Created for you by Sim Central

This extension allows the Game Manager to create tags that can be parsed into links in the views.

This extension requires:

• Nova 2.6+

Installation

• Copy the entire directory into applications/extensions/nova_ext_url_parser.
• Add the following to application/config/extensions.php: - Be sure the jquery line appears before nova_ext_url_parser

  $config['extensions']['enabled'][] = 'nova_ext_url_parser';

  Installation is now complete!

Setup

• Navigate to your Admin Control Panel
• Choose URL Parser under Manage Extensions
• Add, Remove, or Edit Tags.
  • Tag = The shorthand tag to allow the extension to parse. ex: wiki
  • URL = The URL to replace the tag with. ex: https://wiki.starship-ulysses.com/index.php?title=
  • Post URL = Optional Field to add a URL string after the unique tag value. ex: URL+TagValue+PostURL
  • New Tab = This checkbox will make the links open in a new browser tab.

Usage

• Simply add a tag and value to your Posts, News Items, Personal Logs, Site Messages, or Mission Descriptions.
• `[tag|value] or [tag|value|Title]
  • [wiki|Ulysses] = Ulysses
  • [wiki|United_Federation_of_Planets] = United_Federation_of_Planets
  • [wiki|United_Federation_of_Planets|United Federation of Planets] = United Federation of Planets
• If your website moves but the Unique Values stay the same all you need to do is update the URL in the tag to fix broken links.
