URL Redirecting

[finner]

Hi,
I have managed to hook up Alfresco to a Wiki so that when you edit the Wiki it updates the Alfresco repo via the Alfresco PHP library. The thread is here (it's mainly a monologue):

http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=7564

It works really well!!!.
However it's not exactly the requirement the of the company. They want the wiki to be searchable (indexed) from Alfresco (that part is done) and then be able to open the Wiki page from the results.

So, I was thinking is it possible to redirect the browser to , say, http://localhost/wiki/index.php/<title_of_wiki_page> when I click on the wiki content?


I am also looking at adding the Wiki to the OpenSearch component but I can't get the search API / URL to work. According to MediaWiki API I am trying:

<engine label="My Wiki" proxy="mywiki">
     <url type="application/json">
       http://localhost/wiki/api.php?action=opensearch&search={searchTerms}
     </url>
</engine> 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Any help is much appreciated

What does the wiki search url return? json or html

The Alfresco open search client only works with rss or atom search results.

Thanks David,
The particular search example above returns JSon which, as you point out, won't work with the OpenSearch client.
I'm trying to get an RSS or Atom formatted result but so far I can't get it to work.

What about the URL for viewing content ? Is it possible to customise it ?

Thanks

Any update on this? We tried the same here but can't get it to work. Seems that the Mediawiki can't return XML at this point, at least not via the API. You can define an optional format which works for the Mediawiki action parameter but it doesn't work for the opensearch parameter.

Hi Simon,
I didn't get anywhere further with this and in the end it was decided not to integrate our Wiki with Alfresco.
If you do make progress on this could you post some info here ? It would be good to know.

Cheers,
Finner.
