uploadable Namespace handling

The following links and text snippets describe and reference the "uploadable" parameter for field in SMW Forms (hope this is the right issue tracker for this)

Specifies that a link should be placed next to this field, that opens a popup window to let the user upload a file; see "Uploading files", below. See

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Defining_forms#.27field.27_tag https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Defining_forms#Uploading_files

The type of the target property seems to have to be Page for this to work, there is no special standard datatype for images in:

https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:List_of_datatypes

There are explanations in how this works at:

http://smw.referata.com/wiki/Using_Semantic_Forms_for_file_pages_and_uploads http://discoursedb.org/wiki/Form:Images_test http://discoursedb.org/wiki/Special:FormEdit/Images_test/ImageTest

and there has been a discussion how to handle the "File:" namespace prefix: http://semediawiki-devel.narkive.com/gm7hJMBE/smw-devel-sf-turning-uploadable-into-input-type-upload

Now I assume that at this point the "File:" part is not handled by the uploadable flag (at least not by default).

It would be great to have solution (or if one exists a proper documentation pointer to it) that allows the File: prefix to be added automatically so that the full page description File:someImage is available as the result of "uploadable".

What would be a workaround or solution or pointer to a solution for this?

I have filed a bug report at * https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/issues/1036 to notify the developers

I always use a property of datatype text for storing the file names and I never add the namespace to this property. Thus I can do whatever I like with the stored value in the template which is holding it, i.e. link it to "Media:" or to "File:".

You could e.g. do [[Is file::File:{{{File|}}}]] in the template to add the namespace if you would really like to add the namespace directly.
