Revision history [back]
Since we don't particularly care about images, but want links to uploaded files, with minor changes, we were able to implement this functionality.
Ctrl-G inserts a link instead of an image. Modify skins/default/media/js/wmd.js and in doLinkOrImage, around line 1742, remove the ! from the start tag to make it a link instead of embedding an image.
In views/writers.py, upload function, around line 59:
- Remove the check on extensions (we don't care to limit to just images)
- Changed the new_file_name to retain the original file name (instead of a numerical name)
Definitely not appropriate for everyone, but it meets our need.
If this is functionality that askbot would want to provide in the regular release, I would suggest adding a new command/icon to WMD (ctrl-F for file or ctrl-U for upload?).
Probably would require a few more changes to upload to distinguish between images (and limiting extensions) and files (without limits).
