    • hotwords and wikiwords

    Posted by jinglesnbells

    Could someone tell me what hotwords and wikiwords are? What the difference is between them. I did a search on the tikiwiki site but that did not seem to help me much.

    Just wondering if it is something I should use or not really necessary.

    Thanks in advance! 😊

    Thanks Gary!

    In my case I am creating pages by using the double parenthesis......so, I don't think I will use hotwords. There does not seem to be any harm in using wikiwords.

    wikiwords are words in wiki text whose form causes them to be links. Normally this means "CamelCase" words. If "Use WikiWords" is turned off on the Admin Wiki page, then double parentheses are used to make links. Wikiwords (either camel case or links specified by double parentheses) are links to other wiki pages only.

    Hotwords are specific words that are specified on the Admin Hotwords page (tiki-admin_hotwords.php) to be links and can link to anything, internal or external. They are "hot" in the sense that you don't need to give them link coding when you use them in text or whatever. Tiki does that automatically after you've entered them as Hotwords on the Admin Hotwords page. (Sometimes you see this feature used for advertising on web pages (not Tiki sites necessarily) where, for example, hovering over "rings" in "...and then the telephone rings" displays a link to a jewelry store. Discretion is advised 😉.)

    Hi!

    Does the current CVS code contain an update to the hotword feature?
    At the moment the feature is very limited because you can only hotword a word to a full URL (or so it seems)...?
    Is there a way to link to a page anchor? So when i have a glossary page jump in that page to the according place?

    Best regards

    Carsten
