Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Changing User: URL link



Apologies for re-posting essentially the same post but this is just a final
ttempt to get some input on what seems to be a very specific issue.
We have a custom skin that includes the personal URLs and a link to the
User:¹ page in the format:
www.domain.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:XXX
with the hyperlink appearing as the username, ŒXXX¹ in this example.
We would like to retain the link but point it instead to:
www.domain.com/user/YY
Where YY is not the username but instead the uid. The hyperlink should
emain as-is (i.e. XXX) but point to the new destination.
I am not a PHP expert but have found this in our custom skin php file.
I am thinking that the line marked with ** is the line to change but don¹t
now what to insert in its place.
Can anyone help out? Is this is something better posted in a PHP forum?
Many thanks,
aul
