Hi JSPWiki Developers!

Q

How can I combine variables to form likes (e.g. [provide feedback|mailto:me@home?subject=[{$pagename}]&body=[{$baseuri}]])?

This does not seem to work.

I figured out how to compose a mailto link text from WikiVariables.

Following works fine:

mymail:

http://www.ecyrd.com/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp%3fpage=BugCannotUseWikiVariablesInsideWikiLinks

mymail2:

mailto:user@subdom.dom?subject=BugCannotUseWikiVariablesInsideWikiLinks&body=http://www.ecyrd.com/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp%3fpage=BugCannotUseWikiVariablesInsideWikiLinks%0a

The remaining Question#

Can I evaluate a WikiVariable inside a link definition?

This won't work:

provide feedback

If not, are there alternatives to do what I want?

Thanks!

Adrian

Hi Adrian!

At the moment, no. This is because of the way our rendering system works...
