WordPress Extend
== Description ==
Create internal Wiki-style links in your WordPress blog. Easy to use and once you’ve started you won’t be able to live without it. Simply put [[ and ]] around a post title and it will link to the post in your blog. Also supports [[Post Title|This is a link to a post]] style tags.
== Installation ==
1. Upload `hq-interlinks.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory or automatically install from the dashboard.
1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in the WordPress Dashboard.
= How do I use it? =
Simply put [[ and ]] around a post title within your post or excerpt and Interlinks will turn it into a link for you. You can also use the more advanced wiki style [[Post Title|This is a link to a post]]. If a link is red then the page doesn’t exist.
== Screenshots ==
1. How it looks on the editor site.
2. The post with links. Link one is red because the page doesn’t exist.
== Upgrading ==
Simply delete the old one, upload and activate or automatically through WordPress.
Interesting. Are you by any chance also planning to attach a Wiki/Glossary style page support for this?
Let me explain: Let’s say I create a page called Glossary. This page would then have child pages with glossary entries. The parent page would become an index of these child pages automatically.
There is a plugin which sort of does this. Unfortunately it adds the links you describe automatically -everywhere- as well, which comes with its faults. I think your idea of manual insertion of such links is far, far better. It just lacks the other feature to be ‘perfect’.
Either way I am sure I will find a good use for this, thank you for sharing!
Hiya, it’s an interesting idea but aren’t there a zillion and one child page plugins? WordPress makes listing child pages easy though this template tag. So perhaps your suggestion is more of a generalised blog thing as opposed to a purely wiki idea? I’m not overly familier with the wiki format though, so I’m willing to learn. Thanks for your input :)
