A jQuery Plugin for Wikipedia and Other Wikis. All you have to do is call it on an element and Wikiblurb will populate that element with data from a wiki...
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#article').wikiblurb();
$('#otherWikiArticle').wikiblurb({
wikiURL: "http://fallout.wikia.com/",
apiPath: '',
section: 0,
page: 'Fallout',
removeLinks: false,
type: 'text',
customSelector: '',
callback: function(){
console.log('Data loaded...');
}
});
});
</script>Below is a listing of options your can set....
| Option | Value | Default Value | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| wikiURL | String | "http://en.wikipedia.org/" | The base URL of the wiki you want to get data from with trailing slash included | wikiURL: "http://fallout.wikia.com/" |
| apiPath | String | "w" | Any additional path needed to be added to properly get data from the API (no slashes). Wikipedia uses "w" but often this will be an empty string for other wikis. | wikiURL: "" |
| page | String | "Jimi_Hendrix" | The name of the wiki page. | page: "Brazil" |
| section | Integer or null | 0 | The section of the wiki you want to get data from. The entire page of content will be returned if section is set to null. | section: 4 |
| removeLinks | Boolean | false | Setting this option to true will return just text data and will not have any links present. | removeLinks: true |
| type | String | "all" | Possible values are "text", "blurb", "infobox", and "custom" | type: "infobox" |
| customSelector | String | "" | If the type setting is set to "custom", then this is the selector that Wikiblurb will look for | customSelector: ".mw-class" |
| callback | Function | function() { } | Callback that executes after data has been successfully loaded | function() { alert("Data loaded..."); } |
