I have made a Howto video detailing how to do screenshots for the new scanners and people who have not worked with the Snipping Tool
I tried adding it to the wiki page, but one can by the looks of it only add pictures.
Any tips how I can make it available or add it to the page?
Sorry cant link the page, as it is in the HowTos section, which is not accessable from my work network.
Hi the wiki only supports png, gif, jpg, jpeg, pdf you will have to upload it to the cloud but then the user will need to have inet to download it or add it to hfs and just add the url on the page or add it on a local ftp server
Ok jy gaan vir my moet verduidelik wat n HFS server is.
Het CTWUG nie n youtube channel nie?.
@TheClown HFS is 'n home file server system wat locally kan hardloop…maklik om een te maak, jy kan gebruik maak van Xamp of wamp ook…maar onthou net om port te maak na 8080 en nie 80 nie as jy besluit om te HFS
Dankie @apex.
So moontilk n use vir daai LAMP server wat ek noudiedag opgerun het. Sal hom moet reinstall sodat ek weer van voor af kan leer.
Another quick question. The wiki can be set to allow other filetypes.
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads
Could i request that mp4 be added to the list.
In that same secttion i see that file size limits can be set too. Not sure if it can be done by file type but if not this would need to be increased too.
My 3 minute howto is 5.5mb so a 10mb restriction should be fine.
Just remember if you load up a video to wiki, just be sure that wiki’s database (if sql) can handle more than 5mb, usually with the new wamp ect database SQL can set to handle more than the 2mb in previous versions.
Our VPS don’t exactly have the largest storage spaces. Also our wiki does get spam, and I hate to think what they would do with video uploads.
Can I suggest that you consider hosting your video on YouTube (especially if it’s related to joining the wug). If you need to make it available on the wug can I suggest that you consider running a wugtube type setup and host it there.
@Jypels did it at some point and he may be willing to share some tips and ideas? His site was essentially a open source clone of youtube. That would be a great service to run and to use that for hosting videos.

@Apex if you are interested in hosting your own wugTube ,would be awesome
Because I wanted the video to be accessable on the WWW, I have put it on youtube and put a link to it on the wiki.
Thanx everyone for the input(s)
In case you are interested, here is the link to the vid.:
Thanks I’m always surprised by how many mobile photos of screens I get so like the topic.
