Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.

Just trying to add this plugin and I do get the custom field, and cursor behaviour suggests it sees a link but I don’t get the drop down list of files from which to select

I’m also getting this error:

Tag error: <txp:upm_file_article /> -> Textpattern Warning: Table ‘STEPHENH.a’ doesn’t exist
select count(*) from textpattern, a where 1 and a.Status = 4 and a.Posted <= now() and (now() <= Expires or Expires = ’0000-00-00 00:00:00’) and a.Section != ‘events’

textpattern/publish.php:1106 upm_file_article()

Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
Stephen

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.

That was very quick Mary – thanks so much

I’m now getting the pop up window

The custom field which I called ‘I have a file to attach’ doesn’t give me the pop up but a new field called ‘Attach Files’ does – is this expected?

In the pop up window there are two error messages – are they important?

Notice: Undefined index: file_list_pageby in /usr/home/stephenhill/Websites/learningweb.ca/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(594) : eval()’d code on line 176

and

Notice: Undefined index: file_list_pageby in /usr/home/stephenhill/Websites/learningweb.ca/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(594) : eval()’d code on line 315

thanks again for the prompt reply and fix

Take care

Stephen

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.

Hi MobilizingMouse,
on the pop up, go to the bottom and change the value for the quantity of items displayed per page. That should fix it (errors will disappear), if I’m not too wrong.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.

Hi maniqui, not too wrong at all!

Thanks – I changed the view files number to 100 – that fixed the error messages right away

Any idea about the other query?

Screen shot

I imagined the custom named field would be where the pop up popped up, not in the automatically generated ‘Attach Files’

From Mary’s ‘Help’

This plugin allows you to associate single or multiple files with an article. It requires you to use one of your custom fields to hold the file list. The field’s human-friendly name may be anything you wish. All that you need to do is pick one to be used, then update the plugin’s preference to point to it.

So I made it very friendly ‘I have a file to attach’ – the eventual users have a wide range of computer skills (aka fear!)

Am I expecting something I should not, and should I just be happy with ‘Attach Files’?

Thanks in advance!

Stephen

If I understand well you need to install also upm_file_popper

Thanks redbot

Yes I have the popper, and it pops, but just not where I am expecting it, in my custom, named, field, as in the screen shot:

Ah yes, sorry, now I understand your point.
Anyway, as far as I remember, this is the way the plugins works.
I think you could change this with a little javascript or direct plugin modification.
Furthermore… – I really don’t like to hijack other plugins threads, so I hope Mary will forgive me – some times ago I wrote a similar plugin which tries to manage files association in a more ‘visual’ way. Maybe you’ll want to have a look.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.

“Attach files” is simply the link the opens the popup window. Once you actually choose what file to attach, the popup will insert that file information into your custom field.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.

Hi Mary!

Not sure if you still provide support for this plugin but if you do, your response will fix my nightmare!

I’m trying to display files from a files category within an article. I’m using a custom field within the article that contains the files category name.

I’m using then following code:
<txp:if_custom_field name="file_category"> <txp:upm_file_article category='<txp:custom_field name="file_category" />' /> yes </txp:if_custom_field>

The yes appears meaning the article does have the custom field, but none of the files, if any associated with the article, will display. I know I’m doing something very simple wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.

Wrong tag and attribute: you want to use upm_article_file_list with file_category.
