Script-GeneratedImages

Question

How can we include an image pushed by a script (like a counter) in a wiki page?

Answer

Two ways: the safe one and the quick one :)

Quick

e.g.

 http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=1&type=5&xxx=.png

That simply adds a new, bogus parameter to the GET part of the URL and fools the wiki parser into seeing images.

Safe

However, some scripts may be picky about what parameters they will accept. In that case, create a special markup in local/config.php for each kind of script-generated image - see example for (:sf:) below:

 
Markup('sf', 'directives', '/\\(:sf:\\)/e',"Keep(\"<img
src='http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=1&type=5'/>\")");

Markup('googlesearch', 'directives', '/\\(:googlesearch:\\)/e',"Keep(\"
<FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.de/search'>
<TABLE><tr><td>
<A HREF='http://www.google.de'>
<IMG SRC='http://www.google.de/logos/Logo_40wht.gif' border='0'
ALT='Google' align='absmiddle'></A>
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=20 maxlength=255 value=''>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden name=hl value=de>
<INPUT type=submit name=btnG VALUE='Google Search'>
