Automated server script is BACK and IMPROVED

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Wiki Home

No, that's impractical due to the wiki's nature of placing images in random areas. However, I saved the images off the wiki in the first place - they should all be the same.

The directory and file name is consistent after the file has been uploaded.

 

It was a limitation of the old script that the images all had to be in the same directoy. This wasn't possible with the wiki due to it placing images in random directoies (a security feature, i assume...)

Anyway the new script has been sufficiently redesigned so that this no longer applies. I was just using my server's copies out of habit. When I get home later today, I'll change the script to uae wiki images.

Although I do wonder... if someone uploads a new version of an image, does it change the url of the image?


As in the wiki.mabinogiworld.com/somedir/image.png

Make sure IJ knows you're using the wiki images from off site, otherwise he might eventually ask why someone is leeching them.

I'll do that, but for the record, it wouldnt look like leeching - just someone(s) viewing the images with a broswer (same as if they were visiting the wiki itself)

I don't know if iframes behave the same but usually following links to images or other pages generate referral headers that show what page the link/image is on and these are logged. This can be disabled by the user but most people don't bother. It used to be used frequently to prevent image leeching. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer

I thought that only applied to web page requests. I stand corrected.

Just tried this. Basically, the Automatic image is located at http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/9/91/AutomaticStatus.png.

If we upload a new version, the current image gets moved to http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/archive/9/91/20120330200409!AutomaticStatus.png

and

the new uploaded file gets moved to http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/9/91/AutomaticStatus.png.

This means that we can use the wiki to update/modify the images with no action necessary on my part.
