Question

1. Is it possible to have a topic page locked for editing but still allow users to post document attachments to the topic?
   • Answer: No. If a topic is locked by user A, then user B can't attach files to the topic. Reason: When attaching, a reference to the attachment is written to the topic. This can't be done when the topic is locked. So you can't attach if the topic is locked.
2. What file formats are supported for hits in searches?
   • Answer: Only TXT. I think that only the topic files (*.txt) themselves are searched. There is no "deep search" into attachments as well.
   • Attachment filenames and the comments in the attachment table are stored in the topic as meta data so they will be searched.
3. Will my search work with strings that are not WikiWords? Can I search and get hits for non-WikiWords?
   • Answer: Yes. You can search for any simple text string, and you can do advanced searches and use regex if you like.
4. Is it possible to NOT have guest users who can change content on your site?
   • Answer: Yes. Simply remove the TWikiGuest account, or change it's password. Then only registered users may edit the site.

THANKS!

For some reason TWikiGuest re-opened this old question without adding a comment. That was probably a mistake, since GeneralQuestions12345678 was created at the same time.

I'm closing it again.

P.S. the answers above are obsolete. Attachments can be searched now.
