File management in Wikka is supported by adding the action in a page.
Requirements
a directory for the files has to exist.
the entry upload_path in the wikka.config.php has to match the path for this directory.
the web server has to be able to write to the upload_path.
to upload files or delete attached files you must be an admin.
if you're having problems with PHP safe mode try the FilesActionSafeModeWorkaround
Show or manage attached files
insert the action {{files}} on a page
look at the list to see the files attached to the current page, their size and the date they have been added. filenames in the list become download links
Upload a file
You must be an admin to do this!
make sure {{files}} is on the page
click on the "Browse..." button to search for a file. select a file on your computer (you can only select one) .
the name should appear in the box right next to add new attachment.
click on the "+".
if you can see the file in the list, your upload was successful.
Upload and use images (with mod_rewrite enabled)
If you upload an image file with the files action (see above on how to do that) and you have mod_rewrite enabled, you won't see the image when you link to it directly or with the Unknown action "images" action. There is a solution for that:
create one page in which you put the file action. On this page, you should only upload images and no other files
upload an image
copy .htaccess from the /images directory of wikka into uploads/YourPagename
Since the files (images) in this directory will be accessible now, i.e. you aren't redirected to wikka, it is a bad idea to upload anything else than images on this page.
Create a download link
insert {{Files download="filename" text="descriptive name"}} to create a link to download file "filename".

Download a file
click on the name of a file to download it.
See Show or manage attached files or Create a download link above for creating download links
Delete a file
You must be an admin to do this!
make sure is on the page
look for the file you want to delete in the list.
click on the small "x" before the file.
