Allowing users to embed local images into pages

[Nicolas Girard <nicolas.girard@…>]

Up to now users have been able to edit any page and add an URL to an image. If the image is located elsewhere in the Internet it's OK ; but people should be able to link a page to a local image stored in the same server as trac.

This implies:

• to allow users to upload images to a local directory, or into the SQLite database
• to define a convention as for the URL of such images
• to take care of the namespace for such images

For instance, one could imagine that these images are stored into the SQLite database and simply retrieved using their filename, say toto.png ; then there could exist but one single image named toto.png for the whole wiki pages. An alternative would be to map the images to URLs such as WikiPage/imageName.png

Ahem… sorry for the bad formatting :-(

in 0.7-pre there are wiki attachments. its possible to embed an image with e.g:

{{{
#!html
<img src="http://host/project/attachment/wiki/WikiPage/image.png?format=raw" />
}}}

unfortunately you have to add ?format=raw, so the html tag is needed. maybe it would have been better if wiki/WikiPage/attachment.foo would be the link for the raw download everywhere in trac (wiki/ticket attachment, browser)

Works, in one of two (generic) ways:

• Like vittorio explained above, use attachments. See #358 for a complete example.
• Use a locally stored image 'pool' on you webserver and link directly too them.
