Altering com_content

[dageshi]

I would like to alter the underlying storage of content from it's current implementation to one of wiki markup, aka all content exists initially as wiki and then gets converted either on the fly or is cached in another table, would the correct way to do this be to alter com_content? Are there any other ways of grabbing content directly from the db in joomla or do all roads lead to com_content?

From looking through the source I believe this would work, however I presume I'd need to write a different editor in order to edit the wiki code on site.

To put it in context, I have written some software for windows mobile which implements a mini wiki/tagging system, you write a description of a location in wiki format and this is synchronised to a server when you have an internet connection. I'd like to be able to display that content in joomla and allow editing in it's original wiki format.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as to how to go about this.

Cheers.

sure you can just grab the content from table jos_content and output it any way you like.

the great thing about that is that you can search on the fly.

I don't know about the wiki-editor. never seen it.
