Couple questions.
Hello,

Im running Links SQL (version 3.1.0).

Im using Links as a file download system which means that people can upload files for others to download after admin approval.

My problems that Im experiencing is this.....
1. When a registered user modifys his previously submitted content (perhaps just to change the description and nothing more) then he has to reupload the file that he originally uploaded.

What do I have to do so that the user doesnt have to reupload his content again when he just wants to change some other field in his contents record?


2. I let registered users of my system upload uncompressed files but I want to change them to a compressed version. So I download the file and compress it on my hard drive, then on the validation page I checkmark the "delete" checkbox for the uncompressed file, and I browse my hard drive for the compressed version that I just created, then I validate the record and get the following error message:

Unable to validate link, 54: Column File to Upload cannot be left blank File to Upload cannot contain the value ''

So this leaves me wondering how I can accomplish replacing the users uncompressed submission with my compressed version when validating the record.

Thanks,

          1) It seems it is doing that because your file column is configured to require a value. I'll look at a fix for that.

          2) This might be related to the first issue.
