Wikipedia Extension (MaxVersion Reupload)



Description

Need help with Javascript:
Displaying only the {div id="content"}-area from the Wikipedia page of the artist. Currently reviewing some javascript solutions, but none works with content from remote pages.


Contents:
Displays the printable Wikipedia entry in the bottom content pane from en.wikipedia.org OR de.wikipedia.org for the artist currently playing in Songbird.
Links are still clickable, but not underlined nor coloured!



Language/Sprache/Langue:
Please choose Version "a" for German OR "b" for english!
Bitte wählen Sie Version "a" für Deutsch ODER "b" für Englisch!
S'il vous plaît choisir la version "a" pour l'allemand ou "b" pour l'anglais!



Maintainance and functionality :
If you have any wishes (perfectly: and you know how to do it), I will have a look at it.


Reasonable ideas:
please do not wait for these to come OR show me how to do it OR do it on your own and I will add it immediately):

  • Option to run in a seperate tab instead of a pane
  • Option to only run in the library tab, currently runs in all tabs open
  • Option to choose Wikipedia language
  • Please choose Version "a" for German or "b" for english! I found a workaround to change language: its in the directory-structure: "chrome" - "content" - "wikipedia.js": search for url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" + escape(keyword); and replace "en.wikipedia.org" with "de.wikipedia.org" for german or "fr.wikipedia.org" for french. Just follow the specific wikipedia language-code.

I'm not the author!
Use it at your own risk!

If you tell me what to do and how to do it, maybe I can maintain this add-on. ^^

Alizée!

Hey Marco, you just made my day with that screenshot =)
Though you didn't have to delete the rest of the songs from it! They are all superb!

Artist   Title            Time    Album
----------------------------------------------------------
Alizée   Moi...Lolita     4:27    Gourmandises
Alizée   Loi ou Toi       4:18    Gourmandises
Alizée   L'Alize          4:18    Gourmandises
Alizée   Gourmandises     4:15    Gourmandises
Alizée   Amélie M'a Dit   3:48    Mes Courants Électriques

How did I do? :p

@Gh0sT: ^^
I suppose the my lovely programm did merge the white objects into the picture, but rather left a layer with the objects in the file
or
you just love Alizée too much and therefore the visible rest was enough for you to recognize the tracks.

Ah I see the last option is the right one :P
My Data tells me:

Artist Title Time Genre Differenz:
----------------------------------------------------------
Alizée Moi... Lolita 4:27 New Age (" ", blank is more)
Alizée Loi ou Toi 4:18 New Age
Alizée L'Alizé 4:19 New Age (é) Time difference
Alizée Gourmandises 4:15 New Age
Alizée Amelie M'a Dit 3:51 Pop (é is missing) Album has only "E" and not "É", time difference

But hej: Nice try. You got me *top*

Excellent extension, thanks to all who have made and amended it.

Only missing a couple of options for my money.

1) to run in a seperate tab instead of a pane
2) to only run in the library tab, currently runs in all tabs open

@2friars:
1+2) reasonable options. Problem is: I'm not very much into Songbird coding. If you know how to implement these options (f.e. looking into source code of similar extensions), I would try to implement it. Else I'm too busy with studying and preparing for exams.

great addon, but it would be great, if there was an option to switch the language
Does someone know, wich configuration data has to be changed to change the language?

@linux4ever:

I found a workaround to change language:
its in the directory-structure:
"chrome" - "content" - "wikipedia.js":

search for

url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" + escape(keyword);

and replace "en.wikipedia.org" with "de.wikipedia.org" for german or "fr.wikipedia.org" for french. Just follow the specific wikipedia language-code.

If Songbird plays a song from "Hans Zimmer", then it opens with default settings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Zimmer

@Marko: Thank you! Works!

But for the future it would be great to make, that the wikipedia logo and all the frames are invisible!

to accomplish this, I need help with Javascript:

Very helpful add-on.

Thanks to Marko trying to fix the Javascript problem.
In between from me a simple trick to switch between wp-languages (English - Deutsch - Français – Italiano – 日本語) – Nederlands – Polski – Português – Русский – Español ...)
- choose the English add-on cause the en-wp has the most artist entries
- scroll down wp-window to the end where you find the usefull link "Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[artist]
- click this link to get the full en.wp-window
- choose language you like (if artist appears in this wp, too)
