Fix old tinylinks in Confluence

Jacques Le Roux
Administrator
Hi,

In r888559, I wrote <<I have found a way to fix old tinylinks :D
http://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=162988142>>
But I wonder now it this is possible by spaces else we are trapped :/
Could you have a look David ? I guess you are the sole person with the rights for that in OFBiz community.
We may ask Gavin also...

Thanks

I can update this on the old server at any point - someone just needs to give me the go ahead.  Let me know if this is something we want to do.

Cheers,

The current setting for General Configuration -> Server Base Url is:

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence

It looks like that is what it is supposed to be, and it doesn't appear to be a setting that can change per space or anything.

Hi David, Tim,

I wonder if this should not have been done *before* the migration?

Does that really matter now?  How can we fix it is the only question that matters at this point.

Re: Fix old tinylinks in Confluence

Jeroen van der Wal-2
In reply to this post by Jacques Le Roux
I started to explore the Wiki spaces and was overwhelmed by the amount of useful information it contains. I've polulated an index of all 545 pages (see attached pdf) and noticed that information is scattered around the various spaces and poorly accesable.

As the Wiki has everybody's attention now it might be a good timing to reorganize the information, create landingpages and set guidlines where to put what information. As a start I created a Mindmap representing the current document hierarchy which might be useful in this process.

Tell me what you think.

Tim,

It's depend how you see it. Facts 1st:
There are still 59 old tinylinks (begin by docs.ofbiz.org/x) scattered in the trunk.
There are also 18 pages in cwiki with at least one old tinylinks in.

Some persons have tried to put as much as documentation in place these last years. This in order to help the community, especially
newcomers (but not only). Hoping also that it will help the community to grow. I have always thought that an API, and at large a
software, (with little imagiantion you can see OFBiz as a very large API) without documentation is very less usefull or at least
less efficient.

I think we begin to harvest a part of our effort, and losing a part of the intelligence put there (I mean those old tinylinks, kind
of synapses) definitely annoy me.

Alternative :
1) Forget it and let them lost. Hoping (without much faith) that when people will get to them they will fix them, mmm...
2) Fix them by hand (have mercy ;o)
3) Let people know from now to not use tinylinks in cwiki. Export the 5 OFBiz cwiki spaces back to Contegix Confluence. Put
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence in place. Re-export them to cwiki. Not sure it will work, we may have to ask Confluence support
before if ever we want to got this way.
4) Find something more clever using regexp. Maybe possible because we have still both sources and I guess there are not much
different tinylinks used at all. But too tired today for elaborating that

My 2cts

Re: Fix old tinylinks in Confluence

Tim Ruppert
I don't think it's a good idea to put it back - we've moved it and forever there it will stay.  I also don't agree that you should encourage people to not use the tinyURLs - this probably only happens because the Confluence servers were setup very differently and with different purposes.  I encourage people to use tinyURLs going forward because they will always work.  This may be something you want to check with the ASF on - they're the only ones who can qualify that last statement about the tinyURLs.

Hi Tim,

I heard this before ;o). I have asked Gavin at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-2347?focusedCommentId=12788583&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_12788583.
But I'm not sure it's the right side to ask.

Re: Fix old tinylinks in Confluence

Tim, All (after all why only Tim should be concerned?),

I asked Gavin, as I expected  (to be more clear here is my question)
<<Hi Gavin,
Despite all other redirections work, we have an issue with old tinylinks (begin by docs.ofbiz.org/x).
For instance look at
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo#FAQ-Tips-Tricks-Cookbook-HowTo-Ajax:DisableBrowserCacheforModule
I found this related FAQ http://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=162988142
David confirmed that <<The current setting for General Configuration -> Server Base Url is: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence&gt;>
Could you have a look at this please ?>>

Here is his answer:
<gmcdonald> erm, I think you better look at the ofbiz wiki side of things. Having a tiny link inside asf confluence pointing to
ofbiz confluence which is set up to redirect back to asf confluence is bound to have problems, I would say that tiny links produced
with the ofbiz.org url should be changed
<gmcdonald> ... or at least check how redirection is set up at ofbiz.org, the redirects directly from ofbiz.org in some instances
point to the cwiki homepage instead of your space(s) ,this is not a tiny url or asf confluence problem as I see it

Thanks

Re: Fix old tinylinks in Confluence

I have to agree with Gavin - the only way to fix this is to fix the URLs.

So you think there are no ways to deal with these links by a specific rewrite as it's done for other links?
BTW where is this done? I would like to have it a go...

I have to agree with Gavin - the only way to fix this is to fix the URLs.

Re: Fix old tinylinks in Confluence

Tim Ruppert
There is no way to specifically rewrite the URLs from docs.ofbiz.org unless we clearly understand the algorithm they use for creating them - which we definitely can do - but it will take time that I do not have at the moment and it is very well outside of what Contegix can do.  Anyways, if someone has some rewrites that we can apply, I'm happy to get them implemented - but I do not think anyone will have one that will actually work until they get into understanding the indexing that Confluence uses.

Cheers,
Ruppert

Re: Fix old tinylinks in Confluence

Jacques Le Roux
Administrator
There is no hurry IMO, I noticed one point though. All of them begin by docs.ofbiz.org/x. I think this could help. I wonder if
nobody crossed the same issue before and will google for a solution. But as I said no hurry, if someone needs a link simply update
it.
This makes me think that we should better, if possible, keep alive the Contegix wiki before we definitively fix this issue.

Cheers
