Site uploads and content editor
As mode7 pointed out, the dynamic content editor being used for body content has been acting up. This was a result of hacking away at it to force better integration into a site-wide upload system. This was a poor approach and has since been changed.
Contributors should now notice a "My files" link on the left hand side. This gives you personal storage space (200 MB) and an upload mechanism for any type of file you need. Therefore, users now 2 options for file uploads:
- Attach it to a node via the "File attachments" option when creating a blog entry, forum topic, etc. You can link to this file within the dynamic editor by copy-and-pasting the url of the attached file. If you'd like, you can uncheck the "listed" option for the file, which won't show it as an attachment but will show it wherever you linked it in your posting.
- Contributors can upload any filetype needed (large files, plugins, images, whatever) to their personal storage space and link to those files anywhere they'd wish.
Please shoot me a message if you have any issues with these options or if you've got any suggestions. I want the site to work in a way that best suits the needs of its users.
