texte = Two questions:1. I see from the documentation provided with the demo version that there is a [writefile] context that enables you to write to a specified file. I am thinking to utilize this context to create a system where the user can write text into a textfiled i a browser form an then create a textfile from the contents of that textfile. But I also have to know how to make a delete command for the file created. I cannot find any specific command to do this. I know it would be possible with embedded applescript, but I want to know if this workaround is unnecessary. I would like to avoid the slowdown of applescript in an otherwise fast solution.2. Any suggestions on how to implement an file upload feature in a publishing system based on WebCat? I would like the user to be able to attach a picture using the tag. As far as I know, WebCat hasnt any context/command to do this, or has it? The Webstar upload plugin is out of the question because I cannot control the name of the file, nor register the upload in a database.Any suggestions welcome!!By the way: I am using WebSTAR 2.1 on a Macintosh.Per Christian Lied (pk@pluto.wit.no) Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
