On vB Cloud I am trying to stage a few Article pages. I am saving the pages as Drafts until they are ready to be opened. I have found the process on the Cloud to be extremely time consuming and frustrating due to quirks in the way that vB handles Attached Files.
After uploading PDF or image files like PNG for example, the tiles are originally listed in the Attached Files list as
or
, but after saving the Draft, sometimes the files are re-named
or
. This makes figuring out which file is which extremely difficult. It also sometimes breaks links to those files in the Page. Sometimes the links to the files will survive an edit, sometimes they become broken. It is really frustrating and time consuming to have to essentiall re-do all of the links or file Inserts on a page every time I make an update.
Is there any way to retain the original file name of attachments?
I am considering setting up an external server to host files and then just link to them. However, then I lose vB's tracking of downloads.I also lose some of the security of having vB control access permissions.
