    • Internal Links

    Posted by jacci

    Hi, am still pretty new to the TikiWiki and am trying to understand how the linking works when creating a wiki page. Have read a few help things and am still stuck on certain parts. Have got external non wiki links and also internal wiki pages and i love how that works it is just awesome, as well as the hotwords.

    What i am trying to do now, is add a link to a specific chat room. It is not actaully a wiki page, nor an external link.

    have tried a few things and am not sure if i should just put in the whole url or if there is a way to get the wikiwords linking to link to parts of the tikiwiki that are not actually wiki pages such as the chat or a blog etc

    I want the word PretenderChat to go to either the chat page in general: /tiki-chat.php or specifcially a chat channel i have designated: tiki-chatroom.php

    thanks

    Wikiwords only link to other wiki pages. To link to non-wiki addresses, you have to use the external link syntax, like [tiki-forums.php] (to produce tiki-forums.php) or [tiki-forums.php|Forums], to produce Forums. (Only relative urls are needed, so whatever follows "http://www.yourdomain.com/".)

    You might have to turn off "use external link icon", on the wiki admin page, if it's being used and you don't these local links to be marked as external.

    Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me, wasn't sure if i was missing something really obvious.
