Hello,

On a Tiki24 I use a tracker with a file tracker field to set file with items.

I see, under the upload button, an URL field (both are displayed together) and this is because on this Tiki "Upload files from remote source” has been enabled. (fgal_upload_from_source)

I have some mixed feeling about the way it is implemented in the tracker file type case.

Simple "users" won't have any clue about what to do with a button + an URL field without even a note that it is one or the other. (there is no help text)

I have some concern about the way it handles problems. For example I uploaded and image and also set an URL then save. 😈

The files is saved in the file gallery but the URL is gone.
There should be some kind of error telling the user he is gonna loose the URL (or better handling anyway).

Shouldn’t we have a way to “cancel” upload from source (have it optional) when used in a tracker file field ?

Regards,
Bernard
