Fwd: External link to same server
Resend ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lee Meador <[email protected]> Date: Jul 16, 2007 2:48 PM Subject: External link to same server To: [email protected] The links documentation tells how to add a link to another wiki page and a link to a URL like http://yahoo.com I would like to link to a URL that isn't inside the xwiki application but is on the same server without putting in the hostname or ip address. If I was doing this in html, I would use "<a href="/otherapp/home">Other App</a>. I tried the form [/otherapp/home] and simply /otherapp/home but those don't generate the right link. (The first comes out as a link to an xwiki page. The second comes out as plain text.) Is there a way to do this? Thanks. -- -- Lee Meador -- -- Lee Meador Sent from gmail.

Yes with HTML... :) The wiki syntax is for generating links to pages (aka documents). There's no wiki syntax for generating general purpose links. -Vincent

IIRC, [link name>/arbitrary/path] works just fine. I've used it to make [anchor links>#furtherdown] on long, sectioned pages. -- 'Waste of a good apple' -Samwise Gamgee

Cool, if this is a supported feature then we should document it on the wiki syntax page on xwiki.org. Can someone confirm this is supported? (I'm offline on holidays so it's a little bit harder for me to check) Thanks -Vincent
