Hi,
I have another system outside of my wiki that I sometimes reference. The objects that I reference have a unique attribute and are controlled by revision history similar to mediawiki's revision history methodology. This system runs on a server other then the server I run my current mediawiki implementation.
So generally I would specify something like http://www.thisismyserver.com/script.php?number=12345, I have uploaded the script.php onto the mediawiki server and am trying to reference it from inside the wiki, and this is where I am failing. I have tried all sorts of thing like interwiki links but it just doesnt work. (I don't want to switch on rawHtml for all the security reasons, and I don't want my users needing to understand html! after convincing them that they don't need it!).
I know in the near future I will be moving my wiki to another server, which is why I don't want to write in [ http://www.thisismyserver.com/script.php?number=12345 Link to Document 12345] in my article (It would be a night mare to go through and update all of this!
Does anyone have any idea's I could work on?
Thanks, Ryan
Make a template "[http://www.thisismyserver.com/script.php?number=%7B%7B%7B1%7D%7D%7D Link to Document {{{1}}}]" and use it instead of links, or create an interwiki entry: http://www.thisismyserver.com/script.php?number=$1
Or:
[{{{SERVER}}/script.php?number={{{1}}} Link to Document {{{1}}}]
This avoids potential complications with HTTP vs HTTPS, or domain name differences.
You can also wrap the above in <span class="plainlinks"></span> if you don't want the links to look like "external" links.
