administrator (intermediate) This page describes PmWiki's default InterMap links, and how a wiki administrator can create additional InterMap links.
An intermap entry takes the following format:
MapPrefix: http://www.somehost.com/partial/url/
PmWiki is distributed with the following InterMap entries in scripts/intermap.txt:
PmWiki: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/ Cookbook: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ Wiki: http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki? UseMod: http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl? Meatball: http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl? Wikipedia: http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/ PITS: http://www.pmwiki.org/PITS/ Path:
You can create your own InterMap links by doing one or more of the following:
Site.InterMap and place entries like the
ones above in it.
local/localmap.txt and place entries like the
ones above in it.
local/farmmap.txt and there place entries like the ones above in it.
These prefixes will be common to all the wikis in the farm.
Do not edit the file scripts/intermap.txt directly! If you do, you'll
lose your changes when you upgrade PmWiki.
It's possible to use variables within your InterMap entries. The following
entries create ThisWiki: and ThisPage: shortcuts:
ThisWiki: $ScriptUrl
ThisPage: {$PageUrl}
You can also define InterMap entries where the text of the entry is substituted into the middle of the URL. Just include '$1' in the URL where you want the substitution to take place. For example:
Jargon: http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/$1.html
would cause Jargon:F/feature-creep to be converted to http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/feature-creep.html.
It is possible to document your intermap prefixes directly in the page Site.InterMap. The extra text will not cause a performance penalty, nor will it break the definition of prefixes. However, be aware that anything matching a line starting with a word and a colon (:) will be considered to define a prefix.
The order in which various sources are checked for definitions of prefixes is controlled by the variable $InterMapFiles. Currently the precedence (highest to lowest is as follows):
local/localmap.txt
$SiteGroup.InterMap
$FarmD/local/farmmap.txt
$FarmD/scripts/intermap.txt
