    • When the importer puts "{{" around a Mediawiki template, what to do?

    Posted by whit

    Importing from Mediawiki, there are references to our Jira project-tracking system that come out of the Tiki importer looking like: . Those are handled by a template in our Mediawiki, to create valid links to the Jira system that can be altered by changing the template when/if that system was moved.

    Is the "{{" syntax something known to Tiki, or an artifact of the importer? The best solution for us is if we can use the links as they come through the importer, and set up a Tiki template or module that will simply translate them. But in looking at the Tiki docs on templates and modules I can't find any mention of a "{{" syntax. And I haven't found a simple cheatsheet listing all the Tiki syntax either - there must be one around?

    If the "{{" is valid syntax, I'd like to learn how to use it. If it's not, I'd like to go into I suppose the PEAR code of the importer again and get a result for our Jira links that will allow proper use of a template/module with them in Tiki. Thanks for any pointers on this.

    I believe the importer leaves the template syntax as-is during the process as Tiki has no direct equivalent.

    To link to your JIRAs, you can either create a custom plugin or a plugin alias. Both would result in a syntax that looks like this:

    {jira id=STA-12345}

    I don't know the exact modification that would be required to modify the installer to do this on the fly.

    Hi whit,

    What is the original syntax? As lphuberdeau mentioned I believe that Tiki importer leave the template syntax as-is.
