UploadInfo

Background and rationale

See DropBox.py

Description

A companion macro for DropBox action, which inserts a summary of uploaded (attached) files, including number, total size and date-time of most recent upload.

Usage

<<UploadInfo(["pagename"][, [mimetype=]"mimetype"][, [owners=]"Self"|'Other"|"All"])>>

All arguments are optional. Argument labels (mime_type= and owners=) are optional. If pagename is given, it must be the first argument. The arguments mimetype and owners can be included in any order provided the label is given. Otherwise, the arguments must be in order with commas as placeholders for arguments not provided.

"pagename": name of any existing page given as a quoted string. The default is the current page.

mimetype="mimetype": set to restrict the information for certain files types only, e.g. "text/plain", "application/pdf" or "image/png". The default for is "*", i.e. all mimetypes. If an unrecognised or misspelt argument is given, no match files will be found.

owners="owners": set to restrict the information to users who initially uploaded the files. "Self" for the current users, "Other" for all other users, and "All" for all users (the default if argument not set). If an unrecognised or misspelt argument is given, the marco falls back to the default and now warning is given.

Option values are not case sensitive.

The owners option can be set via the URL query string, e.g. example_wiki.net?self=other. This overrides the default, but does not override a value specifically set in a macro call.
