Feedback on SpacedWikiWordPlugin

-- MartinCleaver, ArthurClemens

I have updated the plugin with a number of features/fixes:

• Now uses TWiki core space out function, so TWiki is no longer spaced out as T Wiki
• Links in bracket notation are now spaced out as well
  • [[WikiWord][See WikiWord]] has an explicit link label: is not spaced out
  • [[WikiWord]] has no explicit link label: is spaced out
• Support for underscore topic links
  • [[Greenhouse_gasses]] will be spaced out to Greenhouse gasses
• %SPACEOUT{}% can be called on underscore topic links as well
• Anchor dashes are removed: [[#SeeAbove]] is rendered as See Above

I was getting an error that TWiki::Func::spaceOutWikiWord does not exist, so I replaced the #else newer by a real else statement.

Thanks for the call. I've updated the plugin.

I've tweaked the regexes a little so SomeDNSConfig will display as 'Some DNS Config' instead of 'Some DNSConfig' by adding the first line:

    $linkLabel =~ s/([$upperAlphaRegex]+)([$upperAlphaRegex][$lowerAlphaRegex$numericRegex]+)/$1$separator$2/go;
    $linkLabel =~ s/([$lowerAlphaRegex])([$upperAlphaRegex$numericRegex]+)/$1$separator$2/go;
    $linkLabel =~ s/([$numericRegex])([$upperAlphaRegex])/$1$separator$2/go;

-- WadeTurland - 20 Sep 2007

The regexes are in the TWiki Core code (TWiki.pm).

-- ArthurClemens - 20 Sep 2007

I haven't found the regular expressions in TWiki.pm, but in lib/TWiki/Plugins/SpacedWikiWordPlugin.pm.

-- FrankSpangenberg - 24 Sep 2007

These are deprecated and will not be called by the plugin with TWiki 4.2.

-- ArthurClemens - 24 Sep 2007

With the additional regex from Wade TWiki gets spaced out, even if I add it to DONTSPACE.

-- FrankSpangenberg - 25 Sep 2007

To be able to have 'override' twiki words where you can get TheTopicName rendered as The TopicName, add the following to initPlugin in SpacedWikiWordsPlugin.pm

my $overrideWords = &TWiki::Func::getPreferencesValue("OVERRIDE")
     || &TWiki::Func::getPreferencesValue("SPACEDWIKIWORDPLUGIN_OVERRIDE");
   $overrideWords =~ s/ //go;
   @overrideSet = split( ',', $overrideWords );

And the following to renderWikiWordHandler before the line that returns $linkLabel if its in $dontSpaceSet

#return override value
   foreach my $word (@overrideSet)
   {
      my @values = split("=", $word);
      if (@values[0] eq $linkLabel)
      {
        ($result = @values[1]) =~ s/\+/ /g;
        return $result;
      }
   }

Then use the setting OVERRIDE in the SpacedWikiWordsPlugin preferences in format TheTopicName=The+TopicName (where '+' is where you want the space). Seperate any others using commas as normal.

I've also added a comment to BreadCrumbsPluginDev to add code to it if you want your breadcrumbs spaced using this plugin.

How do I apply this plugin to WebSearch?

-- TamsinTweddell - 15 Apr 2008

I have now found a solution to my problem: modify the template search.pattern.tmpl such that %TMPL:DEF{"result"}% has %TOPICNAME% replaced with %SPACEOUT{%TOPICNAME%}%
