[alfredo]

Attached is a simple Wikipedia auto complete workflow.

For those like myself who prefer scripting in Python, the following class makes generating feedback easy

-View/Download: http://d.pr/f/GMO8

 

Example Usage:

from alfred import Feedback
fb = Feedback()
fb.add_item("Hello World", subtitle="Simple Greeting")
fb.add_item("Foo", subtitle="Bar", icon="foobar.icon", arg="foobar")
print fb

 

Enjoy

Very nice, thanks!

Cool, Never tried Python for Alfred extensions/workflows, looks tempting though.

Very nice, thanks!

 

I added another Open URL action and set the it to open articles in my native language, Danish. Then, I added this as another action for the script filter and assigned a modifier key to it so I can choose to open the article in English or Danish. Just though I would share this "tip".

Thanks mate. For somebody starting to dabble in python, these workflows are awesome. Great learning resource.

 

Cheers,

The problem with this approach is that if the article in your language has a different name it will not work. 

I added a second workflow and modified the python to search the articles in dutch. Both workflows use the same keyword. This will give you results in both languages. The only issue with this approach is that I'm getting 2 dutch results on top, then several english results and afterwards the dutch results continue.

That's right. If the articles haven't got the same name, my approach will not work.

 

I have modified your Feedback class a bit to also set the 'valid' and the 'autocomplete' options. I hope that's all right. I have uploaded it here.

[viticci]

Thanks, working really well here. Great idea.

[segphault]

Thanks! Great workflow, but I especially appreciate your Python class for generating the XML. That's very convenient. :-)

[simonbs]

I have updated Peter Okmas Feedback class to set "valid" and "autocomplete" on the item. Read more about this here.

 

You can download the updated class here, if you want it.

[alfredo]

Thanks simonbs for keeping my Feedback class up to date.  I've uploaded the file (with your changes), and my workflows to github.  I should be adding more workflows and utilities to that repository as soon as I have some free time.

Hey is there a working alfred workflow file 

 

This link http://d.pr/f/no3O is dead.

[morphorod]

Where is it? All the links above are dead. Please bring it back.

[freddybushboy]

Yep, thanks - this looks brilliant but the above links aren't working

[Teodin]

Uhm, I would kinda like to use this, but I couldn't extract it from github so it would work. Could you please upload a proper .alfredworkflow?

[gingerbeardman]

Yes, please.

[ChrisHumphreys]

Would love to use this workflow but the download link is dead

[mixterdee]

Like others I want this but all above links are dead

[Teodin]

Just look here: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1005-wikipedia-workflow-alternate/

[bargepole]

Please post a link to this workflow. I am not interested in the alternative, I don't want to type "w en" as the prefix rather than just "w".

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

 

A bit of a late reply, but it really is excruciatingly easy to change the behaviour of that alternative workflow so that you don't need to type the Wikipedia language code. There are instructions in the first post of the thread and in the script filter itself. Just add your preferred language code to the last line of the filter. For English the line would look like this: python w.py en {query}

Links don't work anymore.
