<br>@earnie Please stop telling developers discussing development to use the support list. This list was started as "a list for Drupal developers"....<br><br><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110522011442/http://drupal.org/mailing-lists">http://web.archive.org/web/20110522011442/http://drupal.org/mailing-lists</a><br>
<br>At some point the description of the list was changed to core development. Since core conversations rarely happen on this list, I'd like to see that changed back and limit suggestions to use the support list to questions about using Drupal or a specific module. <br>

have a content type with TWO file fields, in which I

don't see any standard mechanism and so I'm not sure
how to go about this. I have a general understanding,
but that doesn't answer the question. I am sure I
don't want to intercept all possible uploads; just the
uploads from this specific content type. So, can I
define a file upload hook which is scoped to this
specific content type? I haven't seen anything that
makes me believe I can. Can I create a custom file
field to use any time I need to perform a conversion?
Can my custom file field "extend" the existing file
field, so I don't have to port improvements/bugfixes
to my custom file field version?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
