Any thoughts?
Well, depending on what you mean, either you can't do that
with HTML or you can
already do that in MediaWiki.
1) Put in [[Image:My cool file.jpg]]
2) Save the page
3) Click the red link which takes you to the upload page with
that name prefilled
4) Click the browse button to select the file on your local disk
5) Click the upload button.
Ok, but is quite long winded, especially if you have several images.
You can't put in the local path and have it
automate the
upload, that just
doesn't work; you can't preset the path in an HTML file
upload element for
obvious security reasons.
Yes, I understand that, I was suggecting that you could effectivly
automate steps 3 and 4 by simply specifying the full path to the file in
the image link (i.e. [[Image:c:\My cool file.jpg]] ) and then, when you
save the page, the server can then present you with a multiple file
upload page with all of the fields already filled in for an image
upload. Then all you need to do is to double check the files that you
are going to upload and click upload, avoiding all of the clicking
through different pages (steps 3 and 4 for each file).
