Use the 'Entry Attributes' feature, see http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php/Entry_Attributes

Not sure I understand your question. Uploads are stored in the appropriate directory under the server root if you have set *local_file_root* to yes, or under the web root if set to no

[intensecool]

i mean to say that if i want to attach 10 FILES FROM server root folder as i am doing for one file..



I WANT options to attach more files in a single entry , i have tried to use the URL OPTION , but its not counting the hit correctly..
Its allowing users to download the attachments even if they exceed their USERGROUP ALLOWANCES.

Thanks a lot sir, for the help you are doing to me..cause this is the only mod which can fullfill my need..

As I said in the last post, you do this by defining extra Entry Attributes.

[intensecool]

but which option is for the SERVER ROOT FILES..
i can see the option for file uploads, URL, but there is no option for the files to located via server root as you have for the default one as shown on the pics.

Define the entry attributes as type URL

On the 'Add Entry' form, fill the field with the local filename, exactly as per the standard entry url, for example /myfile.zip or /mydir/myfile.zip

Thanks for this one,, it is accepting the entry ..
but when i click to save that entry it says
Entry is not currently available

Although the files are there on scanning & i can insert the entries correctly on scanning..
but not via that options of ENTRY ATTRIBUTES.

Again, I don't know what to say. I've tested this and it works for me. I'll take a look at your site and get back to you.

This weekend, I decided to start on the vb 4.0 conversion. Much has changed, and it's been an interesting/frustrating (depending on your point of view) exercise working out how to get things to work.

Anyway to show some progress, see the attached screenshot, which is of a base category display.

Only another five million things to change/understand/edit
