Question

I want to be able to sort the FileAttachments by Name. Presently the Attachment column in the Table links to the FileAttachment topic. I want to be able to configure Twiki so that I can sort by that column.

I suspect that I'll have to modify a perl module, perhaps Attach.pm.

The first thing I need to figure out is how is this link to the FileAttachment Topic being set?

Answer

I suggest you install the forthcoming DakarRelease as it provides this feature.

Try mousing over the Attachment column of http://develop.twiki.org/~develop/cgi-bin/view/Sandbox/TestTopicAttachmentS

If you are wondering when it will be released, just as soon as the Bugs:WebHome have been squashed.

You can help by installing Beta 3 and giving feedback, especially in terms of testing and fixing any plugin compatibility issues.

In Cairo you can edit attachtables.pattern.tmpl (in templates folder).

Change line 6:

| *I* | *[[%TWIKIWEB%.FileAttachment][Attachment]]* | *Action* | *Size* | *Date* | *Who* | *Comment* |%TMPL:END% 

| *I* | *Attachment* | *Action* | *Size* | *Date* | *Who* | *Comment* |%TMPL:END%

I've successfully used the Attachment sorting featurn on the development twiki. I've changed to the attachtables.pattern.tmpl file and then the attachtables.tmpl. The link was still pointing to the FileAttachment Topic.

Ok I've finally figured this out. It can be done by editing the attachtables.pattern.tmpl file. I was editing the template file, but I wasn't in the $cfg{TemplateDir}, so my changes had no effect.
