How to Add A Simple Document to your website
- Simply enter the Edit mode for the page you are
interested in posting a file to by 'clicking' on the
'Edit Page' link at the bottom of the page.
- You will be brought into a so-called 'wiki editor'
screen with an editing window on top, some quick tips on
editing wiki nodes in the middle, and a rendition of what
the current page looks like.
- It is a good idea to read the wiki
guide if you have not yet.
- On the edit page, you can place a link to the file
you are interested in by typing in the name surrounded by
pairs of square brackets as you will see if you edit this
page.
- Use this to practice adding files. Replace
"TestFile.pdf" with the appropriate file name, including
extension (i.e., include .doc or .pdf or .dwg and don't
rely on the web browser to interpret file type)
- You will need to enter some sort of description in
the Change summary field at the bottom of the editor
window and preview your changes. If all goes well, your
link will show up in red in the bottom preview screen. If
that is ok, go ahead and save the changes using the
button in the editing screen.
- If you have not already uploaded the file at this
point, it will now show your edited page with your link
in red. We recommend that you upload all files to the
EDGE server using SVN, for several reasons. First, the
web interface will not allow upload of a file > 2 MB.
Second, the SVN interface will allow you to upload many
files and folders at once, rather than one at a time.
Finally, experience has shown that users are more likely
to retain file extensions (.doc, .pdf, etc...) if they
use the SVN interface. If you do choose to use the web
interface to upload:
- When you click on the new link, it will ask you
if you want to create a new wiki page or upload a
file. Choose to upload your file. You can upload the
file at this point or, if you have uploaded the file
to the EDGE server using SVN (recommended), the file
will already exist on the server. In either case,
your file will now reside on the EDGE server and will
be available for download by individuals who have
access your website.
- After you upload the file, EDGE will return you
to a page with a list of files that are in the
directory on EDGE that you uploaded your file to. At
this point, you can chose to Display, Edit or Delete
those files. If you want to display the page that you
were making changes to, find the name of the page in
the file list (e.g., this page is named How to Add A
Simple Document to your website) and click on the
Display option. If you want to display the contents
of the file you just uploaded, find it in the list
and click on the Display option.
