Hi Hans Unless I don't understand intermaps (very possible!), they will not work for my purposes. I thought an intermap would convert a short phrase on a Pmwiki page into a URL "prefix". I want to be able to email somebody a URL like: http://private.example.com/pmwiki/index.php/page/1234 and when they click it, have them directed to: http://private.example.com/pmwiki/index.php/GeezThisIsALongGroupName/AndTheSameIdiotMadeAnEvenLongerPageName or have: http://private.example.com/pmwiki/index.php/getfile/5678 expand to: http://private.example.com/pmwiki/uploads/GeezThisIsALongGroupName/guide_to_creating_short_urls_to_reduce_typing_effort.zip It doesn't need to be part of Pmwiki. It could be a standalone script accessed by a URL like: http://private.example.com/url.php/1234 But having it as part of Pmwiki would make maintaining the links easier. Mind you, I suppose a standalone script could read a page or table created by Pmwiki. I am going to stop rambling now ... ;-) Neil -- Neil Herber Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
