Topic: Upload PDF files

Hello,
I know problem has been already discussed,
but I need to find an easy solution to upload PDF and add a link to them in the news.

I haven't understood how to add the CKfinder plugin, is there an easier way to work around the CKeditor image uploader so that I can add pdfs and link to them?

Any help will be appreciated,

thanks

Re: Upload PDF files

I have understood that Cutenews was the option to upload files, you automatically create a link to download counter ...

That Cutenews version you installed?

Re: Upload PDF files

There is PDF files loading in a plugin Attachments on the page https://cutephp.com/cutenews/plugins.php. Plugin installation is easy - download plugin in cdata/plugins.

Re: Upload PDF files

Thanks I'm now able to upload pdf files https://cutephp.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

But now how do I link to them in the news?

The insert image tool does not show the pdf files, only the images...

Thank you again for the support

Re: Upload PDF files

I added the pdf extension to the allowed extension in the advanced images_tools.php of the Advanced Images plug-in.

That makes visible the pdf file in the insert image pop-up but when I try to link to it it tells me that the image source is missing.

Is there a way/hack to add a default clickable thumb or another way to work around this issue?


thanks

Re: Upload PDF files

After pasting of any attachment the following placeholders will be automatically created:
[filename=<file-name>]  - the download link
[downloads=<file-name>] - the number of downloads
[filesize=<file-name>] - file size

Re: Upload PDF files

Ok, I do see this in the manage uploaded files in the options.

Problem is that multiple people will add the news and I don't want them to copy a link from that page and than paste it in the news.
Is there a way they could just "insert link to file" in the news from the add news page?

Thank you again
