[pmwiki-users] Attach: Image - Cant attach after 2 page layers.

[Omniware Systems]

Hello Petko,

	Thank you very much for your prompt and descriptive answer; both
helped in resolving the problem 
and pointing me to the actual documentation section.

What I didn't put in the original email was I'm very new at PmWiki and
even searching the 
documentation sometimes you miss the relevant points.



       Many Thanks

       Kind Regards

Hello. Please see the notes about $UploadPrefixFmt at the pages:
  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadsAdmin
  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadVariables#UploadPrefixFmt

In the default pmwiki installation, when you attach a file, it is
attached to 
the "WikiGroup" so for example all pages in Main.* can display it with 
Attach:file.jpg . You seem to want this to work from all pages and all
groups, 
in that case, you can set "Single upload directory for site-wide
uploads". 
This is configured with such a line in config.php:
   $UploadPrefixFmt = '';

Note that after this, all your current files will not be visible, until
you 
mive them like this:
  from : pmwiki/uploads/Main/error47.jpg
  to:    pmwiki/uploads/error47.jpg

and so on for all your files. (After the change, the line 
Attach:main.FAQS/error47.jpg will still work, but the part "main.FAQS/"
will 
not be required.

Thanks,
Petko
