What to do when I want dynamic inclusion in Main namespace?

[AdSvS]

Hi,

I only want attachements in certain categories and not on all pages of Main namespace.

Added $wgPageAttachment_allowedNameSpaces[] = ''; to SiteSpecificConfigurations.php but that didn't work. 

Then I changed the statement in DefaultConfigurations.php to the same, but that doesn't work either. 

Still get attachements everywhere.

What can I do to have dynamic inclusion in Main namespace?

Thanks!

Hi Ad:

First, to remove all allowed namespaces, add the following line in the SiteSpecificConfigurations.php file:

unset($wgPageAttachment_allowedNameSpaces);

The reason being, the way PHP works is that when you do the following, you are actually adding new values to the array and not clearing the existing values.

$wgPageAttachment_allowedNameSpaces[] = '';

Second, suppose you want the pages in category "DOCS" to have attachments, then add the following line in the configuration file:

$wgPageAttachment_allowedCategories[] = 'DOCS';

Third, to allow specifying dynamically which pages should have attachments by adding "__ATTACHMENTS__" token in the page, add the following line to the configuration file:

$wgPageAttachment_allowAttachmentsUsingMagicWord = true;

Fourth, in case you want to change __ATTACHMENTS__ token to something else, perhaps to __AA__ to shorten the token to mean "Allow Attachments" then add the following line to the configuration file:

$wgPageAttachment_magicWordToAllowAttachments = '__AA__';

Let me know if the foregoing resolve your issues.

Sincerely yours,

Aldrin
