How are aliases handled?

[DutchPete]

Let's say I have a page called Page-1 with an alias pager. If I type Page-1 anywhere, then as soon as I hit enter, then Page-1 get automatically converted into a wikilink [[Page-1]].

I would have thought that if I type pager and hit enter, then pager would automatically gets converted into a wikilink [[pager]]. But it does not.

Sure enough, if I myself type [[pager]] it is a link that when clicked on takes me to the page called Page-1.

But I do not want to have to remember to type the square brackets myself; in fact, it requires me to remember all the aliases I have created, and that's not possible - I thought Automatic Linker does that for me.

So, what am I missing?

Aliases are catered for but the first time I put an alias on a page say PageA with an alias of myfirstpage and then referred to the alias in my journal and used Cmd P to parse the line it did not pick it up however when I left the journal page and returned and tried it again it worked so it may be a caching issue. Other than that glitch aliases are working fine

aliases are working fine

So, what is wrong with the way I expect the plug-in to work as I describe above?

[adxsoft]

I tried your example in 9.15 and it works so don't understand your issue

I just reinstalled the plug-in, and this is what I get:

Every letter is transformed into a wikilink! Someone opened an issue for this, so others have experienced this too.

I just installed the plugin and using 9.15 on Mac which seems to work. I can't check it out on mobile as no plugin support. Hopefully Sawney can get the problem sorted out. Only thought I have is do a re-index which will rebuild any indexes and see if that fixes it. Success!

I don't if Sawney is still working on this anymore, seems like it has become abandonware. I uninstalled it.

[adxsoft]

That's a shame .. let's hope he picks it up again. It's my favourite plugin

I agree it is a good plug-in, in principle. It was 1 of the 1^st I installed when I started using Logseq. Alas ……

[adxsoft]

Btw .. what platform are you using?

macOS 13 Ventura.

[adxsoft]

I'm on Mac too so I'll see if I can recreate the weird output. If I can recreate it I'll have a go at finding the bug 🙂

@adxsoft thanks. Have a look at issue #62.

[adxsoft]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I'll have to come back to this to figure out exact reproduction steps, but I created a page yesterday measurements and an alias measurement. Upon typing measurement in a journal entry today, it was not linked, however it did auto-link when I added the s to the word.

Navigating to the measurements page and back did nothing... actually it may be capitalization related. Just making some notes for now, will come back when I have time to properly troubleshoot.

I opened this issue 8½ months ago and the dev has not stepped up once, so I guess my Sep 10, 2023 assessment of this plugin being abandonware was correct.

[adxsoft]

This was fixed. I sent a fix to the author and he re issued the plugin which I installed and works perfectly fine.
