[Pmwiki-users] Re: Attach (was Re: spaces in uploaded files)

[Steven Leite]

I've always felt that Attach: should be a directive, as in, [[Attach:]]
or [[attach:]].
It doesn't feel right to include it as plain text along with the other
WikiText.  If it's special, and it's doing something (internally), it
should be apparent from it's syntax.  I vote to have this syntax put in
[[Square Brackets]].  Same with Attachlist .. should be [[attachlist:]].
I prefer all lower case to be consistent with other directives.

Hi Christian,

I'm just getting back to this...

Yup, definitely a problem.

urlencode() turns spaces into pluses.  rawurlencode() does not.

I just posted modification instructions to support spaces in filenames
to CookBook/UploadExtended
(<http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Cookbook/UploadExtended>)

%20 must be used to represent a space.  Or optionally, the Attach
markup can be changed to support spaces:

[[Attach:my file.txt]]
[[Attach:my file.txt] link to file]

As a result, this will no longer work:

[[Attach:file.txt link to file]]

Thanks,
Wayne
