Currently the only module I know that provides this functionality is the the disknode module, though it's not very flexible in that you're required to use the created disknode content type. http://drupal.org/project/disknode Wim Quoting Philippe Jadin <philippe.jadin@gmail.com>:
Hello,
Is there a module that allows users to attach existing files to node? The upload module only allows you to attach file from your computer, not existing files in /files.
Isn't it a very common use case ?
The upload ui could be like this :
- Upload a file from your computer (current upload box) or - Attach an existing file from your site (some sort of ajax search system + file path text input form as a fallback for js disabled browsers)
I can work on this as a contrib module, but it's strange this has not been made already. I want a compatible solution with core upload module.
Did I miss something? I wanted to ask before working on it so I don't reinvent the wheel.
Thank you
Philippe
