Description

I'm using 1.9.2. When I e-mail a new forum topic a forum, the body of the topic has added to it the following language:

Use this thread to discuss the [tiki-index.php?page=mynewforumtopic|mynewforumtopic] page.

This would make sense if the material was coming in as a result of a Discussion of a wiki page. It might possibly make sense if the wiki page exists. It does not make sense in the context of creating a new forum topic that does not discuss a wiki page.

A bad solution is to verify that the wiki page exists before creating a link to the wiki page. This is not satisfactory because wiki pages may exist that are not related. For example, in my application, I have a forum for each state or other territory which discusses forms. Each state has forms with similar names. A discussion of a form "X" in one state's forum should not be linked to a wiki page "X" dealing with another state's form. Such a link could cause someone a real big problem if they don't realise what's happening. A similar mixup on a medical topic could be even more disastrous.

Solution

1) Check to see if Wiki "Discuss pages on forums" is turned on before creating the link to the wiki page.

2) Check to see if the e-mail is being posted to the forum which is selected as "the" forum for Wiki Discussion before creating a link to the wiki page in the item being posted.
