History: External Wikis

Source of version: 20 (current)

! External Wikis
External Wiki feature is used to make linking to other Tiki, websites topics easier. Using it you will be able to reuse with minimum work a connection (through a link) to your "network" of Tikis and regularly used websites.

!! Some examples: 
The string on the left are the wikilink or the link shorthand. tw for tiki.org, dev for dev.tiki.org, wq for wikiquote, wd for wiktionary, lq for linuxquestions, wp for wikipedia.

{CODE(caption="External wiki and site samples set at Doc")}
tw   https://tiki.org/$page
dev  https://dev.tiki.org/$page
wq   https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/$page
wd   https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/$page
lq   https://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/$page     
wp   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$page
{CODE}

!!! Simple linkeage
To make a link to any external wiki or site above on this site you can use the ((Wiki-Syntax Links|internal wiki)) double round brackets syntax with a prefix as "dev:" inside. For instance, to make a link to 

https://dev.tiki.org/Get-code

you could use:

{CODE()}
((dev:Get-code))
{CODE}

And it would produce this link:

((dev:Get-code))

!!! Changing the string displayed
It is possible to use a different string of sentence that the page name to create a more descriptive link. Following the example above we want to improve the information the visitor will see. "Get-code" is quite short, "Get-code and join Tiki dev team" is already more explicit.
you could use:

{CODE()}
((dev:Download|Get-code and join Tiki dev team))
{CODE}

And it would produce this link:

((dev:Download|Get-code and join Tiki dev team))

!! Insert an external wiki reference
You can do that through the link at "Admin > External wikis", that will lead you to __tiki-admin_external_wikis.php__: 

{img type="fileId" fileId="1983" src="img/wiki_up/external_wikis_01.png" responsive="y"}

!! List external wiki references
From the same tiki-admin_external_wikis.php you can see the list of external wiki references you already introduce them and edit or delete any of them. Below you can see, as a reference, the list of external wikis that we have defined in http://doc.tiki.org :

{img type="fileId" fileId="1982" src="img/wiki_up/external_wikis_01.png" responsive="y"}
