It has been chosen for me to not enable image uploads for regular users through the
MediaWiki interface, however I still wish to allow my Wiki to use images as if they had
already been uploaded. This would presumably require me to manually copy files I wish to
"upload" to the /images directory (and any applicable subdirectories) and also
manually create a proper entry in the "image" table in the MySQL database.
So far, my attempts to simply insert the name of the image in the img_name field and
manually copy my file to "/wiki/images" have not worked. Obviously I have zero
understanding of what the fields in the image table are supposed to contain.
Can somebody please post some valid data from their image table in their database along
with the proper sub-directory structure beneath the "images" or
"upload" directory (if applicable)?
Thanks!
Rick
