SID-00096: Link to attached files

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:		Perl version:
Category:	CategoryAttachments	Server OS:		Last update:	17 years ago

Hello, I linked to an attached file in a different web by typing: %PUBURL%/OtherWeb/OtherTopic/file.txt, which gives me the link: http://OtherWeb/OtherTopic/file.txt.

Is there any way to rename this link?

Thank you!

Discussion and Answer

Something seems to be odd with your TWiki configuration. %PUBURL% should contain a protocol, domain name and path. It should expand to the root of all your TWiki attachments, such as http://www.example.com/twiki/pub. Run configure and check the the {PubUrlPath}, {PubDir} and {DefaultUrlHost} settings.

Sorry for the confusion, it actually does give me something like http://www.example.com/twiki/pub. I was just wondering about renaming the link TWiki automatically generates.

You can give a link any label you want, such as [[%PUBURL%/OtherWeb/OtherTopic/file.txt][any link label for my file.txt]]
