Any DNN gurus out there who can do this?

I have a big need for a custom module that does the following:

- Accept a string for a Wikipedia page

- Send a request to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export with the string to get the XML

- Parse the XML so it formats to HTML

- Add the resulting HTML to any existing HTML module content

I'm hoping someone will take this on.

thanks,

Steve

bump

No takers for this? I thought this type of thing would sell quite well.

Steve, I have this at least part working - having trouble getting the text formated so dont know if I will keep up with it but its an interesting idea - if you want the code I could give it up

That would be great. I have a working version in classic asp and a php script I got from someone. The problem is that the generated XML contains a lot of wikicode and would need a lot of regex, which I'm not good at.

Anyone else who's good at formatting with regex want to take this on?
