Sorry I do not understand the question, could you restate it? (Moved question from TWiki.ShorterUrlCookbook)

when i go to http://www.twiki.org, the main web is not displayed. Instead, i am assuming that it is a web that is hidden with the apache. Or maybe the file that first load when accessing the http://www.twiki.org is not part of the twiki script? When a person first accesses my site, I would like a hidden web to display its WebHome, in such a way that the users files are still stored at main. For example, when they go to twiki.org, they are really at twiki.org/HiddenWeb, that loads a modified pattern template. The user files are still stored at Main. This is the impression that I get when I go to twiki.org

I am asking how I can do such a thing.

The twiki.org homepage is handcrafted, basically based on a "save-as" of a PatternSkin rendered topic. This is done mainly for speed, but also for reliability in case there is an issue with the cgi scripts.

The creation of the homepage could be automated with a generator, such as the PublishWebPlugin (http://www.structuredwikis.com/ is an example of a generated page based on a custom skin.)

i have created the topic ChangeLinksInTopics but it is not showing up in the open questions?

That is becasue the SupportStatus was not set to AskedQuestions (I fixed it.)
