Description

Currently what happens is when user clicks on a perpective link (tiki-switch_perspective.php?perspective=8), it will automatically change to http://example.com/tiki-index.php which is the same address for any perspectives by default... which can confuse user when they add the link as bookmark (favorites links) their browser will save the this link http://example.com/tiki-index.php and not http://example.com/tiki-switch_perspective.php?perspective=8

Workaround

If you enable feature_sefurl, switch perspective ends up with the page name on the url - e.g. from example.com/HomePage switch to a perspective called "test" (with wikiHomePage set to a page called "test") and i end up on example.com/test - wouldn't that do?

+1 to what Jonny wrote. This is how we've configured Perspectives in the past. They each have their own Wiki Home Page setting. When the switch happens then it goes to that homepage.


Not sure I see this as a bug. Better documentation maybe? Or a feature request?
