Redmine

The regular expression part itself is easy, I'm more interested in how to retrieve/iterate the wiki content and return it after replacing.

Sorry for bumping but I really like to get this fixed :)

Someone? anyone?

I got to the point where I have the following code:

require 'redmine'
require "/opt/redmine/app/models/wiki_content" 

Redmine::Plugin.register :redmine_wiki_confluence do
    name 'Redmine Wiki Confluence plugin'
    author 'Author name'
    description 'This is a plugin for Redmine'
    version '0.0.1'
    url 'http://example.com/path/to/plugin'
    author_url 'http://example.com/about'

    WikiContent.all.each do |post|
      post.text = post.text.gsub!(/important_data/, "nonsense")
      post.save
    end
end

It's supposed to replace important_data with "nonsense" but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

You should use a plugin if you want a permanent behaviour. What you did is only triggered once, when redmine is started.

• either you can backup your DB, replace the word in the dump, then restore it
• either you can open a ruby script/console and do something like you did, but replace the gsub! with gsub

If you want a permanent thing, then it's a bit more complicated, you should first read the plugin doc in the wiki, then you might be able to use Rails callbacks to achieve your goal in a plugin...

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

What I want to achieve is that it basically replaces certain patterns. The idea is to make a plugin that supports the Confluence wiki markup, as that is what I'm using 90% of the time at work. How would you tackle this?

Thanks,
Dennis

Anyone, please? :(

Wiki syntax formatting has been made extendable by plugin since of #2025, you will find an example plugin here : https://github.com/yugui/redmine_rd_formatter

As for the reprocessing of preexisting wiki text, you should follow Jean-Baptiste advice.

Hi Etienne,

Thank you for that example. However, it seems overly complicated for what I try to achieve. I'd like to transform the regular external link to accept link macros in the form of [text|http://url.com]. Any suggestions on a simple way to do this?

Apologies for being such a n00b,
Dennis

You need to find a way to insert your own parsing method after :parse_wiki_links the [:parse_inline_attachments, :parse_wiki_links, :parse_redmine_links, :parse_headings] array in ApplicationHelper#textilizable (source:app/helpers/application_helper.rb#L450).

• Allows links to be made in the form of [text|http://url.com]
• Allows page links to made in the form of [Page] and [Page|Title]. The difference is that it doesn't use double square brackets.

If you're interested in doing this, let me know via email at 9daftvy4whf04mp@jetable.org (junkmail redirect service). Please be sure to include your PayPal address as well.

Thanks,
Dennis

So what was the result?
Is there anything reusable?

Thanks,
