Suddenly I cannot upload a pdf file on my 1.0 wiki. It seems to work, says "file uploaded successfully", but the new file does not appear in the list of uploaded files. It will still upload a word document ok. I need to do a pdf because that format should be accessible to more people. I used to be able to do this--what changed? and how do I fix it?.

I am trying to add an AVI video to the wiki. it is quite big, 400mb. However, after the first 4mb or so, the connection stops communicating. I use a little upload/download monitor so that's how I can tell, even though the screen says "uploading video" or whatever.
Isn't there a better way of uploading videos? I have no problem uploading and downloading big files over ftp, html, etc. ordinarily.
This is a business-critical video that needs to get out there to our partners so your help would be appreciated.

why cant i upload movies in 2.0 or 1.0 free wikis?I want to upload a movie for my title and it wont work.

We have some flowcharts that we want to be able to put up on our wiki using diagram designer but when I copy from the page it won't let me paste in wiki, so I then tried to upload the file which worked but it came out as a link. So I clicked an the link to see if that would bring it up but it didn't. Can someone please help as this is boggling me on how to make it work.

I uploaded a Word file. Now I want to create a link to it from one of my pages. How do I know what the URL is for the file?

I'm having trouble with different versions of the same file; after changing a file and uploading it again, I keep seeing the same file. I even ran this experiment. I upload the revised file and let pbwiki rename it with a -1 appended to the name. I then looked at each file from the list and they were different as they should be. I then deleted the original one and renamed the new one to the old name. Now when I looked at the new file renamed using the original filename, I was again looking at the old file. There must be some buffering going on. This has happened before. The only way to get around it seems to be to let it append the -1 on the file name and then change the link to look at this revised filename. Anything else doesn't work. (incidentally, I knew the old file from the new because the old file had some colored text and the new one has all black text). Any thoughts?

I've tried AVI , FLV, MOV, WMV formats. Same message :(

Why am I not allowed to upload *.sxi files to my pbwiki? It's just a open source powerpoint!

They are excel workbooks. I have tried to open, download, ect. the links are unresponsive.

Hello,

Is there a trick to uploading files? I had a complaint that a user tried to load an updated document but the wiki would not show the changes? He said he had to change the name of the file to get the new version to load. I can think of all sorts of reasons we don't want to do this such as having to create a new link and naming convention problems.

I would like to add a powerpoint slide presentation with narration to our class wiki page. I have uploaded a saved powerpoint file by clicking on attach file. It uploads with a icon that is a page with a question mark in it. From my mac, proceed to open it, and it asks me to choose a program to open it. I have to choose powerpoint to open it. The slides show up in the program and I have to choose -->view slide show, to see the show. The narration does not come up. Instead it says that narration (file) is not found.
My Question is...
How do I upload the slide show on the wiki and make it easy for people to open and access it. As my students are young... 8 -9 years old, and we spent many hours learning powerpoint and recording narration, I would like to stick with this program.

Thanks.

I have an excel spreadsheet that I would like to display on the site but not as an attachment.
I know that I am currently required to download, edit, and re - upload, but how do i get the contents of the excel sheet to be displayed?

I am sure this is an easy question...what kinds of file uploads are possible with pbwiki?

I have been trying to add images to my wiki (which, unfortunately, is just a school assignment), but it is not working. No matter what I do it won't work. I have read all of the help topics, and the instructions do not seem applicable to the options that I have on my editing screen. I have been working on this for 2 hours, and I am about to start crying because nothing is working. The 2 images that I want to add are in my "Files" but I can't seem to do anything with them.

The only new thing that I did was to try to upload a new file (to which one of the links would map).

How can I get my sidebar back intact?

I uploaded a MS Word doc on my wiki page and realized I needed to make some changes to it. Now when I save it locally on my machine, edit it and try to re-upload, the wiki picks up and attaches the older unedited version. There is no way I can remove the older version from the wiki either. What do I do?
