Summary

FlexWiki makes it easy to display pictures and other images by either using a URL to an image file, but there's no obvious place to put them. It would be great to have each ContentBase have a well-established place for uploaded images -- with an easy upload button.

It would be nice to be able to upload to somewhere other than the server where the Wiki runs. I suspect I'm deeply in the minority here, but my ASP.NET hosting account doesn't have a huge amount of space, while I have tons of space at another provider. I imagine being able to specify an FTP username/password and a path to the remote server, and the Wiki software could upload there, but still reference the files. As I said, I'm sure this is a fringe case. -- TommyWilliams

Perhaps better would be an upload function on each page, which stored stuff in wikibases/namespace/images/pagename/. Then on the page you could have a list of images available when editting a document. Links to images from this page could just be image:ImageName - from other pages could be image:Namespace.Page.ImageName or image:Page.ImageName -- JamesBerry

An upload function is not really necessary on every page, you could leave an extra browser window (tab) open to upload the images, while in the other window you would edit a Wiki page. Anyway, I've made a WikiUploadPageScript, detailed installation instructions will follow, they have to be translated first. -- WouterCX

I think it is important to be able to use images regardless of the site base URL. I see no reason why it would be necessary to use absolute URLs in order to display images. We should be able to reference images and documents in a short and simple way. We should also be able to reference a full URL when necessary. I like JamesBerry solution's because it is simple and easy to use. Documents are never lost unless you delete the page, which require to manually type "delete". Sounds good. vincentL
