The following page text variable is on GroupA.Page1:

On GroupB.Page2, we have a custom directive (:bookmetadata GroupA.Page1:) that
generates
a table of metadata names and values, including:
|| graphic||{GroupA.Page1$:graphic} ||
This produces a link to uploads/GroupB/an-image.png, whereas we would like it
to produce a link
to uploads/GroupA/an-image.png. The code works correctly if the
(:bookmetadata:) directive is
on GroupA.Page2 -- the problem arises when we retrieve the graphic PTV from a
different group.
Is there a way, preferably easy, to do this?
According to http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Uploads under the
heading "Attachments on other pages and groups" you can use this
syntax:
Attach:Groupname./file_name.ext (note the dot after the groupname)
Does that work?
Yes and no. Attach:Groupname/an-image.png (without a dot!) correctly
references an image in a different group's uploads directory. But I
don't see an easy way to tell pmwiki to retrieve the "graphic" PTV as
Attach:GroupA/an-image.png instead of just Attach:an-image.png, if
that's what the author entered -- I can't rely on people remembering to
insert a groupname when they set up a (:graphic: Attach:an-image.png :) PTV.
And I do not understand the difference between
Attach:Groupname./file.ext and Attach:Groupname/file.ext, since the
latter seems to work.
