doc/todo/absolute_urls_in_wikilinks.mdwn



[[!tag wishlist]]
An option to have absolute urls in wikilinks instead of relative ones would be useful,
for pages included into other pages out of the wiki rendering process (shtml for example)
since these pages can be included from a subdir. Ditto, links from [[ inline ..]] or [[map ..]].

You can make a wikilink absolute by prefixing it with a /, see
[[ikiwiki/subpage/linkingrules/]]. Pagespecs match absolute by default. But what do
you mean "included from a subdir"? If you inline a page, its links shouldn't
change. --Ethan


I want the "last pages" in my sidebar. and some links to a few special pages.
[[inline ]] or \[[map ]] in the sidebar is a bad idea, (because each update rebuilds
all the wiki), so I use server-side-include instead of the sidebar plugin;
this reduces the dependencies
my sidebar is generated as http://foo.org/menu/index.html, so all the links generated by
[[inline ]] or [[map ]] are relative to this position.
Included from http://foo.org/section/sub/blah/index.shtml, the links are broken.
