I did a bit of work on SimpleLink today, mostly cleanup and random features. SimpleLink is a that makes linking to things simple.

  • Added tag='rel' attribute to all text links, which allows semantic scraping by and .
  • Fixed img generation for product links for fixed-size images with overflow (fixed dimension thumbnails without scaling thumbnail).
  • Added search links with techo: and tag: targets, which generates links to Technorati searches and tag searches.
  • Added image linking with flickr: target, making it easier to embed to Flickr images on your site

I added a few features to my link plugin. I had been calling it MagicLink, but am thinking of changing the name to SimpleLink. People fear magic, even though it can be a lot of fun.

Here’s what can be done with Simple Links:

I hacked together a few plugins today to add support for the linking syntax. The first plugin, wikifier.php, adds support for double-square-bracket wiki links (to a default wiki, or the specified wiki. The second plugin, magiclink.php adds single-square-bracked external-wiki links and Google I’m-feeling-lucky, similar to my plugins for , which I plan to port in the next few weeks. For now, the plugins can be downloaded … sometime in the future, I’ll setup a wiki page for my plugins and hacks.

has a decent plugin system. It’s a basic callback registration system with priorities, and has many exposed function points. It’s a better approach than , mostly because the plugins can be ordered by priority (handy for text filters). It’s in though, which reminds me of my days working in GWBasic and DBase. seems so akward compared to , , and C++ (but it’s workable).
