This site is constructed using:
- Mediawiki - for the core wiki infrastructure that allows collaborative editing and viewing of the content
with the following extensions added:
- MultiCategorySearch - to support searching for tunes over multiple categories
- NewArticleTemplate - to support inclusion of template content into the editor when creating new pages
- Newest_Pages - to display the latest pages (mostly tunes) added to the site
- Replace_Text - to let admins do bulk page edits when we change our mind on format :-)
It also relies very much on:
- ABC Javascript (abcjs) - an open source javascript engine for rendering abc formatted tunes as sheet music entirely in the browser
Integration of the abcjs package required a custom onBeforePageDisplay() hook to include and configure the required abcjs_plugin_2.1-min.js javascript package.
And management of the Tune classification tags is assisted by a custom EditPage::attemptSave hook that scans the abc notation of a tune page being saved, and automatically adds/updates the required Category tags at the end of the page.
Copyright on these various packages is as shown on their respective sites.
