image/file uploading?

I thought the new version 3.0.4 came with the file/image upload options for each link that user can submit while adding a link. I don't see anything in the add links page in admin that shows fields for image/file uploads. How does the image upload feature work - is there anything I need to enable in the database to make this available?

thanks

I agree.
This feature should definitely be build in as a standard Gossamer-Links feature, without using any plugins from other developers.....

Best regards,

To start with, you'll need a new field in your Links database for the name of the image. Once you've added this field, go to the properties of the field and choose FormType to be FILE and fill in the all the fields that say "Only for FILE types". Then I think you'll need to modify the add form and the templates where you want the image displayed. I'm not sure how different this is in version 3 from previous versions - have you had a look in the manual?

It is

My Thumb_Images plugin is for Thumbnailing images. The upload feature comes as standard (all the way back from LinksSQL 2.1.0 I believe).
