Add Wayback Links

Flutterby™! : New Feature

New Feature

2025-07-10 04:29:42.089591+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

At the request of a reader, I've added a new feature. On the upper right of Flutterby pages, there's now an "Add Wayback Links" checkbox. If you check it, you'll get a little Internet Archive icon that's a link at the end of external links, to take you to the Wayback Machine for that link. It sets a little cookie (hopefully). Might be some wonkiness on it remembering the state and rendering from the state.

Additional ideas coming, I should probably try to get a notion of when the entry happened into the link, maybe I'll turn it on automagically for older links...

All <cite>ed text will point to the Flutterby knowledge base. Two enters (ie: a blank line) gets you a new paragraph, special treatment for paragraphs that are manually indented or start with "#" (as in "#include" or "#!/usr/bin/perl"), "/* " or ">" (as in a quoted message) or look like lists, or within a paragraph you can use a number of HTML tags:

p, img, br, hr, a, sub, sup, tt, i, b, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, cite, em, strong, code, samp, kbd, pre, blockquote, address, ol, dl, ul, dt, dd, li, dir, menu, table, tr, td, th

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
