Question

• I have attached a html page to a topic (*.html).
• I expect that the attachment is opened in the browser when I click the created link but only the html code of the attachment is shown.
• If I directly click the attachment link at the bottom of the topic it is opened correctly.
• I have looked to the configure script. The filter for html and htm is set but despite of this the files are not renamed to *.html.txt. I have looked in the folder.
• I have tried a much simpler html file and it works fine within Internet Explorer but not in Firefox.
• %INCLUDE% works fine but that is not what I really want because I only want a link to the attached html file.
• Do you know what I can do in order to open a html page correctly when I just click the link and not the attachment itself?

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

The links in the attachment table go through the viewfile script - this is probably messing up the file type. We recently have changed these links to 'plain' pub urls - that is scheduled for TWiki 4.2.

In the meantime, are you able to edit the file templates/attachtable.pattern.tmpl? In that file, change %A_URL% to <a href="%PUBURL%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/%A_FILE%">%A_FILE%</a>.

Check also the {MimeTypesFileName} in configure, it should point to a valid and readable mime types files.

What is the result of %A_FILE%? At the moment, one link shows the pure code the other the correct page. Will I get the code or the correct page?

Sorry, I wanted to write <a href="%PUBURL%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/%A_FILE%">%A_FILE%</a>
