The description of the second one says what file types it accepts and PDF is not listed. Also, when you attempt upload on the first, it erases the upload of the second. So I think you need to erase the first one (especially since it doesn't list restrictions). |
 August 12, 2007 - 7:30pm | The top one is for a thumbnail image for the download. It's supposed to say "Thumbnail" above it, but seems not to for some reason. The bottom one is for the file itself. The top one is optional (if you omit the thumbnail, it will give you a generic one just like when you omit a logo for a project). The bottom one is not optional. I have some issue with the download thing. You're right... if you click "submit" after browsing to one, it tries to submit the whole form. If you select an image for the thumbnail then select a file for the File... then click the over-all "Submit" button at the bottom of the form, all works great (except the lack of progress bar). I will make sure that it says "Thumbnail" above the image download section and has some descriptive text. I'll also make sure the "File" upload is clearly identified and clearly marked as a mandatory field. I'll also get rid of the individual submit buttons, cuz people will hit them. Finally, I'll work on creating some text near the over-all submit button on the bottom, something like "Please only click once. The file and image you selected will take some time to upload to the server." Would that clarify everything, or do you have more suggestions? 3. We wear sungoggles during the day.

August 12, 2007 - 9:13pm | Alright. I made some improvements to the input form (including some nice instructions at the top of the form itself). Please read through the form and see if it's better? Then we can close this issue. 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our

August 14, 2007 - 10:26am | Alright - I figured out you were referring to the "Attachments" system on the Document section. My mistake. Yes - there were very specific types of files you could upload, and they aren't being listed: Thos should be enough I think. Try it again. Don't forget that a file attachment won't show up listed on the document unless you select the "list" checkbox. 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our
