Not exactly, depending on your point of view. Confluence requires you explicitly create groups (i.e., "spaces" in Confluencese.'),[1] and all pages within that group/space are refered to by name. However, you can cite to another space's page via [[GroupB:Pagename]] in Confluence. At least, that's what its documentation says. This behavior is akin to PmWiki's group layout. Users of PmWiki would more likely consider the Confluence space as a flat wiki field, rather than a group, because of the difficulty in creating a new space. That is, you have to have an administrator create the space and assign an administrator for that space. Otherwise a space is a PmWiki group; semantically speaking. One Confluence instance has many spaces, just as a PmWiki instance has multiple groups. PmWiki is a bit more flexible with its Intermap function in mapping between PmWiki instances and other external-to-this-instance destinations. > Is there a way to link to a page that is not stored in the "current" group > without declaring the groupname in the syntax ? (ie : [groupname/pagename]) No, you can't; and shouldn't. Think about this in reverse. When pages are stored in wiki.d, the are "GroupA.Pagename." format. When you link to [[Pagename]], the system intuits that you mean GroupA.Pagename and not GroupB.Pagename, when you are in GroupA. If PmWiki were "strict" in your naming each page, you would always have to write [[GroupA.Pagename]], even on a page in GroupA. Are you trying to just display the pagename? In that case, try [[GroupB/Pagename]], which has the effect of concealing the group name. You can even say [[GroupB/This is a page]] to link to GroupB.ThisIsAPage, as PmWiki makes the adjustment. -- Ben Wilson "Words are the only thing which will last forever" Churchill [1]: Both "group" and "space" mean namespaces, or the level where each page must be uniquely named. The administrative overhead in creating a Confluence space is one of its weaknesses; so says a white paper I'm putting together. :-) _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
