# DokuWiki Plugin: localopen

Open local files and folders directly from DokuWiki pages — **without browser popups or protocol handlers**.

This plugin replaces `localexplorer://`-style links with a modern, secure approach using a local HTTP service and background requests (`fetch()`), resulting in a seamless, one-click experience.

---

## ✨ Features

- Open local files (`.docx`, `.pdf`, etc.) and folders from wiki links
- No browser confirmation dialogs
- No blank tabs or navigation away from the wiki
- Works with:
  - Local drives (`C:\`, `Z:\`, etc.)
  - Network shares (`\\server\share`)
- Uses standard HTTP instead of custom protocol handlers
- Lightweight and fast

---

## 🧠 How It Works

1. The plugin renders links like:  \[\[localopen>c:\windows|Windows\]\]

2. When clicked:
- A background `fetch()` request is sent to:

  ```
  http://127.0.0.1:2222/open?path=...&token=...
  ```
- A small Python service running locally receives the request
- The service opens the file using Windows (`os.startfile`)

👉 The browser never navigates away from the page.

## 📦 Requirements

- DokuWiki
- Python 3 (Windows)
- A local Python service (included below)

---

## 🔧 Installation

### 1. Install the Plugin

Copy the plugin into:  lib/plugins/localopen/

---

### 2. Set Your Token

Choose a secret token (any random string)


Update it in:

- the plugin PHP file
- the Python service

---

### 3. Run the Local Python Service

Save this as `localopen_service.py`:

```python

from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs, unquote
