create useful infoboxes based on GND-IDs and enriched with data from Wikipedia!
See the demo at www.bilder-der-revolte.de
After page load wikibox looks for img-elements wrapped by an a-Element. It attaches a css and a data attribute:
<a href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4058171-8" class="wikibox-gndlink" data-gnd="4058171-8">
<img src="http://bilder-der-revolte.de/wp-content/plugins/revolte68/images/icon_gnd.gif">
</a>
If the user clicks on the icon_gnd.gif wikibox.js makes an AJAX request to a gndProxy instance that gathers data from DNB, Wikipedia and Wikidata. The results are parsed and according html-elements are created for your wikibox.
- jQuery
- a running gndProxy instance
- download the sources
- embedd wikibox.css into the
html-header - embedd wikibox.js into your
html-footer - you need to configure wikibox.js to let jQuery search at the correct location in your html-page.
