Using Persits ASPUpload successfully to upload images and files but find the addition of the prefix a problem for our users.
They upload a file called minutesApr05.doc but store a file called DBCZ23_minutesApr05.doc and thereafter they cannot find the file (or image) because they find the prefix too difficult to deal with.
I realise that prefixing uploaded file/image names is important (in order to prevent duplicate file name problems?) but I would prefer to do away with the prefixing approach and amend the upload process so that would-be duplicates were reported to the uploading visitor with a request to change the file name before uploading it.
Has anyone done this?
The other problem our users have - regardless of the prefix issue - is using the Add Image tool. This tool allows you to point to an already uploaded image and include it in your post. Unfortunately it does not include a browse option so if you don't know or can't remember the previously uploaded file name you are in trouble and most people simply upload it again! Also the script merely says "http://" and leaves the user to type the rest. Again this isn't too helpful; has anybody found a way to add the remainder of the path (from an Admin maintained parameter) to this script?
