Downloads

It allows and admin or any with 'uploads.admin' rights to upload a file to the server via the GL interface.

Lots of plugins allow you to do this so what's new?
This plugin was another one from SummitPages.ca designed for the HTML illiterate. It will return a string of text that can be copied and pasted into your site's content and it will serve as a link to that newly uploaded file.

supported file extensions include: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, mp3, and pdf.

For example:
-upload an image file and you will get
<img src="http://yoursite.com/media/yourfile.jpg" alt="insert alternate text here" />
-upload a pdf file and you will get
<a href="http://yoursite.com/media/yourfile.pdf">insert link text here</a>

Just copy and paste. If you are pasting into the story editor, keep in mind the allowable HTML tags defined in your site's config.php.

Enjoy!
