    • Help with Links

    Posted by bbaley

    Hello,
    I hope this is the correct forum to use for this question...

    It is obvious from the documentation how to link to a PAGE from an Article...
    However, I cannot figure out how to link to another ARTICLE ?

    In other words, I created an article named TEST.
    no problem.
    then I create another article named TRIAL

    I cannot link to TRIAL from article TEST ?
    it wants to create a new PAGE called TRIAL !

    I don't understand?

    Does this mean, I would have to have a duplicate page named TRIAL to the article named TRIAL ?
    why would I want to do that ?

    Please help me with my confusion! I am sure I am just missing something obvious !

    You cannot use Tiki's wiki link syntax ((pagename)) to link to an article.

    Instead you have to construct the link as an external link, using the article's ID. For example:

    [tiki-read_article.php?articleId=163] will produce:
    tiki-read_article.php?articleId=163

    If you are using Tiki's default .htaccess (see the docs, hereQuestion), you can construct the link even easier, as:

    [article163] will produce
    article163

    HTH,

    thanks you....
    one more question...

    Where does the Article ID display ?
    I cannot even find it in the admin setup as an option to display etc.
    I looked all over when editing an article, but cannot seem to find it displayed ???

    I guess I can find it in the DB..but...

    ok, I forgot I could just look in the address bar... sheesh..

    one last question then...
    I tried and could not figure out how to name the link this way????

    i.e. like you do with PageLinkDisplayName

    any way to accomplish ?
