Hi everybody, I want to know if there is something similar in xwiki like in for example dokuwiki. There exists a plugin which creates automatically links in wiki pages if you write the following wiki syntax: [[bug>7884]] This will generates a link to bugzilla to the following URL: https://bugzilla-server/show_bug.cgi?id=7884 So in wiki code you just have this small piece of text and you will get a perfect link to bugzilla with the text: Bug 7884. It als renders the small bugzilla icon before the text, but that's not necessary. Would be nice, but isn't that important. Now is there something similar or can I achieve this with the help of a macro or script in xwiki?

This can be achieved with the notion of Rendering Transformation, see: http://rendering.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Transformations And also: http://rendering.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Extending#HAddinganewTransfo… Thanks -Vincent

Hi, Daniel, IMHO, it's better to use macro in such a case: - it is more flexible - you can use it via WYSIWYG editor - you're not dependent on "external" XWiki configuration from server side, so it will just work on other XWiki instance from the scratch - you're at the safe side if Development Team once will change smth in interwiki engine :-) Kind regards, Dmitry Среда, 11 сентября 2013, 15:46 -04:00 от Sergiu Dumitriu <sergiu(a)xwiki.org>rg>:

Actually those are called "interwiki links" and it's something XWiki always supported. To enable: 1. edit WEB-INF/xwiki.properties and add something like: rendering.interWikiDefinitions = bug = https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id = Replace "bug" with a better name if you want, and of course the correct URL to Bugzilla 2. Restart XWiki 3. Use the following syntax: [[interwiki:bug:123]] [[See bug #123>>interwiki:bug:123]] [[See bug #123>>interwiki:bug:123||class="bugzilla"]] -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi Vincent, thanks for this hint. It works great and is absolutely that what I have been looking for. Thanks Daniel
