Dear Mezzanine Users, I started using Mezzanine about two weeks ago, and I am already a huge fan. My clients are huge fans, too.
I have a question: How is the average non-programmer supposed to upload a PDF onto a Mezzanine site? Here is the process I used, but I am a professional programmer: 1. While editing a RichTextPage using TinyMCE, click "insert an image". (Not intuitive for non-programmers) 2. Upload a PDF, not an image file. This is allowed. 3. The PDF shows up in the "Media" browser, but you cannot click on it because it is not an image. 4. Right-click the link and "copy URL to clipboard". 5. Close the "insert an image" popup box. 6. Type "here is my PDF" in the editor. 7. Highlight "here is my PDF". 8. Click "insert a link". 9. In the HREF field, paste the URL. It gives a full URL (with domain name), so I deleted the domain name. 10. Click "done" and then save the RichTextPage. You now have a link to a PDF, and the PDF is on the server. In WordPress (which I hate with a fiery passion), uploading a PDF is really easy. Why does it seem so hard in Mezzanine? Is there an easier method that I am not aware of?
