Greetings CMS Guru people,

I have a couple of questions for you:

Firstly, can I upload a PDF using the wysiwyg interface? I can't see how at the moment.

Second, my site will be accessed by lots of members who will edit their own pages - is there a way to get an email sent to the admin every time a user logs in and edits their page?

Lastly, I have pre-set up lots of members pages before launch as admin - but I need to now restrict the relevant members to their pages - is there an easy way to do that?

Thanks!

Jim

Hi Jim,

There are a couple of things you could do for the .pdf files. The easiest would be to add an upload field to your section.

You can also restrict it to only accept pdf files:

-Click on "modify" beside the field.

-Under Input Validation, there is a "file extensions allowed" field. Erase everything in the field except "pdf".

When you upload the file, the viewer will provide a text link to the file for people to download.

If you want to use the wysiwyg editor, you can upload your whatever icon you wish, then turn this into a link that points to your .pdf file. You would then use FTP to upload your .pdf onto your server.

Hope this helps.
