Is there any documentation on how to programmatically attach a file to a
page? I can only see documentation for checking if an attachment exists and
getting the directory path and URL for a page.

Thanks.

Not to worry - I figured it out:

AttachFile.add_attachment(request,
'Internal/meet-the-team/{0}'.format(pnNormalised), "profile.jpg",
person.photo, overwrite=1)

where "profile.jpg" is the name I want the file to have and "person.photo"
is a blob of binary data read from the LDAP server. Nice to see that the
moin moin code just handles it - I don't have to do any munging of the
blob, etc.

Having suggested AttachFile as a way of adding attachments, I just looked at 
some code that I know adds attachments programmatically - the graphviz parser 
[1] - and it appears that it uses AttachFile only to discover the directory of 
attachments for a page. Here's what it does (edited slightly):

# Use the request to create or obtain the directory for a given page.
attach_dir = AttachFile.getAttachDir(request, page_name, create=1)

# Obtain the pathname for the given leafname in the directory.
pathname = join(attach_dir, leafname).encode(config.charset)

After this, the extension just writes to the file with the given pathname (or 
rather it gets graphviz to do so). Looking inside the 
MoinMoin.action.AttachFile module, I see that the add_attachment function does 
more or less the same thing, but it also adds an entry to the history which 
might not be something the graphviz parser would want to do (since it is just 
using the attachments as temporary storage for generated images that can be 
shown conveniently by Moin).

So, maybe add_attachment is what you want unless you don't want to add history 
entries to the edit log, in which case doing only some of what that function 
does (as described above) is probably satisfactory. And if you're doing this 
kind of thing from outside Moin and are just looking to import attachments in 
"batch" mode, you could instead use the page package infrastructure [2], but 
I'll leave that for another message if you're interested in that.

Hi,

I want to create a wiki page from a python Program. Following the 
documentation I managed to do that as the user running the webserver. 
However I want to run this program as a different user. 
Whenever I do this I get a permissions error:

Make sure the directory and the subdirectory "pages" are owned by the web
server and are readable, writable and executable by the web server user
and group.

It is recommended to use absolute paths and not relative paths. Check
also the spelling of the directory name.

/share/cc_wiki/moin_cc/share/moin/data exists and is writable by the apache user but not by the user running the script.

Version is 1.9.4

I tend to run scripts against a wiki by using sudo with the -u option to 
indicate the Web server user. It is also possible to use filesystem ACLs that 
allow unrelated users to write to the wiki's files (sharing the group assigned 
to files is the "low tech" equivalent when you don't have ACLs). For example:

setfacl -m u:youruser:rw somefile
setfacl -m u:youruser:rwx somedir

(You can combine this with find to do this to many files, and I generate a 
script to do this in moinsetup.)

However, if files are created by Moin, it can be tricky to get the ACLs to 
stick to these new files, although I'm sure that if I checked the 
documentation I'd find a reasonable solution for that, too.

If anyone has any better ideas, please let us know. ;-)
