Attaching files
We enabled attachment of PDF files to the Wiki, but no other documents. Jost go to Special:Upload and upload the file and then ling to it via [[File:filename.pdf]]
Converting documents
Software needed
- LibreOffice
- Wiki Publisher Extension
- If we use LibreOffice 3.3+ the Wiki Publisher Extension comes with the base install
Steps
- Load the document into LibreOffice Writer (note that PDF files load into LibreOffice Draw, you need to convert a PDF into another format using something like http://www.pdfonline.com/pdf-to-word-converter/ before loading it)
- Export: variant 1
- Export to Mediawiki.txt
- Copy into wiki page
- Export: variant 2
- Send to Mediawiki
Note that this does not always work perfectly for converted PDF files.
