- Description
There is an example available.
However this is how to reproduce the problem:Let's say I have a page NamespaceA:_:Home
Then I edit that same page throught WYSIWYG editor creating a wiki-link to the not-yet-existing page "Target". In source code this corresponds to Target.
Once the page is saved I click on Target link. This way Tiki automatically creates NamespaceA:_:Target page.
I'd like to underline this is an extremely useful feature since it allows even not-developer users to create new pages with the correct namespace without having to mess with the source code, which is a desirable feature.
However once NamespaceA:_:Target page has been created, no backlinks are present in there.However if now I edit page NamespaceA:_:Home by adding a wiki-link to "NamespaceA:_:Target" (in source code this would correspond e.g. to Target ), the link works just fine and moreover a backlink from NamespaceA:_:Target to NamespaceA:_:Home is generated.
Option "Force all non-namespace page links to the same namespace" does not seem to solve the problem.
-----------------------
In short: Target and Target are both valid links towards page NamespaceA:_:Target (starting from page NamespaceA:_:Home), but one is recognized as a backlink by Backlinks plugin while the other one is not.------------------------
The problem lies in the fact that if a not-developer user were to use Tiki, the above-mentioned feature of automatic page creation with correct namespace would be extremely useful but it introduces the above-mentioned problem.------------------------
I think one possibility would be to edit Backlinks plugin to recognize Target as a valid link to NamespaceA:_:Target as well (in this context, taking into account the namespace of the page on which the link resides).Another possible solution would be to have WYSIWYG plugin work (optionally?) in a little different way: if I am in page NamespaceA:_:Home and I write a link towards page Target it should automatically translate the link in Target instead of just Target. Maybe this second solution is cleaner? I don't know.
Thank you very much for your attenction
- Workaround
- A workaround is to create the page manually BEFORE and then copying its namespace+nam , substituting " / " with ":_:" and pasting it it as wiki-link in the calling page. But it is not really a solution if the user of tiki is a standard user who is not able to perform such a task.

Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.
