    • What is the internal link syntax for blog and a blog post

    Posted by waterglass posts: 24 United States

    Greetings,
    What is the internal link syntax used on a wiki page to create an internal link to a main blog page and to a specific blog posting within that blog?

    The syntax
    Copy to clipboard
    ((About))
    works great. When I used
    Copy to clipboard
    ((blog1))
    or
    Copy to clipboard
    ((blog1|NanoBlog))
    , for example, clicking the link asks me to create the blog page, but this blog is already created. I've been able to create a blog list using
    Copy to clipboard
    ((tiki-list_blogs.php|Blog List))
    too and it works okay. I haven't found the blog link syntax in the Tikiwiki documentation either.

    Hi, for anything else than wiki pages you need to use the bracket syntax, e.g. [blog1|NanoBlog].

    Where XXX is the ID of the specific post.

    HTH,


    Hi, following up on this thread: Is there a magic keyword, or accessible variable that accesses only the newest blog post? With such, one could have a blog "newsticker" and have the newest entry quoted on the startpage, for instance (and the blog would serve as a history function for this display...)

    This does NOT work, at least not on Tiki 18.8. "Internal error", as it redirects to WEBSITE/blogpostXXX, which does not exist. Actually, blog post XXX resides on WEBSITE/tiki-view_blog_post.php?postId=XXX...

    This leads to the conclusion, that the correct syntax must be

    Copy to clipboard
    [tiki-view_blog_post.php?postId=XXX|Blog Post]

    Experiment shows this is un-elegant, but works.

    Assuming you have SEFURL enabled, [blogpostXXX] should work fine.

    If there are prerequisites, you should not forget to mention them 😎

    Thank you luciash d' being and Rick Sapir. It did not even occur to me that a
    Copy to clipboard
    [blog1|Nanoblog]
    or
    Copy to clipboard
    [blog1]
    syntax would work without the full
    Copy to clipboard
    https://URL/blog1
    as a internal link. D'Oh.

    The other thing that surprised me is that this syntax does not work in Menu links. I needed to use
    Copy to clipboard
    ((blog1))
    instead.
