integrating images

[Werner LEMBERG]

Doing a search for `image' in the default help pages of MoinMoin gives
no hint how to integrate images into wiki pages. Here I don't mean
how to add an external link but how and where to put images into
/usr/share/moin/mywiki (by the superuser). Are there any guidelines
or recommendations?

There are basically 3 methods for showing an image:
* just put the image url on a wiki page
* use attachment:myimage.png
* use some smiley like :) or (./)

Thanks, but this doesn't really answer my question. Assume that I
want to integrate hundreds of images into my wiki, I wonder about the
ideal location to store them? What about
<prefix>/moin/mywiki/data/img? IMHO it should be a location *within*
the `moin' tree.

* use attachment:myimage.png

Isn't the use of `attachment' deprecated due to potential security
problems?

Its not clear what is "integrate hundreds of images into my wiki".
Describe how you are going to use the images in the wiki. Are you going
to show them on one page? few pages?

No its not.

Usually images are used on some pages by attaching them to the page and
including them with `inline:` or `attachment:`. The images are stored
inside the containing page directory.

Well, this was a theoretical example. In reality I have a few images
per page.

Aah, I just see that on my local `HelpOnConfiguration/FileAttachments'
page (from the 1.3.4 bundle) I still have

Note that we plan to remove that option in 1.4. Because of that and
the security problems noted below, we do not recommend that option.

which has been removed on the MoinMoin site.

Is there an alternative method to upload such attachments to avoid DoS
attacks? For example, having a temporary ftp address where you have
to upload the file together with an md5 file, or (even better) a
GPG-signature? A cron script then checks for the validity and
integrity of the file and copies it to its final destination.
