[Pmwiki-users] Further information on accesskeys

[Christian Ridderström]

Hi

While configuring for pmwiki 0.6, I've done some additional work on using 
accesskeys. Here's the relevant code from my config.php:

First the code that redefines the wiki commands:

$PageLayoutFmt['wikicmds']=
   "\n    ".FmtAccessLink('$ScriptUrl/$[$Group/RecentChanges]',
		          'Recent changes', 'C').
   "\n    ".FmtAccessLink('$PageUrl?action=print','Printable view','P').
   "\n    ".FmtAccessLink('$PageUrl?action=diff','Page history','I').
   "\n    ".FmtAccessLink('$PageUrl?action=upload','Upload file','U').
   "\n    ".FmtAccessLink('$PageUrl?action=edit','Edit page','E');

where FmtAccessLink() is used to produce a A-tag as follows:

// Return HTML-code for an A-tag with an accesskey
function FmtAccessLink($url, $txt, $key){
  // Define mb_strto... these are needed if PhP < 4.3.0
  if(!function_exists('mb_strtoupper')) {
    function mb_strtoupper($s) { return strtoupper($s); }  }
  if(!function_exists('mb_strtolower')) {
    function mb_strtolower($s) { return strtolower($s); }  }

  $pos = strpos($txt, mb_strtoupper($key));
  if($pos === false) $pos = strpos($txt, mb_strtolower($key));

  if($pos !== false)
    $txt = substr($txt, 0, $pos).
      "<span class='accesskey' >".$txt[$pos]."</span >".substr($txt,$pos+1);

  return "<a href='$url' accesskey='".$key."' >".$txt."</a>";
}

This works fine for me, but it would be nice if it could be made to work
with the translation mechanism (which I don't know how it works). In an
ideal situation I guess that any accesskey should be defined together with
the translated message?
