CCK field - Upload OR browse for PDF file

mollyavalon - October 25, 2009 - 22:47

My client uploads a PDF of a newsletter every quarter. I'm setting up a content type to handle the newsletter. Initially I set it up with FileField as File Upload.

Sometimes their files are much bigger than the allowed 2MB. In that case I want to be able to put the file up for them via FTP and have them browse to it.

FileField doesn't allow for browsing.

IMCEImage only works for images. Ditto for Image Assist.

If I use a text field and allow for browsing using FCKEditor and IMCE, there's a

tag around the link.

My questions:
a) Is there any way to allow the user to either upload OR browse for a file already on the server in a CCK field?
b) Does it make sense to use a text field using FCKEditor so that we can browse or upload through IMCE?
c) Is there some other solution I'm missing?

Thanks,
Mary

Thank you very much. I had looked at this module but was reluctant to use it because it's still in development. Your suggestion made me reconsider, and it's working like a charm. Yay!
