The WikiWebService is a component of the planned [[WikiDocs]]. This component will display pages from the [[MusicBrainz Wiki|MusicBrainzWiki]] as uneditable webpages within the normal header, footer, menubar etc. of the [[MusicBrainz]] website. |
|||
The webservice has to check, whether the requested page is listed in the [[Moderated Revision Table|ModeratedRevisionTable]]. |
|||
* If it is, it pulls the last moderated revision from the [[MusicBrainz Wiki|MusicBrainzWiki]] and serves that inside a <div class="[[Wiki Docs Content|WikiDocsContent]]">. |
|||
* If it is not, it pulls the current revision of the page and serves that inside a <div class="[[Wiki Content|WikiContent]]">. |
|||
Additionally the webservice has to do a lot of [[WikiDocs Conversion|WikiDocsConversion]] stuff. Since that is quite complex, we will have to make very judicious usage of caching. |
|||
===Old /wd/ Mechanism=== |
|||
[[User:MatthiasFriedrich|MatthiasFriedrich]] explained me how the content of a [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] wiki page is displayed on the [[MusicBrainz]] [[Main Site|MainSite]]: |
|||
* When you request a page like [http://www.musicbrainz.org/wd/AboutMusicBrainz http://www.musicbrainz.org/wd/AboutMusicBrainz], the <code><nowiki>wd/AboutMusicBrainz</nowiki></code> is rewritten to a different URL: <code><nowiki>/docs.html?id=AboutMusicBrainz</nowiki></code>. |
|||
* The code inside of docs.html calls a mason component. This mason component loads a page via HTTP-GET from the [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] wiki that is located at [http://wikidocs.musicbrainz.org http://wikidocs.musicbrainz.org] (Note that this is the old and deprectated [[WikiDocs]], that can be edited at [http://wikidocs.musicbrainz.org/write/ http://wikidocs.musicbrainz.org/write/] (restricted access)). |
|||
* The mason component reads the wiki via the URL [http://wikidocs.musicbrainz.org/read/AboutMusicBrainz?action=content http://wikidocs.musicbrainz.org/read/AboutMusicBrainz?action=content] (restricted as well). |
|||
* some link rewriting is done with the requested content to fix problems with relative links. The the wiki returns some links like '[http:/page.html http:/page.html]' (relative links). These are rewritten to absolute links ([http://www.musicbrainz.org/page.html http://www.musicbrainz.org/page.html]) |
|||
* Finally the page is displayed on the website, inside ouf our usual framework (header, sidebar, footer). |
|||
==New /doc/ Meachnism== |
|||
* The webservice must differentiate between pages that are listed in the [[Moderated Revision Table|ModeratedRevisionTable]] and pages which are not listed, and serve the appropriate revision of the page. |
|||
* The url should be changed so something more meaningful, since most mb urls will have that form. I suggest [http://www.musicbrainz.org/doc/AboutMusicBrainz http://www.musicbrainz.org/doc/AboutMusicBrainz] . |
|||
The page about the (old) [[Wiki Docs Converter|WikiDocsConverter]] lists a couple of features that the web service will have to do now. |
