link to non-existing page

    Hi,

    is it possible to create a link to a non-existing page in a simple way? Ideally, by clicking on the link, the user would be redirected to a page for the creation of the non-existing content.

    I’ve tried by inserting an hyperlink in the text editor and it sort of works. On the one hand, it can be difficult for non technical users. On the other hand, the editor for the creation of the non-existing page appears to be partially under the main sidebar and is impossible to use. Finally, the link to the non-existing page is not different from a links to an existing page, making it difficult to understand which pages are missing and which not.

    I’ve tried to use the “Wiki Page Links” plugins which works pretty well. However, instead of creating a new wiki page, it creates a normal wordpress case, which does not fit the case.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi,

    I’ve find a solution to use “Wiki Page Links” with wordpress wiki plugin.

    I edited file wikipagelinks.php of plugin wiki page links.

    First I modified line 118 from
    if ( $page = get_page_by_title(html_entity_decode($link, ENT_QUOTES) ) ) {
    to this
    if ( $page = get_page_by_title(html_entity_decode($link, ENT_QUOTES), $output = OBJECT, $post_type = ‘incsub_wiki’) ) {

    and then I modifiled line 128 from
    $content = str_replace($match, “{$page_title}[?]”, $content);

    to this

    $content = str_replace($match, “{$page_title}[?]”, $content);

    Now the Wiki Page Links plugins only works for wiki pages, not for normal pages anymore. However, for me it’s perfectly fine.

    Just in case someone is interested to this.

    Hi there @redsk,

    Awesome! Glad you were able to find a nice solution for that and thanks so much for posting the edit so others can utilize it.

    Another possibility, perhaps you might like, you can use the markdown features of Jetpack Markdown:

    There’s a helpful code snippet for integration with Wiki here:

    Hi @david,

    thank you for pointing that out. I’m going to get feedback from my users and maybe I’ll give a try to Jetpack Markdown.

    Cheers,

    Hi there Nico,

    You’re most welcome, glad to help! I have to admit, I really like the idea of full Markdown support myself and will be sure to mention it to the developers to see if that could maybe be built into the plugin.

    Just let me know if I can assists in any way though, will be happy to help. ??

    Cheers,
    David

    Hi guys,

    I was writing down some notes about the installation of my CMS and I noticed that part of my previous post is wrong. This is probably because I didn’t put the code in between backtics. Sorry for that.

    That’s the correct version:

    to this

    if ( $page = get_page_by_title(html_entity_decode($link, ENT_QUOTES), $output = OBJECT, $post_type = 'incsub_wiki') ) {

    and then I modifiled line 128 from

    $content = str_replace($match, "{$page_title}[<a href='$home/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=page&post_title=$encodedlink' class='nonexistant_page' title='Create this page (requires a valid \"contributer\" account)'>?</a>]", $content);

    to this

    $content = str_replace($match, "{$page_title}[<a href='$home/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=incsub_wiki&post_title=$encodedlink' class='nonexistant_page' title='Create this page (requires a valid \"contributer\" account)'>?</a>]", $content);
