[Announcement] - Wanted: Plugin Developer

[eathan]

I need the plug into Sigil. Unfortunately, I am not a developer and I am looking for help and I want to outsource of preparing such a solution.
Below a short description of what I need.

The plug should permit:

- Epub file content analysis for the presence of links (those closed clickable tag a)

- Analysis should include a review of whether the link works and page responds or does not work, you must consider the possible diversion,

- If the website is acting no action,

- If the site does not work action is to swap the link:

<a href="http://www.onet.pl"> http://www.onet.pl </a>

on

http://www.onet.pl

In other words, we need to link a broken link and present it in normal text form. It should take account of the situation when:

<a href="http://www.onet.pl"> Cool page </a>

the description is not consistent with the value of the href. Then it should be what is in href.


- Regardless of what above, you can search the content of the text links that are not clickable, check to see if they work and swap them over
acting.

- It is necessary to remember that in epubs may be internal links - exapmle lead the text of the footnote at the end of the chapter. This we should not
delete.

At the end of yet another function:

- Black list of references - should be possible to create a list of links, that the machine will be converted to nonclickable. The list should be easy
edited. In addition, should give up enable / disable use this list.

Persons interested in cooperation please send your bids (time execution and price) on bartek.danowski[AT]gmail.com

Nobody is willing?

You might get a better response if you change the title of the thread. Your current title seems to indicate you are willing to write a plugin instead of actually looking for someone to write a plugin for you.

A better title might be:

Wanted: Sigil Plugin Developer

Then explain your project and how much you might be willing to pay. Another issue is that your example uses extermal website access. Not all ebook readers allow those in a book and ebook readers may not be connected to the web when read making external links useless pretty much. Also verifying links is pretty standard for most website checkers. Seems to me you don't really need Sigil to run broken link detecting software on a set of html files. Lots of standard software will do that.

You also may want to use Calibre instead of Sigil if you do decide to go ahead with your project as it has plugin and editing capability and has many more active plugin developers than Sigil does. Hopefully Sigil will eventually close the gap!

@Kevin - he can't do that, non-moderators cannot change their thread titles - so assuming you're still a Sigil mod...
