[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.

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.jpgView 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:

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
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
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.
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,

See also: http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/InterMap Like Petko said, Intermaps are the way to go. 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
