Hi

Thanks, I am still fairly new to it all so its taking time to get my head
around it, so I really appreciate the help.

I have been trying to set up the uploads using the cookbook instructions but
I am having trouble.

This is what I have incorrectly done

$EnableUpload = 1; 
$DefaultPasswords['upload'] = crypt('secret');
$UploadDir = "/itgswiki/img";
$UploadUrlFmt = "http://www.ruthtrumpold.id.aum/itgswiki/img"
$EnableUploadOverwrite = 0;

I have a 'img' directory inside the itgswiki home directory on my host.
At the moment it is only images but maybe pdf files later
Images common to entire site
I would like to restrict the size or at least autoresize before it hits my
server.
What I would like is do it through the edit page or an 'add image form' and
embed them immediately, ie as user friendly as possible

Thanks

Mark
