Uploading Files

Uploading Files

Publish Date allows users to upload images, documents, and other media files for use within wiki pages. This guide explains how to enable uploads and how to insert files into pages properly.

Uploading a File

1. Log in to your account.
2. Navigate to Special:Upload.
3. Click Choose File.
4. Enter a destination filename.
5. Add a description and licensing information.
6. Click Upload file.

After uploading, the file will be available at:

File:Filename.ext

Using Uploaded Files in Pages

Display an Image

<syntaxhighlight lang="wiki">

File:Example.jpg

Caption here

</syntaxhighlight>

Display Without Thumbnail

<syntaxhighlight lang="wiki"> File:Example.jpg </syntaxhighlight>

Link to a PDF or Document

<syntaxhighlight lang="wiki"> File:Document.pdf </syntaxhighlight>

To create a direct link:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wiki"> File:document.pdf </syntaxhighlight>

Allowing Additional File Types

To allow additional formats:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> $wgFileExtensions[] = 'svg'; $wgFileExtensions[] = 'webp'; </syntaxhighlight>

To disable strict file extension checking:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; </syntaxhighlight>

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Upload option missing	Ensure $wgEnableUploads = true;
File type not allowed	Add the extension to $wgFileExtensions
Permission denied	Check folder permissions on the /images directory
File too large	Increase $wgMaxUploadSize and PHP upload_max_filesize
