upm_file_packets

I use neither a proxy nor Greasemonkey. I switched off Opera’s popup blocker but it didn’t change anything.

The errors are weird. Even IE shows “Error on the page” in the status bar. I re-installed the plugin twice since the problem occured but nothing.

Would it help for testing if you sent me your plugin code directly to paste it into the “edit” textarea? If so, send it to andreas [dot] kalt at my gmail account.

I found the problem. I use the admin plugin hpw_admincss to give the admin areas of my different sites a color tinge. That plugin seems to interfere with both upm_image_popper and upm_file_packets.

Once I deactivate hpw_admincss everything’s fine.

So thanks, mary, for these great plugins and for your help.

One feature request: an “Append” function (analogous to the one in upm_image_popper) for upm_file_packets would be great.

Oh good. Well, not “good”, but you know…

> “…That plugin seems to interfere…”

Aw hell, that’s not good. And now having both plugins running I see why. Both myself and Adrian will need to revise one of our plugin’s methods. Thanks for telling me, we can’t have plugins biting each other…

> “…One feature request: an ‘Append’ function “

Er, it already does do that, that’s the default behaviour… or does that not work for you?

Yes, it does. You see, I didn’t even try it — I just assumed as the button was called “Attach” it would not do it. Sorry for that.

One cheeky question: so far, I’d handcoded the HTML for my download lists using clases on the li elements to assign different icons to different filetypes. Is there a way I could do this with the plugin?

At the moment I have to admint that I haven’t looked into it because I’m away from my computer over the weekend but I just thought perhaps you’d have a quick solution up your sleeve.

I don’t know how/if they would work together, but I found this plugin.

Thanks mary, I’ll have a look at that.

<code><txp:file_download_name /></code> doesn’t seem to wok on my clean 4.01 install. Is anyone else having this problem?

Also, is there a way to get display the file description?

There is a fix for 4.01 : see here
If you haven’t fixed it’s probably the point. ;)

I found a way to display the file download list exactly as I wanted it with different icons for different file types:

I created a category for each type of file (zip, doc, pdf, mp3) and use this code in my article form:

In the files form I have this:

If you need the file category for other information, you can also use the description field since you only have to enter three-letter descriptions (i.e. file types).

I use CSS to assign a different icon to each file type. Here’s an example

Excellent! (Files it away in that black hole of Mary’s memory…) Thanks for sharing Andreas. :)

Niconemo · 2005-10-08 08:08:09

Using the category as a CSS class is really a simple but excellent idea ! (and not only for files download) it’s an easy way to have category icons, highlighted articles and so on. I’ll keep it in mind too.

v.0.2.2. Bug fix.

thebombsite · 2005-10-16 04:31:32

Just thought I’d mention that I have the “popularity” listing working now thank you. :)

Is there any way of telling <code><txp:upm_file_packets_article_custom /></code> not to select articles that don’t have an attached download id?

Niconemo · 2005-10-17 05:19:28

I think there is an easy way : if your whole article form is between an txp:if_custom_field tag associated with the dl id custom field, nothing would be displayed if that field is empty (not tested but it should work).
