OK, I am just in the initial stages of setting the in-house wiki and
our managing editor asked about web collaboration for Hindu Press
International. I told "Don't Email me! Don't Tell Me All Your Ideas
Yet! (smile) Put it on the Wiki! This way we will have a solid
specification, in writing, in no time at all... " feeling happy that
at last we would get a grip on a new collaborative project from Day
One, Ground Zero with The Great PMWiki...
I made a new page for him... sent him the URL, he logs in, spends 1/2
an hour drafting his user requirements, projected work flow and output
expectations. Then being a total newbie,.. he click hits "Upload"
instead of "Save." His work is wiped out... I can't find any files on
the server with a time stamp for the moment he did this... looks like
his work is gone. A good natured fellow he shrugged his shoulders,
sighed and said "OK, I'll do it again tomorrow." I'm using the Gemini
Skin if that makes any difference.
OK, I have not yet enabled uploads on the local config.php file.
## If you want uploads enabled on your system, set $EnableUpload=1.
## You'll also need to set a default upload password, or else set
## passwords on individual groups and pages. For more information
## see PmWiki.UploadsAdmin.
# $EnableUpload = 1;
# $DefaultPasswords['upload'] = crypt('secret');
So this link:
http://ourInHouseServer/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Editorial.HpiInternational?
action=upload
which should just be "dead" and do nothing, actually does something:
delete all content on the page.
Is this a bug? or did I do something wrong?
