ReferrerMarkup
<< | Cookbook-V1 | >>
Note: The recipes here are for PmWiki versions 0.6 and 1.0 only. For PmWiki 2.0 recipes, see Cookbook.
Goal
Add markup that creates a link to the referring page.
Solution
Add the following lines to local.php:
$DoubleBrackets['/\\[\\[\\$Referr?er(\\s+.*?)?\\]\\]/'] =
'[['.@$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER'].'$1]]';
Discussion
Sometimes an author will want to provide a link back to the page that referred the user to the current page--similar to the "Back" button available in most browsers. The above lines add [[$Referer text]] markup to PmWiki; "text" is displayed as a link to the referring page. For example, the markup [[$Referer back]] results in $Referrer back?.
For historical reasons the HTTP_REFERER header is in fact misspelled ("referer" instead of "referrer"), so it may be useful to allow both spellings as done above.
