Apologies for the non-functional digital ID. I swear - this email stuff will never take off.

{attach:filename.doc} places "filename.doc" as the link name. What I want to do is give it a "friendlier" name. Many of the documents we want to post have names like:

2006.06.11.docid-01234567890-app8192.pdf

Which isn't friendly at all, when what we want to say is "Approved Contract (PDF)"

I'll use the <a href> version.

I’m trying to put a link in my document that links toan attachment. I thought it was this way: * [File 1>$xwiki.getAttachmentURL(“Main.Thispage”,“file1.pdf”]

...

But, when I actually do this (on 0.9.840), I get this link:

/xwiki/bin/edit/%2Fxwiki%2Fbin%2Fdownload%2FMain%2FThispage%2Ffile1/pdf?p arent=Main.Thispage Which >doesn’t look like an attachment URL. 1) Is getAttachmentURL() just >broken, or am I mis-interpreting it’s function (since there is no javadoc >for it)2) How do I get the URL to an attachment on the same page when I >want to link to it but give it a different link name? Thanks, -Adrian

On the right side of the text editor in xwiki give you some hints about the syntax. To create a link to a attachment you can do

{image:filename.gif} inserts an image {attach:filename.doc} creates a link

getAttachmentURL() returns the URL which you can use with the <a> HTML tag directly.
