Linking to Wiki Pages

You've already learned how to add links from one wiki page to another, but what if you want to link in to your Tiki from another website?
To create a link to a wiki page from another source (such as another website or an email) use this format: http://www.yourdomain.com/tiki-index.php?&page=XXX.

Where XXX is the full name of the wiki page.

 Tip

Use the Wiki URL scheme option (on the Wiki control panel to determine how to treat spaces in page names:

Handling spaces in page names

  • Replacing with dashes (default)
  • Replacing with underscore
  • Use URL encoding

 Note

If you use Tiki's default .htaccess file to create SEFURL (Search Engine Friendly URLs), you can construct your incoming links as simply:
http://www.yourdomain.com/XXX

For example, to link to this wiki page, you could use:

http://twbasics.tikiforsmarties.com/Linking+to+Wiki+Pages

See the Tiki Documentation for details.

 Tip

If your page names contain non-English or "special" characters, be sure to set the Wiki link format option on the Admin: Wiki control panel.
