Hey all,
I have been merrily using EE 1.68 for some time, for a number of sites, which I mainly maintain and administer. I would like to allow my users to add content to my site via a custom form, which I understand and have used previously.
The problem I have is that the way in which EE 1.68 handles image uploads would completely fox the user base I have. They are used to very simple web controls to pick an image, click upload and a thumbnail appears.
This is not how EE 1.68 works, where the actual sting to the image needs to be inserted into a text field, via the image upload dialogues. This is just too cryptic for non-technical folks.
Please do not say “Upgrade to EE2.x” as that is currently not an option for me, hence why I have posted into the EE1.x forum.
Has anyone got a dead easy and simple solution to this please? The net result will be that the field that contains the file path will be updated (as a hidden field), but the user experience has to be very very simple.
Please help if you can!
Cheers, Mark.
