[Nfb-web] Question about Drupal

[E.J. Zufelt]

Knowing nothing of the setup, and being a little unclear about the desired behavior, here is some quick guidance.

1. In Drupal 6 the best way to add a file to a piece of content is by adding a file field to a content type.

1. You need the CCK (Content Creation Kit) and FileField modules.

2. Download, install, enable modules.

3. Create a new content type, or edit existing and add a file field.

Short and dirty solution.

Make sure file is uploaded (ftp etc.) to /sites/all/files and put a link to the file in your content

Note: /sites/all/files is relative to the root of your Drupal installation.
