I have uploaded a pdf file for John Rose (Rose John 1765-1849 Will) but I cannot attach this to John. It appears that the drop-down of names only includes 15 and he is not in that first 15. Any suggestions?

Hi Sherry this LINK below , by CLICKING on JOHN ROSE will send to MY PDF. and you would put it in your JOHN ROSE NOTES.

If you go to your UPLOAD PDF media FILE. RIGHT CLICK THE TEXT and select COPY LINK ADDRESS and you just PASTE into where the XXXX are

YOURS PASTE PDF ADDRESS

<a href="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX">JOHN ROSE</a>

then put in JOHN ROSE NOTES

MY EXAMPLE

<a href="https://www.tribalpages.com/tpdocs/vyepar_1050.pdf">JOHN ROSE</a>

All the best

Thanks Les...I did run into your post regarding linking after I posted; however, the issue needs to be corrected. There is no reason why I can post an image to anyone in my tree, yet not post another file format. I understand that this is a relatively new feature (just found out about it last week). I think it would enhance the site if they apply the same structure to "other media".

It would also be great if "other media" is sorted alphabetically but I am very happy that tribalpages has enhanced their site to include this feature. I no longer have to type out Wills from Scotland!!!! I imagine that we will go through the space requirement for "other media" relatively fast.

Many of us rely upon you Les...probably more than you realize......you have helped me a quite a few times and I always enjoy reading your posts.

This is a shortcoming in our design. Sorry about that.

We did not imagine that there would be more than 15 identical names on a site. We are looking into a solution.

Meanwhile you could change the name of that individual to a more unique name, attach the document, then change it back to the real name.

My LINK is simpler as you can use it for any of the UPLOADS not JUST PDF.

THIS IS NOT A WORKAROUND but standard practice and simple to do as you can lace it anywhere not just in NOTES which will soon be full if you keep on clicking on the SAME NAME
