How can I refer to an internal Redmine link in a wiki page with a relative URL?
Added by David Ohsie almost 12 years ago
In Redmine wiki page, I'd like to be able to refer to an internal Redmine url. For example I might say in the wiki that if the user has questions he should post to a specific forum. I can create a regular external link, but then if I move the Redmine server to a new host, I have to go and find and fix all links like that. It would be better if I could refer to the Redmine link using a relative path so that if I move Redmine, the links don't break.
I'm using Redmine 2.2.3.stable.

There is a link on the toolbar of the wiki text editor. You can access help and some sample with this link.

Thank you. I read through that and did not find a solution (perhaps there isn't one). I found out how to create absolute external links and also internal links to some redmine resources, but not to things like a forum itself.

Thank you, that was very helpful for linking to forums.
I think that a generalized capability to do relative links would be useful as well; for example, I have a link in my wiki explaining that code contributions should be preceded by issue creating with a link to the "New issue" page. There can't be a keyword for every link.
Thanks again for the help. It does cover many of my use cases.

Relative URLs are already supported using standard textile link syntax:
Syntax | Result |
---|---|
"New issue page":/projects/redmine/issues/new |
New issue page |
"Roadmap page":/projects/redmine/roadmap |
Roadmap page |
"Projects overview":/projects |
Projects overview |
"Forums":/projects/redmine/boards |
Forums |

Thank you, that's exactly what I need. I thought that I had tried something like syntax through trial and error, but I must have done something wrong.
