There's nothing in [[fileupload]] that suggests putting the file upload limit in the body of a page. That would indeed be a strange choice. Ikiwiki already uses [[PageSpecs|PageSpec]] in the Preferences page (for specifying locked pages, banned users, and subscriptions), and I had envisioned putting the file upload controls there, and possibly subsuming some of those other controls into them.
Thanks for clarifying; I clearly misunderstood the original text. -- Ben
It's not clear to me that the concept of attaching files to a page fits ikiwiki very well; unlike most wikis, ikiwiki supports subdirectories and [[SubPages|SubPage]], which allows for hierarchical placement of uploaded files, which is a much more flexible concept than simple attachment. Futhermore, the idea of listing all attached files at the bottom of a page seems somewhat inflexible. What if I want to make a podcast, using inline's existing support for that -- I won't want a list of every "attached" file at the bottom of my podcast's page then.
If a file was attached to some-dir/some-page, it would be stored in some-dir/ and linked from some-page. That would seem reasonably hierarchical to me. What do you suggest as an alternative?
I'd suggest some-dir/some-page/file, which nicely makes clear that the file is "attached" to some-page, allows easy wikilinks to "file" from some-page, and has other nice properties.
As for the attachment list, I envisaged that being optional. --Ben
So some kind of preprocessor directive that is added to a page to generate the attachment list?
I don't understand why the file size would need to be stored in the index file; this information is available by statting the file, surely? Similarly, the mime type can be determined through inspection, unless there turns out to be a reason to need to cache it for speed.
