Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
You’ll find it doesn’t in built-in Textpattern tags as well because the plugin uses the built-in function that handles this. This is for three reasons: smaller plugin; less code for me to write, debug and support; consistency with built-in tags.
li is a special case, a short-cut. Tables can have all kinds of tags desired or not desired (caption, thead, tbody, etc) which I think would be rather complicated to support and is better handled by forms. But you can feel free to present a case for adding support for this feature to the core developers (mention doWrap() and they’ll know what you’re talking about).

No worries, I totally understand. I did look at your code and notice that you were using doWrap().
As we both know, it’s more than easy enough to just work around it in the form.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
I have installed and activated this plugin. But the file link never shows up. In the form for my article I have placed a link that looks like this:
<li>Download:<upm_article_file_list form="fileLink"/></li>Form fileLink looks like this:
<txp:file_download_link><txp:file_download_name /></txp:file_download_link>Clearly I am missing something obvious about the basic operation of this plugin, but what?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
Did you associate one or more file id (using a custom field defined under “extensions ->upm_file”) to your article?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
Sorry fangonk I always used a code similar to yours and never had problems.
One last thing: are you sure you set the right custom field name under “extensions ->upm_file”?
If it is not the case I’m sorry I can’t help you further.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
You’ve used an incorrect tag name. Try:
<li>Download: <txp:upm_article_file_list form="fileLink" /></li>Offline

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
i tried reading through this thread and nothing is sinking in.
i’m trying to attach pdfs to articles.
in my article form i have:
<txp:body />
<txp:upm_file_article />
i created a custom field called “pdf”. in my article i have set the pdf custom field to be “1” because that’s the file ID of the first pdf uploaded in the files tab. in the extensions tab i set upm to be pdf.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
mrtunes,
what do you have in your “files” form? (upm_file uses a form named “files” by default)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
Sorry, I’m wrong (and you too ;) )
txp:upm_file_article is just a replacement for txp:article.
Yau may want to use txp:upm_article_file_list on your article form (under txp:body)
