SID-01201: Best location to define an attachment as a variable?

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:		Perl version:

I am trying to define a html file as a sitewide variable, so i attached it it the MainTwiki.Preferences, and it showed in the variable definition. I then went to the main page of the website and tried to call the variable, and it says that the attachment doesn't exist for that page, do I have to attach it to every single place I want to use it or is there somewhere that i can just attach it once and keep using it?

Make sure the setting is a proper bullet in your Main.TWikiPreferences page. Example for %MYTESTFILE%, assuming you attached test.html to the Sandbox.WebHome page:

• Set MYTESTFILE = %PUBURL%/Sandbox/WebHome/test.html
