specify a link or uplaod a pdf file for a news item --newbie help Can't Post
Hello,

This is my first experience with Page Publisher and am liking it. I have a small problem if someone can help me with it.

In my news section, for every news item I want my my users to have the option of either specifying a URL to an asp or html page or upload a pdf file for that news item. Currently I can use "publish type=link" or "publish type=file_select" to specify a link or upload a file. How can I combine these two options.

Please help

Hi there.

Thanks for posting and welcome to the boards!

With the file_select publishing tag if you add a “allowurl=yes” attribute to it, your users would get the option of choosing either a file from their desktop, or a URL.

The full code would look something like this:

Code
    <!-- publish type="file_select" allowupload="yes" uploaddir="" allowremove="yes" allowurl="yes" name="File Upload/Selection"--><!--  --><!-- /publish -->

Could I get you to give this a shot and let me know if it gets you going?

Feel free to get back in touch if you have anymore questions Smile.

Thank you for suggesting that. I should have mentioned in my post that I had already tried that. I added asp,html to the "accepted upload extensions" but could not get it to work. This is the error I was getting when I specified the URL and clicked "Add":

Error : Undefined subroutine &main::sq called at c:\inetpub\serverroot\pp\pp.cgi line 105.

And this is what I am using:
<!-- publish type="file_select" name="Click Add to Upload a File" allowupload="yes" uploaddir="" allowremove="no" allowurl="yes" allowadd="yes" --><a href="">Click Here</a><!-- /publish -->

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong

Regards

Hi there.

Thanks for the update!

The first thing to try when you are getting that error message is to re-upload the pp.cgi file. Just make sure that you upload it as ASCII though Wink.

If that doesn’t get you going, could you fill out a support request for me here:

And I’ll take a closer look at it for you.

Just let me know how you are making out Smile.
