SID-01485: Get documents from SVN instead of twiki attachments

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.0	Perl version:	5.012001 (linux)
Category:	CategoryAttachments	Server OS:	Linux 2.6.32 (x86_64-linux-thread-multi)	Last update:	14 years ago

Hello

Current Situation: I have documents that are downloaded from my SVN repository and then uploaded to my twiki as attachments.

Drawback: This causes redundant files: 1 from SVN and another from twiki.

Requirement: I want that the attachments should not be needed to be uploaded into twiki. The attachments should be directly downloaded from the SVN repository from my twiki itself (not physically present in my twiki).

Benifit: Because there will be only one copy of file (from SVN), so I will also be able to refer to only the latest version of that SVN file.

Please suggest me a solution.

Thanks in advance. TM

Discussion and Answer

Define a rule in your InterwikiPlugin for your SVN site, then use it like SVN:/path/to/file.png.

You might need to enable auto-props on the Subversion server so that the image files are delivered with the proper MIME type.
