Description
Almost all web browsers have abandoned Gopher; access to Gopherspace now requires a bridge – a Gopherduct.
The plugin allows easy access to your Gopherhole from within WordPress.
This is a Beta version. “It Works For Me”, but there are almost certainly bugs.
Features
Gopherspace
The Gopherspace URL is appended to the HTTP URL (e.g. /gopherspace/0/my/foo/bar.md) so you can link directly from HTTP-space.
Gophermaps are rendered as a table with some basic styling; in future this will change to allow better integration with themes.
Currently implements only the basics – File, Directory (local only), HTML.
Next up will be Images, then Search.
Markdown
Files with an .md extension will be rendered as Markdown – no configuration necessary!
robots.txt
Gopherduct doesn’t yet do anything clever with the Gopherspace robots.txt file; for now, please remember to adjust your WordPress robots.txt file to preserve any exclusions etc.
Installation
Gopherduct requires the cURL PHP extension.
- Install the plugin (plugin directory, zip upload, shout at your webmaster, whatever)
- Create a page with the slug
gopherspace(technically it can be anything with the right slug, but for most themes the page template is most suitable) - Add the shortcode
[gopherspace hole="my.gopher.hole"](note the lack ofgopher://)
Specify your own Gopherhole – it is extremely impolite to send unannounced visitors to someone else’s Gopherhole!
