Revision history  [back]

I noticed that askbot support uploading of images, so presumably there is infrastructure in place to store binary blobs.

I would like to request support for generic attachments.
I realize we can use a link to a storage location, but it would be nice to have everything using the same front-end.

Not a huge priority, but definitely a nice feature to have in the context of a corporate site.

Update:
After thinking about this, I believe this feature could look like this:

• In the editor, add a new command (ctrl-F ?)
• ctrl-F brings up a navigation dialog to select the file
• The selected file is uploaded to a configurable directory.
• Should automatically add a unique prefix to file name to avoid name clash.
• A hyperlink (similar to ctrl-L) is linked to any highlighted text.

I believe that would provide an acceptable way to upload (and link to) files.
