When telling people to go take a look at the DMP site
I'd prefer to
use the URL like http://prog2.vub.ac.be:9090/DMP/, but I don't want to
change the page's title to this abbreviation either. So it would be
nice if the editor for pages allows you to not only set a 'title' for
a page but a 'short name' for it as well (by default: none). The
page's url should be derived from this short name.
Maybe the easiest to do would be to introduce symbolic links. That acts
like a proxy on any other structure somewhere in the wiki-tree. So you
could just add another child with the name 'DMP' and let it point (or
redirect) to the long url.
If you want you can directly commit to the cincom directory. I do not
continue with the development of SmallWiki 1, except for bugs and the
porting tools to migrate the data to SmallWiki 2.
I could probably hack this into Smallwiki myself
easily, but it seems
like a generally useful feature and I'm wondering about a small issue
as well: should the *-syntax for making a link allow you to use short
names for pages too? What happens when the short name of one page and
the title of another are the same?
Yes, you could also just open an inspector on the root node and add the
same node twice but with different keys into the children dictionary. I
think this could work, but I've never tried.
Cheers,
Lukas
