Remote Wiki Transclusion

External Wiki Page Transclusion

Use this code on a page of your own wiki ---

{{
web.xml("http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/@api/deki/pages/="..uri.encode(uri.encode("Sandbox/Remote_API_Test")).."/contents?mode=view&format=xhtml&testparam=parameter",
"/content/body")
}}

Pass Arguments And Use Them

Test ability to use __request.args remotely.

{ include : "contents" }

This is my test !

Why Not Web.HTML()?

Symbols like > < & (anything HTML encoded) seem to have an issue when using web.html().

What's With Pictures?

This image probably doesn't show up remotely in your wiki, due to the src path getting interpreted as a local @api call.

Insert an image and change the src from relative/local @api to an external address.

<img src="http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/yupko/fMAIucxfrI.jpg" alt="lolcatz" class="external default" />

Modifying Source-Wiki Internal Links or Other Text

Link Test

Treat the page as text, then use string.replace() to change localized wiki-links or other text if need be.  With earlier web.xml() remote transclusion, local links will still have the source wiki as the server.  Do the following DekiScript to change it... and Link Test should now reference your wiki.

{{
web.xml(string.replace(web.text("http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/@api/deki/pages/="..uri.encode(uri.encode("Sandbox/Remote_API_Test")).."/contents?mode=view&format=xhtml&testparam=parameter"), "http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com", "http://yourserver"), "/content/body")
}}

Accomplish the same thing with images or other files.  Try this to fix the image inserted above...

{{
web.xml(string.replace(web.text("http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/@api/deki/pages/="..uri.encode(uri.encode("Sandbox/Remote_API_Test")).."/contents?mode=view&format=xhtml&testparam=parameter"), "src=\"/@api", "src=\"http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/@api"), "/content/body")
}}  

Probably don't want the local wiki treating a page that is from another wiki as if it were local/editable...

{{
web.xml(string.replace(web.text("http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/@api/deki/pages/="..uri.encode(uri.encode("Sandbox/Remote_API_Test")).."/contents?mode=view&format=xhtml&testparam=parameter"), "class=\"editable\"", ""), "/content/body")
}}

Roll everything together.  Create an array of the text rewrites to be processed and then run through with a foreach loop.  Careful on the rewrite order; things like the image src path could get ruined by doing it in the wrong order.  This fancy example places them in a <div block> statement to do all the calculations... nice and easy to turn into a parameterized template too.

<div block="var string_replacements = [ [ 'http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com', 'http://yourserver'], [ 'src=&quot;/@api', 'src=&quot;http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/@api'], [ 'class=&quot;editable&quot;', '']];
var page_text = web.text('http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/@api/deki/pages/='..uri.encode(uri.encode('Sandbox/Remote_API_Test'))..'/contents?mode=view&amp;format=xhtml&amp;testparam=parameter');
foreach ( var rep_pair in string_replacements ) { let page_text = string.replace(page_text,rep_pair[0],rep_pair[1]); }" class="remote_wiki_trans">
{{ web.xml(page_text, "/content/body") }}
</div>

Create a parameterized template based on earlier <div>.

Test the template:

{{ template.RemoteWikiPage{ p_path: "User:Anbrcyp/Remote_Wiki_Transclusion/Remote_Template_Test", server: "http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/", p_parameters: [ {name: "testuri", value: "URI encoded $%^&#@ values"}, { name: "testdoubleuri", value: "URI double-encoded"..uri.encode("$%^&#@").." values"} ] } }}
