Filter for Attachment Macro - negative Filter?

Help / Discuss
1

I there,

i am new to xwiki, so far a fanstastic system.
There is one feature i am looking for. I am using the attachment to my pages to store extra files (eg pdf, configs etc) on my pages i have serveral images inserted, so they are also displayed as attachment.

to find and display my files , i inserted the attachment macro. but this macro show also the image-files. Sure i can set a filter, but that anoying cause i dont know which file types i would add in the future so i have to edit/check the macro every time i attach a “new file”.
Can i define a negative filter, that the macro excepts the filter files? it easier to define files not to show.

Or ist there an other way to display files that i attached to an page?

Thanks
B.

What “attachment” macro are you referring to? Is it https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Attachments%20Macro or https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Attachment+Selector+Macro or something else? What is the generated wiki syntax?

My question is about the “Attachment Macro” not the Selector.

I want to list all attached files of an page except the images

The Attachments Macro is using the Live Table AFAICS, which doesn’t support negative filtering by default.

Side note: I remember I made a proposal to use the ! symbol to provide negative filtering in LT columns but I don’t recall where this proposal was made :slight_smile: Probably in some jira issue.
