Write a simple wiki backend that uses Django and reads .txt files formatted in MediaWiki syntax with double brackets around hyperlinks. It then displays them to a web browser in HTML.

Write a Django program that reads MediaWiki markdown files stored as filename.txt (e.g. home_page.txt) and displays them in HTML. Only need the double bracket feature of MediaWiki syntax. Convert each double bracket to a hyperlink. (e.g. home page reads home_page.txt)

Redo it with the project name not as wiki_project but as DjangoWiki. Instead of DjangoWiki use DjangoWiki.

To create a Django application that reads MediaWiki markdown files and converts them into HTML with the double bracket feature transformed into HTML hyperlinks, you will need to perform the following steps:

Here's how to accomplish these steps:

Step 1: Setting Up a Django Project

First, ensure you have Django installed. If not, you can install Django using pip:

```bash

pip install django

```

Create a new Django project and navigate into the project directory:

```bash django-admin startproject DjangoWiki cd DjangoWiki ```

Step 2: Create a Django App

Generate a new app within your Django project:

```bash python manage.py startapp DjangoWiki ```

==Step 3: Write the View

In your app directory (`DjangoWiki`), update the `views.py` to include a view that processes the markdown files:

```python from django.shortcuts import render from django.http import Http404 import os import re

def wiki_page(request, page_name):

   # Determine the filename from the page name
   filename = f"{page_name}.txt"
   file_path = os.path.join('path_to_your_files', filename)  # Specify the correct path to your markdown files
   try:
       with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
           content = file.read()
       # Convert [[double brackets]] to hyperlinks
       content = re.sub(r'\[\[(.*?)\]\]', lambda m: f'{m.group(1)}', content)
   except FileNotFoundError:
       raise Http404("Page not found")
   # Return rendered HTML content
   return render(request, 'DjangoWiki/wiki_page.html', {'content': content})
```

Step 4: Create URL Configuration

In the `DjangoWiki` directory, create or update the `urls.py` file:

```python from django.urls import path from . import views

urlpatterns = [

   path('wiki//', views.wiki_page, name='wiki_page'),
] ```

Make sure to include this app's URLs in the main project's URL configuration (`DjangoWiki/urls.py`):

```python from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [

   path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
   path('', include('DjangoWiki.urls')),
] ```

Step 5: Write the Template

Create a template file `wiki_page.html` in `DjangoWiki/templates/DjangoWiki/`:

```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>

   Wiki Page
</head> <body>
   
{{ content]] | [[safe }}
</body> </html> ```

This setup will allow you to navigate to `http://localhost:8000/wiki/home_page` to view the processed HTML of `home_page.txt`. Make sure your media files are stored in the specified directory and that you run your server using:

```bash python manage.py runserver ```

Adjust file paths and other configurations according to your project setup.


GitHub Repo

https://github.com/AzureCloudMonk/DjangoWiki

From the PowerShell command line, how to connect this folder D:\all\Coding\Python\DjangoWiki to my GitHub repo at https://github.com/AzureCloudMonk/DjangoWiki. Want to pull down the README.md and the .gitignore file and merge it into the existing files that are already at D:\all\Coding\Python\DjangoWiki. Then push the merged changes back up to https://github.com/AzureCloudMonk/DjangoWiki.

To connect your local folder `D:\all\Coding\Python\DjangoWiki` to your GitHub repository and perform the operations you've described, you'll need to follow several steps from the PowerShell command line. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Navigate to Your Project Directory

Open PowerShell and change to your project directory:

```powershell cd D:\all\Coding\Python\DjangoWiki ```

Step 2: Initialize Git Repository

If you haven't already initialized a Git repository in your local project directory:

```powershell git init ```

Step 3: Add Remote Repository

Add your GitHub repository as a remote repo to your local repository:

```powershell git remote add origin https://github.com/AzureCloudMonk/DjangoWiki.git ```

Step 4: Pull the Specific Files from the GitHub Repository

Before pulling the files, you might want to ensure that your local branch is correctly set up to track the remote branch, typically `master`. First, fetch all branches from the remote:

```powershell git fetch origin ```

You may need to set up a local branch that tracks the remote master branch:

```powershell git checkout -b main origin/master ```

or if you already have a local `master` branch:

```powershell git branch –set-upstream-to=origin/main main ```

Now, you can specifically pull the `README.md` and `.gitignore` files and merge them into your local files:

```powershell git pull origin master –strategy-option=theirs README.md .gitignore ```

Step 5: Resolve Any Merge Conflicts

If there are merge conflicts between your local files and the ones on GitHub, Git will notify you, and you will need to manually resolve these conflicts. Open the conflicting files in your favorite editor or favorite IDE, make the necessary changes to resolve the conflicts, and then save the files.

After resolving conflicts, add the resolved files to the staging area:

```powershell git add README.md .gitignore ```

Step 6: Commit the Changes

Commit your changes to your local repository:

```powershell git commit -m “Merged README.md and .gitignore from remote repository” ```

Step 7: Push the Changes Back to GitHub

Finally, push your local changes back to the GitHub repository: ```powershell git push origin main ```

Additional Considerations

This guide assumes that you're working with the default branch named "master". If your branch has a different name (like “main”), replace `master` with your branch name in the commands.

Chat 'ChatTitle(text=Creating a Simple Wiki Backend with Django, isCustom=true)' (e050aba7-3107-41bf-a003-ac0e82680ec1)

Context: You are working on project that uses Python Python 3.12.3 language., Installed packages: [pip]..

User: Write a simple wiki backend that uses Django and reads .txt files formatted in MediaWiki syntax with double brackets around hyperlinks. It then displays them to a web browser in HTML.

Assistant:

Sure, here's a simple way you could start to approach this. I need to clarify that Django is not pre-installed and managing Django along with its dependencies is beyond our scope. However, I can give a brief outline and code snippets on how to solve this problem in Django.

In your Django project, begin by setting up a new app for your wiki:

```bash python manage.py startapp wiki ```

Then, add some code to models.py for your text files:

```python from django.db import models

class WikiPage(models.Model):

   title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
   content = models.TextField()
```

In views.py, you could handle the rendering of the pages like so:

```python from django.shortcuts import render from .models import WikiPage

def wiki_page(request, title):

   page = WikiPage.objects.get(title=title)
   context = {'content': process_content(page.content)}
   return render(request, 'wiki/page.html', context)
```

Where 'process_content' is a function that processes the MediaWiki formatted text into HTML:

```python import mwparserfromhell from django.utils.html import escape

def process_content(content):

   wikicode = mwparserfromhell.parse(content)
   def make_html_link(node):
       if not node.title.filter_templates():
           html = '{}'
           return html.format(node.title.strip(), str(node.title.strip()))
       return str(node)
   wikicode.replace("]]", "").replace("[[", "")
   content = str(wikicode.filter_through(make_html_link))
   return content
```

The Django views must be linked to a URL in urls.py file.

```python from django.urls import path from . import views

urlpatterns = [

   path('/', views.wiki_page, name='wiki_page'),
] ``` Finally, you'll need a template file 'wiki/page.html' where the content is displayed:

```html <h1>

</h1> <p>

</p> ```

This is a simple and effective way to create a wiki backend using Django and parse .txt files from MediaWiki syntax while offering HTML for the web browser.

Please note that you need to install `mwparserfromhell` library for parsing mediawiki documents, you can install it using pip:

```bash pip install mwparserfromhell ``` For this to function well without errors, all titles in your WikiPage model must be unique. Otherwise, the `WikiPage.objects.get(title=title)` query might throw `MultipleObjectsReturned` exception. Also, the same will raise `DoesNotExist` exception if a page doesn't exist.

Please, let me know if you need more help!
