is available from BlueSpice 4.2.
What are file attachments?
File attachments are links on wiki pages that link directly to an uploaded file (Word document, PDF, image file,...). From BlueSpice 4.2, file attachments are directly integrated into a wiki page.
Important!Attachments on pages before BlueSpice 4.2 will be moved to the page content during the update to 4.2. This triggers a new revision (version) of each affected page.
Pages that have been in approved state will have a new draft version.
Create attachments
To create file attachments:
- Click Insert > Magic word in the VisualEditor toolbar:
- Choose "attachments" and click Done.
- Save the page. You will now see the new attachments area.
- Upload a new file to the wiki (button 1). Alternatively, choose an already existing file (button 2).
Elements of the attachments area
The appearance of the attachments area can be adjusted with settings in the attachments tag. To set the parameters, go to the edit mode of the page and click on the attachments area. The tag inspector opens. It consists of two areas:
- Prefix, Categories, Description: Default values for files that are newly uploaded to the wiki via the attachments section. The default values are also used when the toggle switch "Skip upload options" is activated. In this case, the files are transferred directly to the wiki without any further upload dialogs. The standard upload options are applied.
- Toggle switches that show or hide different columns in the attachments area.
The following parameters are available (all settings are optional):
| Parameter | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Title that should be shown at the top of the attachments area. | |
| 1 | Prefix | A prefix that should automatically be added during the upload.
Example: Product: (prefixes the filename with the namespace-prefix for the Product namespace) |
| 1 | Categories | Default categories for newly uploaded files. |
| 1 | Description | Default description for newly uploaded files. |
| 2 | Skip upload options | When uploading new files, they are uploaded directly to the wiki without showing a further settings dialogs. The standard upload options (prefix, categories, description) are applied. |
