Hi again,

Is there any chance that you could change the attachment field in event entry so that it allows to choose a file already uploaded to the server? Possibly a default file (path) selection dialogue from J! (which has the option of choosing a file and/or uploading a new one).

I have a calendar showing courses/trainings which have the same description in a .pdf file I'd like to attach.

Another solution that would help in my problem would be allowing multiple periods for the same event (now it's one period + many single-day dates).

I tried to tweak it myself, but it's beyond my skills.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info, but I think I was misunderstood.

I was wondering however, it it was possible to copy/adapt the code from image field for the event (jform_image), and just paste it instead of the current (jform_upload_file). Seems to be a simple thing as both eventually output an url to a file, but I just can't figure out where the fields and their parameters are set.

So far I got to ..fields/modal/icfile.php and media.php and I'm comparing the syntax of those fields. Is there any other place I should be careful about (some .xml or other parameters / variables storage)?

I'd be really happy to contribute, but as I've said already - my PHP skills are rather limited, so any help / guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks, I did that and also uncommented the "select" button ine icfile.php which gives me the same window as in media selection. I just can't make J! display .pdf files although I have them allowed in media component, along with MIME type application/pdf.
(and pdfs are displayed in media component itself, just not in the window in iC)...
I'll keep working on it, thanks again for guidance.

-- edit
I had to give up - can't make J! com_media to populate the field with .pdf's url... It's really, really weird.

That's exactly the problem - I can't. All I get in media manager (J! native) is filename and icon. It's not a link, although pdf is an accepted extension and mime type. It seems to be a normal J! behaviour (I have few other sites that I manage), so it's Joomla problem, not iC.

Interesting remark - I'll check that too. Shame I've undone the changes in iC (but I think I can make them again).
I wouldn't assume the host parameters, as these are two different providers. I guess MIME type can be the answer. I'll let you know if I figure something out.
