Release Evopedia

[mcobit]

Ah, I'll have another look at this. Thanks!

As stated by Darkknight512 in the comments the repo, you can use any browser with evopedia, just start evopedia and your favourite browser and point your browser to the following address while evopedia is still running:


http://127.0.0.1:8080

By the way, why is the evopedia output visible at this particular URL ? What does evopedia do exactly ?

It looks like evopedia starts its own webserver at port 8080. 127.0.0.1 is localhost, the address of your own computer in a network. So when you enter the address in the browser, the evopedia server reacts by retrieving the desired data from the database, generating all the equations as images and an html page from the data and delivering it to your browser.

Interesting - so if you could redirect the webserver to another port, you could actually run a mirror of wikipedia available through internet (at least of the dump of wikipedia that you have) using evopedia ?

Yes, that should work. As long as the Pandora accepts traffic on that port from outside you could access it directly, for example like this (my pandora's address on my home network):


http://192.168.1.35:8080/


But I just tested it and it can't connect, that port is probably firewalled by the pandora OS and I don't know how to change that right now.

I made search plugins for German and English evopedia dumps, this should make using it with compatible browsers like Firefox much easier:

You mean you just need to install these plugins and you can search evopedia directly from the search field as long as it's running? If possible can you make a french and japanese plugin as well ?

 

[Lafazar]

Yes that's exactly right. As long as the Evopedia window is running you can use this to search from any browser that supports search plugins. Since Evopedia uses the same address/port in all versions I have used so far, it should work on desktop versions of evopedia as well.


I just made a French and Japanese one. Try them out and tell me if they work correctly.

If anyone wants to do another language, it's become really easy to do your own search plugins:


1. Either install this add-on and right-click on the evopedia search field displayed when you visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 (remember to select the language first in the dropdown menu on the right).


https://addons.mozil...-to-search-bar/


2. Or go to the "Create/Submit Plugin" page on Mycroft and load the settings from plugin number 46186 (that's the english Evopedia one). Then just replace all occurences of 'en' with the language code you want, press "Generate Plugin", test if it works correctly and then submit it.


An awesome addition would be if search suggestions (matching words appear below while you're typing) could work correctly, but that feature needs to be added to the evopedia server by the evopedia devs.
