Hello everyone, I know it's been a while since my last communication on attachments but since we moved at beginning of summer and had a lot of home improvement to do I had no time at all to work on flexwiki.
Now that I have more time I was able to get a few things working so here is the status Attachments.aspx: The topic attachments management page -add attachments with a summary. -display all attachment revisions with the following info. - File name - Author - Last modification - Size - Summary -delete an attachment. Linking to an attachment -link to an attachment ( i.e. default.aspx/Namespace/Topic/Attachment.ext ) -link to a revision ( i.e. default.aspx/Namespace/Topic/(2007-03-13-21-40-46.1562--127.0.0.1)_Attachment.ext ) Formating rules or parsing in wikitext is done for the following formats -Basic: /Attachment.ext, /[Copy of cat.jpg] -With topic: Topic/Attachment.ext, [Topic]/Attachment.ext -With namespace: Namespace.Topic/Attachment.ext -Supports relabeling -Tooltip with summay displayed -the existence of the attachment is asserted to make sure we do not link to a file that does not exist Wikitalk -Access attachments from TopicInfo This is currently working only for the FileSystem content provider. The next thing to do would be to integrate the attachment versioning with the topic versioning for the RSS feed and the newsletter but before I do this I'd like to have your input on a part of the implementation of the above. Currently when you save an attachment it creates 2 files; a file named (2007-10-21-18-44-35.3125-Author-Machine)_Attachment.ext that is the actual attachment and a file named Attachment.ext(2007-10-21-18-44-35.3125-Author-Machine).awiki that contains the wikitext for the attachment. The wikitext is there to keep the metadata about the attachment; currently the only thing saved is the summary text of the attachment entered by the user but this could be used eventually to add any other metadata like content disposition or to create user defined properties searchable by wikitalk. When we want display the list of attachments for a topic we go through all the (*)_Attachment.ext files and return the latest of each and after we ask for the summary property that's in the wikitext file. Basically the attachment module is currently Attachment.ext centric so to create a new revision of this attachment you must have a new Attachment.ext file saved. But what happens if you want to modify the summary of an attachment ? Does that create a new attachment revision ? If so then we need to create a new Attachment.ext file with the same bits as the previous one and a new updated wikitext file. That seems like a waste of resources so I started to think that maybe it would be better if the attachment module was wikitext centric instead so an attachment would be a .awiki file that would contain a link to the binary Attachment.ext file. What do you think ? Pascal ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?
