administrator (intermediate)
This page describes Pm Wiki's default InterMap links, and how a wiki administrator can create additional Inter Map links.

An intermap entry takes the following format:

MapPrefix:      http://www.somehost.com/partial/url/

Pm Wiki is distributed with the following Inter Map entries in scripts/intermap.txt:

PmWiki:         http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/
Cookbook:       http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/
Wiki:           http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?
UseMod:         http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?
Meatball:       http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?
Wikipedia:      http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/
PITS:           http://www.pmwiki.org/PITS/
Path:

You can create your own Inter Map links by doing one or more of the following:

• Create a Site.InterMap page and place entries like the ones above in it.
• Create a local/localmap.txt file and place entries like the ones above in it.
• In a WikiFarm installation you can create a local/farmmap.txt file to hold your entries.

Do not edit the intermap.txt file directly! If you do, you'll lose your changes when you upgrade Pm Wiki.

Variables and InterMap Links

It's possible to use variables within your Inter Map entries. The following entries create ThisWiki: and ThisPage: shortcuts:

ThisWiki:        $ScriptUrl
ThisPage:        {$PageUrl}

You can also define Inter Map entries where the text of the entry is substituted into the middle of the URL. Just include '$1' in the URL where you want the substitution to take place. For example:

would cause Jargon:F/feature-creep to be converted to http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/feature-creep.html.
