[Phpwiki-talk] How do you change HomePage to point to another Home Page?

[Alexander D. <me...@ea...>]

I would like to have an html home page that is locked and has a 
different format than the other wiki pages.  I figured if I wrote an 
html home page myself this would be best.

If I do this, how do I have links like HomePage or [Home Page] 
automatically point to this page which is essentially outside of the 
wiki format?

Thanks in advance for your help.

There's two (relatively) easy ways I can think of to do that:

1. Use apache's mod_rewrite.  If possible, that's probably the best
solution.
   (Intercept request for /path/to/wiki/HomePage and internally redirect
   them to /other/path/realHomePage.html.)

2. Use PhpWiki's RedirectTo plugin on the wiki HomePage to redirect
   to your other home page.

Both methods are slightly hackish.  #1 is more efficient, less likely
to cause trouble with funky browsers, but a bit trickier to set up.
(and you can't do it unless you run Apache and have access to
mod_rewrite.)


It's kind of non-wiki to do that though.  Wiki-links should link to wiki
pages.  You can always link to non-wiki pages using standard external
links.
