Adds explaining tooltips querying their content from a MediaWiki installation, e.g. Wikipedia.org.
Adds explaining tooltips querying their content from a MediaWiki installation, e.g. Wikipedia.org. Therefore shortcodes can be used in Posts and Pages to mark keywords and link them to public Wiki pages. The well-known package of Tooltipster is used to create the nice and themable tooltips.
Main features of the current version are:
- Setup at least one wanted Wiki base and several other options at a backend page
- Integrate the Wiki tooltip in Posts and Pages using a handy popup in Gutenberg editor or simple shortcodes
- Shortcodes can be created by a TinyMCE plugin, too
Sure, as long as the used installation provides an API structured like the API of MediaWiki it will work perfectly. You can use one of the public Wikipedias or setup your own Wiki URL.
Since version 1.4.0 the plugin provides the opportunity to manage multiple Wiki URLs! The wanted Wiki can be chosen via an attribute in the shortcode.
Yes, you can define extra CSS style properties that are used at all links to Wiki pages!
Since version 1.7.0 you can define a minimum screen width that is necessary to show the tooltips!
Since version 1.9.0 you can request a section by its title (anchor) using an extra attribute of the shortcode (section="anchor-of-section")!
