Question Update File Description

[garybrain]

Hi, I have just imported the downloadII data and now want to edit the description of some of the files.

I saw a previous thread asking the same thing ( but not answer ) and that is where is the save / update button. I just want to save the description.

I can change the title, but not the new VB Editor ?

thanks

Saying that I just created a new upload filled in all the box and got back the error "You forgot to fill in the required fields, please go back".


It looks like the VB Editor is seeing that using the upload button (not flash ) is not saving the description form data.



thanks

I know it's weird but the Upload button on the bottom right will update the data in the title and description. You don't have to add a file to use that button.

Could I get access to be able to submit a download on there? I am able to create new downloads sans flash uploader on my dev site.

Hi dylan, i found the problem. I had unticked in the admin section to "allow link" - Do you wish to allow users to add links to their files when uploading?.

I allowed this (default) and it all started working again, so there must be something missing in the verification post that is not being passed.

hope this helps.

Ah thanks, I'll dig into that part of it. I haven't worked with the new editor yet so it should be interesting
