    • Backlinks

    Posted by drmagu posts: 29 United States

    Backlinks are fine and all that. When navigating a Wiki site, it is easy to get lost. The breadcrumbs feature helps. So do backlinks. Is there any TW function e.g. Plugin BackLinks failed : Page cannot be found : or a plugin Plugin BackLinks failed : Page cannot be found : Plugin BackLinks failed : Page cannot be found : which would put a list of backlinks on the current Wiki page? Just to make it easier for the user. If one wanted to provide such a plugin or function, how would one actually find the 'backlinks' programmatically?
    Should this be a topic for a different forum?
    TIA

    Hi,

    There is no plugin to my knowledge in CVS to do that. but you can provide the breadcrumb module in a wiki page witht he MODULE() plugin.

    PluginsList I think shows all the available TikiWiki plugins, with parameters etc.

    To find the backlinks, I believe they are made available to all wiki pages anyway, it would just be a case of capturing the data probably via tikilib or wikilib and throwing together a cute little wiki plugin to display the droppy down box.

    I did not realize that! That may have some other useful application.

    Actually, I was rather thinking of a concatenated list like so:

    This page is referenced from

    BackLink1 * BackLink2 * BackLink3

    and so on.
