I am using %INCLUDE% to bring parts of other web WebHome topics into the Main web. The topics that are being included are using either %STARTSECTION{type="include"}% or %STARTINCLUDE% (both with the appropriate closing vars) to define which parts of the topic to include. Unfortunately it appears that some of the wiki words from the included topics are "broken" and don't point to the source web (it appears that Foswiki expects these to exist in the web into which the copy was included) while others point properly to the source web from which the topic was included.

None of the webs share the same topic names with the exception of the default topics (e.g., WebHome).

Here is the Main web raw text:


<---+!! Welcome to the <nop>%USERSWEB% web

This is the home page for the corporate wiki of Radical Dynamic Inc./Radical Dynamique Inc. This wiki contains information, documents and resources applicable to the business, services and products offered by Radical Dynamic.

---

%INCLUDE{"Corporate.WebHome"}%

----

%INCLUDE{"Finance.WebHome"}%

----

%INCLUDE{"Projects.WebHome"}%

----

%INCLUDE{"Research.WebHome"}%

Here is an example of Corporate:


---+!! %MAKETEXT{"Welcome to the [_1] web" args="<nop>%WEB%"}%

_%SITEMAPWHAT%_

---++ Vision Statement

---++ %MAKETEXT{"Available Information"}%

%STARTINCLUDE%

BusinessPlan

   * ImportantBusinessNumbers, CorporationsCanadaNotices
   * ReportingRequirements
   * BusinessResources
   * TodoList, ScratchPad, EventLog

   * RadicalDynamicIncorporation, ShareRegister
   * CorporateByLaws
   * DocumentTemplates

%STOPINCLUDE%

And below is a copy of the rendered HTML as seen on Main:

I don't see anything wrong, but I guess you were expecting the links in the included page to be rewritten relative to the web they are included from. That doesn't happen. INCLUDE is a textual process, and all INCLUDE statements are resolved before the linking rules are applied, so in this case all wikiwords will be relative to the including topic.

Or am I missing something?

-- CrawfordCurrie - 08 Sep 2010

There is nothing to fix here. If Matt needs wikiwords from included topics to point to the original topic he needs to use the fully qualified link with Webname.TopicName

If we "fixed" this a lot of the included topics from System web would suddenly not point to the current web. And I can think of several included topics in our installations where we put small application sniplets in a common web that would not work either.

I will no action this

You guys are right; there is nothing wrong here. Thanks.
