You can also define a custom intermap entry so that you would just use Image:SantaBarbara.jpg If you ever move the wiki, all you would have to redefine is the intermap definition for Image. ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

Yes, you can use a "Path:" link to point to files on the server, but that are
not on the wiki uploads directory structure:
Path:/images/SantaBarbara.jpg
If the link ends with .jpg, .gif or .png, it will be considered as an inline
image. To add a tooltip title, use
Path:/images/SantaBarbara.jpg"View from Santa Barbara"
To only link to the file, use
[[Path:/images/SantaBarbara.jpg|this is a link]]
This way you can also link to other files on the same website, like old HTML
pages. See also:

Use Path: markup like above. Attach: works only for files "attached" to a page
like this:
Attach:SantaBarbara.jpg #attached to the current page
Attach:OtherPage/SantaBarbara.jpg#attached to OtherPage
Attach:OtherGroup./SantaBarbara.jpg #attached to OtherGroup, note the "."
Attach:OtherGroup.Page/SantaBarbara.jpg #attached to Page in OtherGroup

Yes. there is. You can enable uploads but set an invalid password like this:
$EnableUploads = 1;
$DefaultPasswords['upload'] = '*';
This way the uploads functions are loaded, but because of an invalid/blocked
uploads password, noone can upload files. (The password in not "*", it is
just blocked.)
However, being able to quickly attach a file through HTTP is a really really
usefull feature, so you may consider alowing uploads at least to yourself. To
do this, set a real uploads password like this:
$EnableUploads = 1;
$DefaultPasswords['upload'] = crypt('mysecretpassword');
Or, you can tell PmWiki to allow uploads only to the administrator:
$EnableUploads = 1;
$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = crypt('mysecretpassword'); # admin pw
$HandleAuth['upload'] = 'admin'; # use admin pw for uploads
Enjoy,
Petko

[pmwiki-users] Inserting files from the local file system
Two questions/problems I am running into: 1. I have pmwiki set up in my web server root. I have a directory called "images", with image files in it, including one called "SantaBarbara.jpg". I would like to attach the image to a wiki page. I can do it by linking to the actual url of the file, in the form http://my.web.site/images/SantaBarbara.jpg. I am wondering if there is a simpler way to connect to a local file, maybe with a relative link, without having to type the whole url and create a static link (that would not change if I move the wiki to another site)? 2. For some reason the Attach markup does not work for me - maybe because I did not allow attachment by authors, which is intentional. I tried the following, and each gives me a text result, not the image file: Attach:"/images/SantaBarbara.jpg" Attach:"images/SantaBarbara.jpg" "Attach:images/SantaBarbara.jpg" "Attach:/images/SantaBarbara.jpg" Is there a way to allow attachments without allowing uploads? I want access to the uploads to be through ftp or scp, not via pmwiki. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply, Hagan, Now I get the following error message: "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.jong..." I suspect my problem is failing to understand the directory structure at DreamHost, where I host 4 domains on one account. At my previous hosting service (opensourcehost), I was able to see a unified view of all the directories in my account, whereas until I saw the error message I had no idea that such a path as the one above even existed. I think perhaps I'd better do some more research at DreamHost before going any further. Thanks again, Rick On Apr 7, 2007, at 6:14 pm, H.

[pmwiki-users] installation woes: links from homepage add "cgi-system/php.cgi?n="
Hello, I've just installed PmWiki (http://www.winkhome.org/pmwiki/ pmwiki.php), and manually created a wiki.d directory with permissions 777. The homepage comes up OK, with no error messages, but the path to the Edit button and all internal links is incorrect, featuring a directory that doesn't exist. I remember in the past when installing PmWiki that, when there were permissions problems, PmWiki would give error messages explaining how to reset the permissions. This is the first time that I've experienced no error messages but an erroneous path. (It's also the first time for me to install PmWiki on Dreamhost.) Any ideas where I might have gone wrong?
