[xwiki-users] xwiki how to I create new links in current page
Hello, First post! I am an IT administrator and I have been given the task of setting up a small internal WIKI, which I have successfully done. However it does not seem overly user friendly and I want to check if I am just missing a setting. Here is what I am wanting to do. I created a new page called "Vista Testing" on that page I want employees to be able to create a new page with details on the issues they are having and I would like for the new page to be linked to the "Vista Testing" page automatically using the title line that the employee typed in. The way it is now they create a new page and then have to go back to the "Vista Testing" page edit it and link the page they created to it. This doesn't sound difficult but to the technically inept it is like climbing a mountain. I simply want to make it easier for them. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/xwiki-how-to-I-create-new-links-in-current-page-tp1842...

[nameofthelink>page] for the current page and if you wanna make a link to a page for another space use the name of the space [nameoflink>Space.Page] Take care , Gabriela Radu :) www.gabrielaradu.com --- On Mon, 7/14/08, techdragon <jroettger@mercuryinsurance.com> wrote: From: techdragon <jroettger@mercuryinsurance.com> Subject: [xwiki-users] xwiki how to I create new links in current page To: users@xwiki.org Date: Monday, July 14, 2008, 12:48 AM Hello, First post!

If you want your page to be child of "Vista Testing", just create link like [Some page 1].

Hi, you also can create links using the WYSIWYG editor by just typing the text you want to use as link text and then click the link symbol. In the upcoming dialog you can define the "physical" name of the new page that should be created. After saving the page you can see your new link with an appending question mark - that means that there's a link to a non existing page. Simply click on that link and XWiki will automatically generate a new page for you. A video that guides you through the WYSIWYG linking dialog can be found here: http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/UserGuide/WebHome/linkseditio... cheers, Steve -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/xwiki-how-to-I-create-new-links-in-current-page-tp51048...
