This plugin allows one to produce TWiki topics that automatically redirect to other TWiki topics or URLs.
I typically use this to make easy-to-type shortforms/acronyms of topic names. For example:
Main.LightweightDirectoryAccessProtocol
Main.LDAP
contains just a redirect tag. Referencing Main.LDAP
anywhere or entering it in the Go box takes one directly to Main.LightweightDirectoryAccessProtocol
%REDIRECT{"WikiWord"}%
%REDIRECT{"TWiki.WikiWord"}%
%REDIRECT{"http://google.com/"}%
Note: You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this plugin. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the plugin on the server where TWiki is running.
RedirectPlugin.zip
