Dev Reorg Note:

The latest version of FileAttachments includes attachments under revision control. It's in the 01 Sep 2001 TWiki release.

• Current Dev topic: AttachmentsUnderRevisionControl^?

Each topic can have files attached to it. This is similar to an e-mail attachment. Just use your browser to upload or download a file.

• To upload: Click on the Attach link at the bottom of each page. A form is shown where you can browse for a file and upload it. The uploaded file will show up in the FileAttachment table.
• To download: Click on the file in the FileAttachment table.

FileAttachment table

Is a table that looks like this:

Action is:

• view: View file. This is the same as clicking on the filename.
• update: Update file that is already attached.
• add: Add a new attachment.

Remarks

• Once a file is attached it can be referenced in the topic by %ATTACHURL%/{filename} . Example:
  • Attach file: Sample.txt
  • Text is shown as: http://pyqplayer.sourceforge.net/pub/TWiki/FileAttachment/Sample.txt , i.e. it is a link.
• GIF and JPG images can be attached and shown in the text like this:
  • Attach file: Smile.gif
  • Edit topic and write text: %ATTACHURL%/Smile.gif
  • Text is shown as: , i.e. it shows up as an image.
• It is not possible to delete attached files with the current TWiki implementation. Contact dkessler@operamail.com if you need to delete files.
