The "attachments" stuff if for moin to store the images relative to the page. That should work for you.

It won't work at all for access from another machine. When you use that protocol, the moin server isn't involved at all. Instead, the brower fetches the file directly from the filesystem. > I don't want to put my whole picture archive on the internet.

A space becomes "%20" in the URL. - George -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * George Dinwiddie * http://blog.gdinwiddie.com Software Development http://www.idiacomputing.com Consultant and Coach http://www.agilemaryland.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Moin-user mailing list Moin-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/moin-user
