Drupal: Schönere File Attachment Formulare
Dark Teddy ist unzufrieden mit Drupals File Attachment Formularen und hat eine schöne Alternative gebaut.
In my (very) own opinion, the default file attachments form, even if very functional, suffers from a few main problems :
- The fieldset wrapping it is collapsed by default and there is no setting to change this. That’s logic from a Drupal point of view, but many people miss it and just have no idea you can upload files to be attached to the content they are editing. I’d add to this that some people don’t get the meaning of the “File Attachments” label to start with.
- The form actually looks too much like… a form! The name of the uploaded files are displayed in a form (even if 99% of users won’t edit it) and if users wish to remove a file they need to check the “Delete” checkbox and then submit the node’s form.
- As a bonus, I would say that some people are disturbed by the fact that they need to select a file and then have to hit the “Attach” button.
