    Hi all,
    I’am looking for a way to attach files to an article? Great would be to have an extra tab next to pages. Where you see a list of the files attached to the article.

    Does anybody know of suchs a plugin or module? Or do i have to create it(if thats possible).

    Grtz,

    I think most folks handle it via a custom field(s).  At least- that’s what I do.  It depends on whether I have a variable number of files/images/whatever how I handle it- and whether I also want to display them independently.  Sometimes I’ll set up a separate weblog- entry each file/image as an entry- and then have a relationship field or two where I can relate those files back to ‘main entries’.  I can then show them with the main entries using reverse relationships.  Or- I’ll just plop them in a custom field in the ‘main’ entry if I need something simple.

    I know Mark has an extension that allows you to do a simplified file upload associated with a custom field- and it will also handle multiple files in that field.

    But that said- I don’t know of anything exactly like what you’re talking about.
