um... so if we were not in those positions when the files were uploaded, and thus they were uploaded in different places, they are not to be included? i haven't actually released anything yet since i was made a CoT...

How to move files to a staff category

You may have noticed that the editing a download to move it into a staff category never really works. When you click the "Edit Download" button on a file editing page like http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=edit&id=1, the script has a nasty habit of blaring

    You have a required field that is missing information called Author

despite there being no field called Author on the page at all.

What happen?

Files uploaded in the staff categories have an extra field labeled Author (meant to allow staff to upload files on behalf of others). The problem is that the field doesn't appear for any other download category, since they don't need it. That's why when you edit a download to move it into a staff section, it doesn't work -- it's missing information in a required field that isn't there.

Now what?

One way to fix the problem would be to delete and re-upload the file in the right section, but that's too much work (for me). An easier way is to hack the form so it does have the required Author field. The simplest way to do this is simply to rename the "Change Owner" box (assuming you aren't using it) to show up as Author in the script.

• Right-click the text box labeled "Change Owner"
• Select "Inspect element," and a box should pop up with some HTML junk
• Find the line that says something like "<input type="text" name="pic_postername" id="pic_postername" value>" (it should be highlighted already), and double-click the first word "pic_postername" (the one right after name=)
• In the text box that appears, type cus_6 and press Enter

Done?

Now you can pretend that box is the Author box. Put your username there and submit the form, after changing the category to whatever you need it to be.

It might be good to make screenies and put a link to them, so I dotn need to run every program

Also interesting Deep, I never knew about that. I hate that SMF download system glitch

Sadly yes, because the last times I included projects they all ended up being discontinued the year after, so I no longer take any chance and only include released stuff from now on (S.A.D and ROL4 are included, tho)

Also the vid might arrive prior September 1st, since the newsletter will most likely follow afterward, but I'm not sure yet.

Oh Hot_Dog, quit being such a damn tease! >_<

Don't you mean for him to stop being such a "hot dog?"

Yup, lolz. Same.
