After a Symbolic Link is created, it is possible to view it as a normal page as well as it's children.
Included page: CreateRelativeSymbolicLink (edit)
Creating a symbolic link is done in the properties view of the page that will contain the link. There is a form where a user supplies a name for the link and a path for the linked page. When submitted the URL has the following form:
http://host/PathToPage?responder=symlink&linkName=
&linkPath=
First we need to create some pages to play with.
| Page creator. |
| Page name. |
valid? |
| LinkingPage |
true |
| LinkedPage |
true |
Now we create a symbolic link named SymLink. This links LinkedPage as a child of LinkingPage.
| Response Requester. |
| uri |
status? |
| LinkingPage?responder=symlink&linkName=SymLink&linkPath=LinkedPage |
303 |
Now add a child on the linked page.
| Page creator. |
| Page name. |
valid? |
| LinkedPage.ChildPage |
true |
Let's load and view the symbolic link page.
| Response Requester. |
| uri |
status? |
| LinkingPage.SymLink |

| Response Examiner. |

Now let's load and view the child page beneath the symbolic link page.
| Response Requester. |
