More useful intermap prefixes

See PmWiki/InterMap for information about what an "intermap link" is.

Goal

Allow the users of a wiki site to create "edit-links" etc by writing Edit:Group.SomePage

Solution

Simply add

   Edit     http://yourserver.com/path/to/wiki?pagename=$1&action=edit

to your localmap.txt. Similarly, you can add:

   History  http://yourserver.com/path/to/wiki?pagename=$1&action=diff

to allow History:Group.SomePage to work.

Discussion

Note that there are still some difficulties here -- in particular, Edit: will always have to be followed by Group.PageName or Group/PageName; i.e., Edit:PageName (to edit a page in the current group) won't work. A possible workaround here is to use: Edit:[[$Group]].PageName.

History

From a discussion on the list, see gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user:4733

Comments & Bugs

In order to change how this is shown on screen, you still have to write something like:

   [[Edit:Group.SomePage edit SomePage]]

Idea: It could be useful to have an intermap prefix for generating a list of pages in the current group, i.e. the link would actually do a search for [[$Group]]/. This is something I often code by hand, and having a prefix such as ListPage:Group would be convenient.
