Question

I've been creating a web which ended up containing a number of documents which don't follow the wiki naming guidelines (eg TESTSERVER001). That proved no problems when referring to them in other pages as I can use the double square brackets to force a wiki link. Problem is that when I create a document which has a document with a non-valid wiki name as a parent, the breadcrumb tree at the head of the document doesn't link to the parent. It displays the name as text but not as a link.

Is there a way to force a link to be created for the non-valid wiki document names in the breadcrumb tree?

Upgrade to TWikiRelease01Feb2003 or patch TWiki.pm's sub renderParent from:

            $text = "$pWeb.$pTopic$sep$text";
            $sep = $usesep;

to:

            $text = "[[$pWeb.$pTopic][$pTopic]]$sep$text";
            $sep = $usesep;
