I have this code now:
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

I get the following error message:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

I tried the following, the try you see above is the last one, before that I tried:
echo '<li><strong>' . htmlspecialchars((string)$tag) . '</strong>: ' . getWikiIntroParagraph( $tag->name );

and

echo '<li><strong>' . htmlentites((string)$tag) . '</strong>: ' . getWikiIntroParagraph( $tag->name );

Don’t know what happened. Even if I put
echo $tag;

before the line, I got no result and the same error message. Any ideas?

Thanks. Had a look at the page before I posted here. but didn’t recognize the PHP-array-function:
https://php.net/manual/de/language.types.array.php

And even if it has the same function I don’t know how to use it nor do I think it could work out like it should. Means: I need to use get_the_tags, via arrays I need to seperate them and then – maybe with foreach – process every single tag and put the $singletag into an url, for example:
https://www.foo.org/foo?$singletag/somename
and than I need to use strip_tags on what I get from the URL and then display it via echo / print.

I have no clue at all how to do it. But I heard it isn’t that difficult. You use, I need code or more exact instructions what I need for this and furthermore help if I doesn’t get it the right way. I don’t know how to use all the stuff to get it the right way. Only thing I knew is to start php code and end it and do some echo / print things. If it comes to functions, brackets and whatever I am lost. So any further help and step(s)-by-step instruction are more then welcome.

Ok now I don’t just add the_tags instead of Pink Floyd I did this:

$ptags = the_tags();

and put it in place instead of Pink Floyd. But doesn’t change anything. OK it will be displayed but the same way as Tags usually will be displayed not as a wikibox.

So now it looks like:
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘wikibox_summary’ ) ) wikibox_summary( ‘$ptags’ ); ?>

But doesn’t help me.

Anyone? Please!?

I am now using the wikibox plugin and via shortcode I could put every summary in the post I like but I still need it automatically because there already over 1000 posts in the blog and it won’t be great to extend them all manually.

So I need an alternative version. Great. This code allows me to get a summary for the wikipedia article of Pink Floyd:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'wikibox_summary' ) ) wikibox_summary( 'Pink Floyd' ); ?>

If I put the_tags in the same place as Pink Floyd (instead of Pink Floyd) I don’t get anything. Not even an error message. Do have any idea how to handle this even if there are more tags than one?

Is it possible to get tags one after another and process one after another with file() to readout the article(s) like get 100-150 words from https://en.wikipedia.org/tagone, https://en.wikipedia.org/tagtwo etc.
and display it one after another

Tagone

Tagtwo

etc.

This is code I found. Now I’d like to know how to modify it to get the results I want. Summary of 100-150 words, based on tags – all of this automatically.

Any ideas?

Is it possible to get automatical output based on tags used in a post? I mean, each individual post gets automatically its wiki summaries based on the tages used. It must be summaries only (up to maximum 250 words, better 100-150 words), it should be in neat “boxes” between boxes should be at least two br-tags or one <p>-tag. Would be great if I just need to code to single.php so rest is automatically without adding shortcode in the post / page.

This is the code – i guess – that need the plugin WP-Wikibox to get summary from wikipedia.
https://pastebin.com/HR8A9pkr

How to change it to my needs?
-Only get 100, 200 or 250 words of the article.
-get tags from my post, get wiki articles’ summary
-do linebreak (br or p) and then add the next summary from a tag if there’s one.
-should be displayed in boxes.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Thank you! Guess it was confusing to see $catid instead of ‘catid’ so I thought it would be wrong to place it here.

Sure, mark it right away.

One more thing if you don’t mind: order by post title possible?

I see. The problem was a plugin named Ultimate Category Excluder. Thanks a lot. Runs fine.

If it’s the same slug WP stops me from creating another one, I need to add a number manually. But I can’t see a solution for my problem. Maybe more posts?

And, by the way does it matter if the both page and category aren’t visible for visitors but still published? They’re just excluded from the menu.
