When building actionlinks for 'admin', 'login' etc. don't forget ~~NOCACHE~~

Basic syntax:

{{actionlink>[action]|[title]}}

Where action can be one of this (after inc/template.php):

• edit - edit/create/show
• history - old revisions
• recent - recent changes
• :recent, /recent - recent changes from the root namespace
• login - login/logout - if ACL enabled
• index - the index
• admin - admin page - if enough rights
• top - a 'back to top' link
• back - a 'back to parent' link - if available
• backlink - list of backlinks
• search - focus on the search field
• purge
• subscribe
• addtobook
• cite
• infomail
• export_odt
• export_pdf

(Of course, for these last commands to work, those plugins should be installed.)

The title element is optional. It lets you specify a custom string to be used instead of the default 'Edit this page', 'Old revisions', 'Recent changes', etc.

For example, syntax like this:

You can easily {{actionlink>edit|customise}} this page.

Will produce an output like this: 'You can easily customise this page', where 'customise' is a link to the 'Edit page' page.

Syntax like this:

{{actionlink>edit}}

Will simply create a 'Edit this page' link.

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

This is my first DokuWiki plugin ever, so please, be gentle — nowotny 2006-05-26

Wouldn't it be easier to call tpl_actionlink and capture the output?
e.g.

ob_start();
tpl_actionlink(...);
$renderer->doc .= ob_get_clean();

— Christopher Smith 2006-05-26 15:54

Probably… but you wouldn't be able to change the 'title'(caption…? whatever you call it… ). — nowotny 2006-05-26 19:17

Fair enough. There are a couple of ways you could do it, but point taken. — Christopher Smith 2006-05-28 14:28

You can (now? or always possible?) set the linktext via the tpl_actionlink-function. Exchange the following code with the original render-function an you benefit to all changes in the tpl_actionlink function

function render($mode, &$renderer, $data)
{
  if($mode == 'xhtml')
  {
    if(!empty($data['title'])) $title=$data['title'];
    if(!empty($data['action']))
    {
      $action=$data['action'];
    }
    else
    {
      if(!isset($title)) $title='';
      $renderer->doc .= $title;
      return true;
    }
    if(isset($title))
    {
      ob_start();
      tpl_actionlink($action,'','',$title);
      $renderer->doc .= ob_get_clean();
    }
    else
    {
      ob_start();
      tpl_actionlink($action);
      $renderer->doc .= ob_get_clean();
    }
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

I'm new to all this, but what would the syntax be when changing the tpl_actionlink function code? — Randy 2008-12-14

The feed.php page returns a missing function error unless inc/template.php is included at the top of the plugin code, otherwise, great little plugin. Thanks!

require_once(DOKU_INC.'inc/template.php');

Not sure if this plugin is still maintained but is it possible to add a manual link to the search function in this plugin too?

to add purge, I put following in front of the “default:” fallback:

                        case 'purge':
                                if(!isset($title)) $title=$lang['btn_purge'];
                                $renderer->doc .=$this->tpll_link(wl($ID,'purge=true'),$title, 'class="action purge"');
                                return true;

— Hella 2006-10-26

I got a small problem with actionlink>recent (with httaccess rewrite) : it keeps the current page in the URL, resulting in a partial recent changes (it is limited to the current namespace). E.g. on the page http://mydokuwiki.com/namespace/page, {{actionlink>recent}} points to http://mydokuwiki.com/namespace/page?do=recent, which show recent changes only for the namespace namespace. This also cause the actionlink>index to unwrap the current namespace, but this is less of a problem.
– Fousage

Will this become fixed? Dakkar

This situation happens to me as well. I don't want to change the code, but do you have any solution for this? Something like this would be great: {{actionlink>:recent|Recent Changes}} in this way, we could use the actions for the namespaces. – Luis Nabais

Is there any way to implement subscription link with this plugin?. Thanks.
Manuel Munoz

Insert this code into the function “render” :

case 'subscribe':
  if(!isset($title)) $title=$lang['btn_subscribe'];
  $renderer->doc .=$this->tpll_link(wl($ID, array("do"=>"subscribe"), false, "&"),$title,'class="action subscribe"');
  return true;

When building actionlinks for 'admin', 'login' etc. dont forget

~~NOCACHE~~

otherwise (ha!) the page will be cached with authentication infos of the last user editing the page.

Maybe other actions depend on not being cached too…
