    Dear all

    Is this posible?
    - I have a Weblog ‘Sermons’ for .mp3 which will later become part of a podcast.

    - Another Weblog ‘Reviews’ exists which contains articles which mention a selected few of the above .mp3’s.

    I would like this second Weblog entry to have a link to the original, already uploaded .mp3 file without uploading it twice.

    In my example, while writing a ‘review’ entry, is there a way to enable the admin user to select from a drop down list (or another method) any one of the previously uploaded .mp3 files?

    Please ask questions if I’m not being clear enough, many thanks in advance everyone!

    Matt

    As Ingmar has stated either related entries (very good to get in to those as soon as you can if you haven’t already) can enable you to do this or also you might want to look at this really good tutorial which uses a bunch of very very good extensions to allow you to do much of what you want to do also.

    Howto:// FF Matrix + LG Replace + LG TinyMCE + imgsizer +  LG Livelook

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Best wishes,

    Mark
