[Tikiwiki-users] Custom identifier for all corresponding translations of a page?

[mema <me...@ar...>]

Hi all,

I am trying to accomplish the following:

1) Write technical documentation in the Wiki (multiple languages, various
release version)
2) Export the whole "book" or custom selected chapters to HTML format
3) In the corresponding application use the exported HTML pages for
context-sensitive help

As this seems to be a long existing feature request but not possible yet, I
want to find a way around the limitiations. It is already possible to use
the outdated webhelp and code exists to print a page to HTML. It should be
somehow possible to specify language and release version (suggestions
welcome! :) ).

But once I have somehow exported all my pages and want to display a specific
page, I need to have a more or less static reference to find the specified
page in the desired language and other corresponding translations. Using
strict naming conventions might help, so that all pages have the stem in the
name and only get the language abbreviation added to the end. But pages can
be renamed and therefore not ensured in code that the reference url is
correct. I do not want to maintain a mapping like with JavaHelp, this
solution should be more automatic (but allow changing the identifier upon
page / translation creation once).

1. Is it possible to prevent page renaming?

2. Is it possible to have a property for all pages to set a static reference
id (e.g. the original unique page name or the page ref id) which remains the
same (automatically copied) for all translations of a page? Then I could
also export this value somehow along with the languages etc (e.g. in the
filename or create a folder structure) and more or less ensure that the
reference id in my application code is still valid and does not have to be
changed and regularly maintained.

I hope you undestand my problem description :)

Thanks in advance,
mema
