This page describes how a Wiki Administrator can create additional Inter Map links.

The file intermap.txt in the scripts directory specifies the default Inter Map links that are distributed with Pm Wiki. Each line of intermap.txt has the following format:

    HostPrefix       http://www.somehost.com/partial/url/

For example, intermap.txt has the following entries:

    
    ISBN            http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/
    IMDB            http://www.imdb.com/find?q=
    Meatball        http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?
    PmWiki          http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/
    UseMod          http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?
    Wiki            http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?
    Wikipedia       http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/

To create your own Inter Map links, do not edit the intermap.txt file directly! You'll lose your changes when you do a PmWiki.Upgrade. Instead, create a file called localmap.txt in the local/ subdirectory containing your Inter Map links in the format described above. PmWiki will automatically read your links after loading the intermap.txt entries.

You can also define Inter Map entries where the text of the entry is substituted into the middle of the URL. Just include '$1' in the URL where you want the substitution to take place. For example:

    
    Jargon          http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/$1.html
    

would cause Jargon:F/feature-creep to be converted to http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/feature-creep.html.
