One consideration, in contemplating any change to how this works, would
be the implications of a change for secure attachments, per
<a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SecureAttachments">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SecureAttachments</a>.<br>
<br>
I think that I always assumed (oops) that read-protection of a group
automatically extended to the group's uploads. Now I'm trying to
make sure that I fully grasp how this option works, so that I can make
my wikis function the way I always thought they already did.<br>
<br>
(BTW: could Secure Attachments (the version in which the special
.htaccess file is included in the uploads directory) be considered for
the core distribution?)<br>
<br>
(And also btw: In any case, does the explanatory material in Cookbook/SecureAttachments
actually belong in the PmWiki wikigroup, since there's really no recipe
involved?)<br>
<br>
To bring this post back around to the subject of this thread: am I
right in now understanding that even using the SecureAttachment
procedure, there is no mechanism for making the read-protection of a
page extend to a file that's uploaded to that page? That even though
the point of this thread is that /references/ to uploads are done via
references to pages, not to wikigroups, that's not the same as saying
that the uploads themselves are associated with specific pages?<br>
<br>
Phew. Thanks!<br>
