Any page in the Twiki is capable of having uploaded files associated
with it. These files files are stored and can be displayed on this page
or others within the Twiki. For this example we'll use my profile page
which starts off with one file attached to it, the WRH logo. |
Click the "Attach" link on any page brings up a page which
lists the current attachments on that page and a Form for uploading
new attachments. Clicking the"Browse" button brings up a standard,
system "File Open" dialog we've all used to find a file to
upload. |
That's it! Clicking the "Upload File" button adds the file
as an attachment to the page. Images files can be included in the page
and other file type can have a link automatically inserted by checking
the "Create a link to the attached file at the end of the topic"
check box.
Let's look at subsequent uploaded versions. |
It's not the most intuitive procedure ever devised, but every attachment
has a link next to it labeled "action". THis brings up a page
where you can upload the new version or change properties of the attachment,
such as the comments you may have added previously. |
You must upload a file with the same name for the page to show just
the newest revision. If you upload differently named files, you will
see both files. |
Notice the modification date in the table for "what_joe_does.ins"
is newer than the one before; 01:39 as apposed to 01:33. |
If you click the "action" link again, you'll notice that
both versions are still being tracked, though only the newest is exposed
on in the normal view of the page. This allows for rolling back to a
previous version with ease. |
Any type of file can be stored. Notice here that Adobe Acrobat and
MS Word files are stored and given recognizable icons for easy visual
searching. |
