    • featured links

    Posted by alwahapp

    I am trying to create a featured link using wiki format for URL

    I entered HomePage as the URL and was expecting it to be picked up correctly. But in the featured links module, hte link shows up as

    http://_servername_/tiki/HomePageQuestion and it fails.

    How do I get this link to pick up

    http://_servername_/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=HomePageQuestion

    Is there a standard prefix or aliases that I need to set up? I am new and don't know if there is a setting which I can select so that both these complete links become equivalent to each other..one a shortened version of the other?

    Thanks Damian. I have tried that successfully earlier, however, I thought I should not force the domain name directly, for easy portability.

    If I just enter,

    tiki-index.php?page=HomePage

    it adds the prefix and it works fine. But I was hoping that the regular wiki linking will work here as well. Could this be requested for future releases?

    Well you are welcome to join the community and work on the featured links yourself. My understanding is that they are primarly for use with External URLs and a custom menu would be a better approach for internal linking.
