! 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"} !!
