{Newbie to the list, so please forgive if this has been answered many times before. We have been unable to track down a solution.}
We installed mediawiki several months ago and it's become a tool we use every day. We have encountered a challenge with links that would seem common enough to have already been solved by someone but we cannot find a solution anywhere. Specifically, our installation is on our intranet and we have added links to other internal web applications that we use daily. These links are of the form
http://host.domain.local/path/to/app
We would like to add access to our installation of mediawiki from the Internet, just like we already have for our other web applications. All of the links on pages when viewed from the Internet are of the form:
https://host.domain.com/path/to/app
We have looked at using rewrite rules and other methods, but they all seem to be a sledgehammer solution. What we would prefer is something simple like:
[/path/to/app | Application Name]
This would seem the obvious solution (at least to us), but unfortunately it does not work. We have also tried to force an anchor into the page like this:
<nowiki><a href="/path/to/app">Application Name</a></nowiki>
But the page parser strips it out.
Finally, we have looked at the interwiki linking mechanism, but it appears to be a one-way mapping of a name to a specific site, which would not work for what we are trying to accomplish.
If we have overlooked the obvious or if anyone has solved this dilemma, we would appreciate some pointers.
Many thanks,
George
