SCRIPTURL{"script"} -- URL of TWiki script

• Expands to the URL of the specified script. Optionally, you can specify a web and/or a topic. In that case, the URL of the script for the specified web and topic is returned.
• If ReadOnlyAndMirrorWebs is in effect and a web is specified, whether the web is a slave or not is taken into account. For a slave web, with scripts edit, save, attach, upload, and rename, the URL on the master site is returned.
  For the other scripts, if the master="on" parameter is specified, the URL on the master site is returned.
• Syntax: %SCRIPTURL{"script" ...}%
• Supported parameters:

  Parameter:	Description:	Default:
  "script"	The name of the script
  web="WEB"	Specifies a web	When a topic name is specified and a web is not, the current web is assumed
  topic="TOPIC" or topic="WEB.TOPIC"	Specifies a topic or both a web and a topic
  master="on"	A URL on the master site is needed or not	off

• If web="WEB" is specified but topic is not specified, the resulting URL ends with WEB.
• Example: To get the authenticated version of the current topic you can write %SCRIPTURL{"viewauth"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC% which expands to https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/viewauth/TWiki/VarSCRIPTURL2. It can be written %SCRIPTURL{"viewauth" topic="%TOPIC%"}% as well.
• Example: Let's assume this site has a web named 'Flowers' whose master site is http://florawiki/cgi-bin. Then %SCRIPTURL{"edit" web="Flowers"}% expands to http://florawiki/cgi-bin/edit/Flowers. This is because the 'Flower' web on this site is a slave and editing needs to happen on the master site.
• Example: Asuming above, %SCRIPTURL{"view" web="Flowers" master="on"}% expands to http://florawiki/cgi-bin/view/Flowers. The view script works on a slave site, but master="on" parameter forces to yield the master site URL.
• Example: How to link to another topic with a URL parameter: [[%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%WEB%/MyQuery?food=sushi][Sushi]]
• Note: In most cases you should use %SCRIPTURLPATH{"script"}% instead, as it works with URL rewriting much better

Comments & Questions about this Distribution Document Topic

Could we please have another worked example, for example I can't make [[%SCRIPTURL{"search" web="all"}%"?search=MyName;order=modified;limit=50;reverse=on][My activities]] work (it returns nothing)

Best to ask support questions in the Support web. In your case I would point to the WebSearchAdvanced topic.
