Re: [Tiki-users] Need for relative links?

Hello Volker,

I am not sure wether I understand you correctly.

You speak about page renaming alters automatically the url respectively 
the linknames to that page.

This applies only to *WikiPageNames* respectively 
*((**wikipagenames**))* and only when used within wiki links.

Relative links like *[whatevertikiobject]* and absolute links like 
*[https://example.com/sometikiobject]* are both *not* updated.

Reson to use relative links:
*[***sometikiobject*]* would make it possible to change the domain 
pointing to your website.

Given you run your site with *https://example.com* and for whatever 
reason you change to *https://newdomain.org*. After the change ...

... *[***https://example.com/sometikiobject*]* will not work anymore and 
you willbe directed to an error code, likely error 404 ressource not 
available.

but

**[***sometikiobject*]** will be directed to 
***[********https://newdomain.or*/sometikiobject*]***

in my opinion this is the main reason for relative links.

What do other users think?

Best regards,
Torsten
