The
edit
script should always be used in conjunction with a
t="%GMTIME{"$epoch"}%"
parameter to ensure pages about to be edited are not cached in the browser
See
SCRIPTURL
if you expect to need the protocol and host e.g. if you are saving the HTML of the page and using it on a different host.
The 'old' way of building URLs using
SCRIPTURLPATH
involved concatenating the web and topic names to the
SCRIPTURLPATH
e.g.
%SCRIPTURLPATH{"script"}%/Cartoons/EvilMonkey
. This practice is
strongly discouraged, as it does not correctly handle encoding of the parts of the URL. At the first opportunity you should replace such URLs with the equivalent %SCRIPTURLPATH%{"script" topic="Cartoons.EvilMonkey"}%, which will handle URL encoding for you.
The SCRIPTURL macro does NOT support building
jsonrpc
or
rest
requests with parameters. They should still use the "contatenation" method. This is expected to be fixed in Foswiki 2.2.
