linking to documents

Post by shaun-wo »

We have created a /docs/ directory in our /uploads directory. We have instructed the client to create PDFs and other documents and put them in this folder.

However, I've noticed that when I try to create a 'link' from the WYSYWYG window for the content areas, it launches a new window and seems to only be looking for images. I see the 'docs' directory and when I click on that link to see the contents of that folder, I get a blank screen.

How can I show and link to all the PDFs in that folder?

I actually have the same issue since 1.3.1. A download page is not what I want, I just need to be able to do one single PDF Link in a page. One could manually type the URL, but its a bit of a hassle for my customers who are used to go grab their PDF's with the wysiwyg "Link" (it used to work before 1.3.1).

Is this an intentional behavior or more of a bug? Does anyone know of a workaround so I can select PDF's from the TinyMCE Filebrowser again?

Try tiny 2.4.2 should see it in module manager...

Then go thru tiny admin interface to check the boxes to allow this behavior, you are trying to link a word using the chain icon link maker, right?...
