(discussed on the devlist) dev:forumthread79037
On a Tiki24 I use a tracker with a file tracker field to set file with items.
I see, under the upload button, an URL field (both are displayed together) and this is because on this Tiki "Upload files from remote source” has been enabled. (fgal_upload_from_source)
Simple "users" won't have any clue about what to do with a button + an URL field without even a note that it is one or the other. (there is no help text)
I have also some concern about the way it handles problems.
For example I uploaded and image and also set an URL then save. ?The files is saved in the file gallery but the URL is gone.
There should be some kind of error telling the user he is gonna loose the URL (or better handling anyway).- Solution
A top parameter (other parameters visibility will change depending this parameter) to select the source of a file should be added to the tracker File field with the following options:
"Select source" (default blank)
"From File Gallery"
"From remote URL"
"From File Gallery and remote URL"If set to "From File Gallery" (or both) we display all the actual parameters (nothing really changed)
If set to "From remote URL" we display a field to store the URL and any parameter related to File Gallery is hidden.
If set to "From File Gallery and remote URL" all the actual parameters + a field to store the URL.
Following this, even if a file gallery as fgal_upload_from_source set to yes, the option to save an URL is not used for the tracker file field type.- Importance
