Autolinker

Created:

Want to skip the step of explicitly making a link for a URL? This extension will help.

Installation #

To try out the autolinker extension, you can do one of the following things:

  • Go to your Wiki Settings and add 
    <script src="https://feather.wiki/extensions/v1.8.x/autolinker.js"></script>
    to the "Custom Head" text area.
  • Save the autolinker extension file to the same folder as your Feather Wiki file and add 
    <script src="./autolinker.js"></script>
    to the "Custom Head" text area in Wiki Settings.
    • (This way requires that the autolinker.js file always remains in the same folder as your wiki file.)
  • Go to the source code for the extension, copy the code, and paste the whole script directly into the "Custom JS" text area in Wiki Settings.

What it Does #

Once you add your extension code, you will not be able to see the results until you save your wiki and re-load the file. When it's saved and reloaded, the autolinker extension allows you to paste URLs directly into your page without marking them up and turn them into clickable links using Autolinker.

Note: This extension requires a connection to the internet because it loads Autolinker from an external CDN. It is possible to modify the code to use a local version, but you will need to download the autolinker.min.js code and modify the extension yourself for that.

Version Compatibility #

This extension is only compatible with Feather Wikis that are version 1.8.0 and higher.
