SID-01272: Attachment opens an older version of the same

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.0	Perl version:	5.8.8
Category:	CategoryAttachments	Server OS:	Windows Server 2003	Last update:	14 years ago

I recently upgraded to twiki 5.1.0, and from that point on I'm trying to upload an new version of an exisiting xls attachment.

The uploading takes place fine, but when I try to view the attachment, it shows me the older version of attachment instead of the latest version.

I tried to delete the browser cache and I even tried doing the same on a new topic, but still the result is same.

Can you please help me to sort this out ?

Discussion and Answer

This seems like a browser cache issue, but then you deleted the browser cache. Not sure. What happens if you use a different browser, do you get the latest version of the attachment?

One workaround could be to always add a parameter with a version number to attachments links, e.g. instead of just %PUBURL%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/Myfile.xls you could write %PUBURL%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/Myfile.xls?r=3 in case the file is at revision 3.

Entering the revision number opened the proper xls. But the end users are used to using the code %ATTACHURL%/My.xls

Is there any option to show the latest version always ?

Or is there any option to disable attachment revisions ?
