be removed…

I'll try to fix this and the php4 compatibility next time I need to hack our internal wiki…
