PR tags

[wblock@]

With more developers appearing on the forums, there have been more references to PRs. Many forum-only users have no idea where they are or what they mean.

Could a tag be added so PR references would be links?

[pr]ports/148250[/pr]

or

[pr]148250[/pr]

would both link to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/148250

The CGI seems to work with either the pr= set to category/number or just the number.

Number should be enough: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=148250

I'll toss it to the admins.

Yes, it'll work either way. Should make programming and using the tag easier.

I'll toss it to the admins.

Thanks!

The same would be useful for manpages.

What do you mean? Man pages can already be referenced using [man][/man].

[graudeejs]

or with pman tags, if you want to refer to ports man page

 

[lme@]

Ooops, nevermind then.

The same would be useful for manpages.

Tsk! lme@!

[man=4]em[/man] -> em(4)
[pman=8]portmaster[/pman] -> portmaster(8)

 

[SirDice]

We all have a brainfart from time to time

I like the PR option btw :e

Works with and without the PR category, so PR 148250 and PR ports/148250 will both work.
