Questions about document attachments
I'm a new user of Kentico (our agency website was just revamped using Kentico). Apologies if this is in the wrong Forum. We're on v6.0.23 (SP1).
We have been using the "attachments" feature to upload documents that are associated with each page, and linking to each attachment at the appropriate place in the page text. Recently two situations have come up that are probably related, but I can't find the answer. Remember that I'm a new Kentico user and am looking for solutions that are possible using the CMS Desk/Site Manager UI, although if you give me detailed instructions on how to implement other solutions (using code/transformations(?)/etc.) I am willing to give it a try.
1) I moved some text (using cut and paste), including hyperlinks, from one page to another. I would like to "move" the attachments as well. Is there some way to get at the metadata behind the attachment and change which document it is associated with? I am able to see all attachments in one list via the Site Manager / Administration / System / Files / Attachments page, but that only allows me to copy and/or delete from the filesystem and/or database (note that our system is set to store attachments in both the filesystem and database--is that wise?). The only brute force solution I could think of is to delete the attachment from one page and re-upload it on the other, but I would like to avoid that.
2) I would like to create a link on a page to an attachment from another page. Is that possible? I could always upload the same file as an attachments to each page, but that seems inefficient, and would require me to manage updates to the file in both places.
Thanks, Keith Miller
