Hi List
I am running 2 wikis, one for our staff and one for students. I
would like that the content of the student wiki is indexed by the
staff wiki as well so that the stuff can search trhough all the
content without having to search in 2 separate wikis.

Is there a save way to do achive this? Like move the folder on the
disk, using the batchedit plugin or some shell skript to update all
the links and then run the indexer? What hapens to all the metadata
then?
Because of security reasons we do not want to have the students wiki
to be just a namespace inside the staff wiki.
You could try symlinking the student pages, media and metadata into
the staff wiki. Staff could then edit student pages directly from
their wiki.
staff/data/pages/students -> students/data/pages
staff/data/meta/students -> students/data/meta
staff/data/media/students -> students/data/media
or running a regular rsync for the same directories.
Student updates won't instantly be recorded in the staff search
indexes. If rsyncing you may want to force a reindex after the sync.
If using symlinks it would be handy to have a custom action plugin to
trigger reindexing of the updated file.

ps. I haven't tried the above. I hypothesize it will work :-)
