LinkIcons

LinkIcons are an optional new feature of PhpWiki. When activated,

icons will be displayed in front of URLs to indicate the type of link.

  • LinkIcons

    • http link

  • LinkIcons

    • generic internet link

  • LinkIcons

    • InterWiki link

  • LinkIcons

    • https link

  • LinkIcons

    • mailto link

  • LinkIcons

    • ftp link

    Note: Some of the default icons use the alpha channel feature of

    the PNG | image format

    for smooth rendering on any page color or textured background. Older

    browsers may not display all the images properly.

    Examples

    The following examples will display with the above link icons only if

    the administrator has enabled this feature.

    InterWiki links

  • InterWiki link PhpWiki:InterWiki
  • A named InterWiki read WhyWikiWorks at c2.

    • URLs

  • Email address PhpWiki-talk mailing list
  • Normal http link PhpWiki's Home Page
  • Secure http link PhpWiki's Home Page
  • File transfer ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/

    • ''A generic icon is shown for other less common link types.''

  • news://nntp.news.com
  • gopher://gopher.caltech.cmu.edu

    • LinkIcons will only display when the URL protocol is one which PhpWiki

    is allowed to link to. The following examples won't show any icons and

    PhpWiki won't automatically provide double-clickable links either,

    unless the administrator adds them:

  • bogus://oedipus.nostradamus.com
  • bolo://lgm.cheshire.org

    • PhpWikiDocumentation
