Question

Is there any way (other than specifying the full url) to link to a particular version of a Topic?

The reason I ask is that I use a Topic to track the status of a number of items for each of our software releases.

This same page is used for each release and I'd like to add a set of links to the page linking to key versions of the Topic.

Currently I'm using links of the form

[[http://xyz-server.abc.com/twiki/bin/view/Webname/TopicName?rev=1.526][Link Text]]

.

• TWiki version:
• Web server:
• Server OS:
• Web browser:
• Client OS:

Answer

I don't think there is currently any other way of doing this - however, it would be a useful feature, and would address another request to be able to create topics with a specified template (by suffixing a suitable parameter string to the link, as you've done with a URL).

This might be possible as a plugin - have a look at the TWiki.pm module around line 2240, and do something similar in a plugin. You will need some Perl expertise to do this, though
