As it happens, I know about the restriction because we have a use case here where the ability to see the occasional embedded doc reference via the wiki would be useful. We have a user that currently has cnouw perms, with the ‘o’ purely so they can see such wiki references. To test this feature, I created a new user with cnuw perms and set the Public Pages pref to “*.svg, *.md”, then restarted “fossil server” and tried viewing the wiki pages that refer to these SVG and Markdown files. No joy. The URLs look like this: /reponame/doc/trunk/doc/path/to/image.svg /reponame/doc/trunk/path/to/document.md If the wiki page references the target inline, as with the SVGs, you get the alt-text inline instead of the image. If the link is supposed to show you the other file as a separate page, as with the Markdown links, the Fossil server sends you to the Login/Logout page when you click the link, telling you the user doesn’t have sufficient privilege to access the URL. I then tried using absolute glob patterns, with * in place of the branch and other variable parts of the path, also with no luck. Then I started swinging the heavy hammer, setting the Public Pages pref to a single absolute glob pattern, each more specific than the last: /reponame/doc/trunk/doc/* /reponame/doc/trunk/doc/path/to/*.svg /reponame/exact/path/to/specific/file.svg Still no luck. I also tried dropping the /reponame prefix, also with no useful effect. This is with “fossil server” pointing to a directory full of fossils, so the /reponame part is required, at least in the wiki source. (We use Markdown wiki syntax here.) The last path above was actually copy-pasted from the Login/Logout page into the Public Pages box, to see if I could grant access to just that one image.

My “Default privileges” is set to ‘u’. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
