Is there a way to attach a binary file to a node? Basically, I need to attach .pdf or .doc/.odt files to some pages in my wiki. I read a thread on it in maillist archive (March'08), but truly speaking I did not understand if such feature was implemented or not...

Dear Yuri,
Thanks a lot for your help! I put "$if_logged_in" in a couple more places in sputnik/template and now it seems to be OK for the beginning.
I'm not sure that I'll be able to write a new authentication plugin - I quit my programming carrier more then 15 years ago... Though if I try, I'll let you know! :)
Best regards,
Vladimir

????: Re: [Sputnik-list] HTTP-auth for Sputnik
I can suggest three options. First, you can definitely simply put
Sputnik behind http authentication, as you would with any site. Your
users will need to then do http authentication before they see
anything. Sputnik wouldn't know whether they actually authenticated
and who they are logged in as, but this may not matter. This is also
by far the most secure way to protect your Sputnik.
Another alternative is to use Sputnik authentication, but change it to
really limit what information is displayed to non-authenticated users.
You can edit permissions in @Root and prohibit nearly all actions to
non-authenticated users (just comment out most of the options there),
leaving just enough to allow them to login. You can also hide the
navigation bar quite easily for users who are not logged in by
editing sputnik/templates node and changing
$do_nav_sections[=[
<li class='$class' id='$id'>
<a $link>$title</a>
<ul class='$class'> <!-- ul.back will be hidden via CSS -->
$subsections[[<li class='$class'><a $link>$title</a></li>]]
<li style="display:none"> </li>
</ul>
</li>]=]
to
$if_logged_in[======[
$do_nav_sections[=[
<li class='$class' id='$id'>
<a $link>$title</a>
<ul class='$class'> <!-- ul.back will be hidden via CSS -->
$subsections[[<li class='$class'><a $link>$title</a></li>]]
<li style="display:none"> </li>
</ul>
</li>]=]
]======]
Finally, it should be possible to change sputnik to actually pick up
authentication information from the headers. The less elegant way to
do this would be to edit Sputnik:translate_request () in
sputnik/lua/sputnik/init.lua to look at HTTP headers and set
request.user as you like. A better way of doing this would be to write
an a new authentication module using
sputnik/lua/sputnik/auth/simple.lua as an example. (The authentication
API would need to be extended a little bit to allow passing the
headers.)

You cannot "attach" a binary file to a node, but you can make a node
represent a binary file. You do this by choosing the appropriate
prototype, which in this case is "@Binary_File".
Go to a new node, e.g. "Test" and click "edit". Go to "Advanced
Options" and put "@Binary_File" in "Prototype". Click "save". You will
then see a different edit form, which will allow you to upload a file.
("File to upload".) Save again. You pdf file will now available as
"Test.download". If you upload an image, you can also link to it as
Test.jpg (or Test.png, depending on the format). For instance,
http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/logo.png is a node. To see it as a
node, just go to http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/logo.
If you want to make it look like the binary file "belongs" to some
node, you can make it a child of that node. E.g., if you have a node
called "Test", you can call your binary node "Test/PDF_Version" and
link to it as "Test/PDF_Version.download". You can do this to many
binary files if you want: "Test/A", "Test/B", etc.

Great, thanks a lot! I think it worth to put this description on the sputnik's web site.
