README

FileField provides an "File" field type to CCK. It provides many advantages over
the Drupal core "Upload" module including:

* Per-field upload control (file extensions, file size).
* Per-node upload size limits.
* Multiple fields per content type.
* Customizable paths for saving uploads (plus token support for dynamic paths).
* Icons for uploaded file types.

FileField was written by Darrel Opry (dopry).
Maintained by Nathan Haug (quicksketch) and Andrew Morton (drewish).

Dependencies
------------
* Content

FileField also provides additional features when used with the following:

* ImageField (See an image preview during editing.)
* Token (Generate dynamic paths when saving images.)
* ImageCache (Create thumbnails of images on output.)

If your site is any larger than a personal blog, you should definitely install
the following modules to increase the security and stability of your uploads.

* Transliteration (Convert unsafe characters to file system safe names.)
* MimeDetect (Check the content of files to ensure they match the extension.)

Install
-------

1) Copy the filefield folder to the modules folder in your installation.

2) Enable the module using Administer -> Site building -> Modules
(/admin/build/modules).

3) Create a new file field in through CCK's interface. Visit Administer ->
Content management -> Content types (admin/content/types), then click
Manage fields on the type you want to add an file upload field. Select
"File" as the field type and "File" as the widget type to create a new
field.

4) Upload files on the node form for the type that you set up.
