How do I attach or upload a file to an article?

There are two types of attachments:
- When an article is created, one can upload plain text
or html to be used as the body of the article.
- After the article is created, one can upload
one or more named
files of any type, for example, PowerPoint.
When an
article is added one can
select whether file uploads are allowed.
If you upload a file with the same name as an
already existing file, then the contents of the
file is replaced with the contents of the upload.
Note that there is currently a 5Mb (actually 5,242,880 bytes) limit to the
size of the attachment that can be uploaded.
(The size is set in /usr/local/lib/php3.ini)
If you would like to share larger files, then you may
want to set up your workgroup to use CVS authoring.
For details, see:
How do I edit pages in a group with the "CVS Authoring" option?
Don't forget that if you are checking in binary files,
you should use cvs add -kb filename
so that CVS knows that the file is a binary file.
For information about sharing files via email, see:
Why doesn't the GSRC Mailman system handle large attachments? | |
