I think this is what I need, but can be downloaded and installed?

Are you using ezpublish 4.4? You can download a tar file here:

http://projects.ez.no/enhancedezbinaryfile/downloads/enhancedezbinaryfile_revision_4

or get it with subversion here:

svn checkout http://svn.projects.ez.no/enhancedezbinaryfile

If you are using an earlier version of ezpublish you may want to use revision 3.

Keep in mind that this extension uploads the file to the var directory but does not add the file to the database (except as an attribute to the collected information object) so it may not be 100% what you are looking for.

I didn't know that version 4.4 is available. I'm using 4.3.

I guess the package is placed in the extensions directory and then activate it from the administration site.

Only serves to allow users to attach files?

There is an install.txt in the doc directory and a readme.txt (also the todo.txt). Also read the settings files carefully.

Yes, the file is uploaded to a var/storage directory as an information collector which can then be sent as part of the information collection mail. That's the point of the extension. But, it's not going to create a file object or list the file in the ezbinary file table.

If that's not what you want, then it might be easier to hack kernel/classes/datatypes/ezbinaryfile/ezbinaryfiletype.php to add the information collector functionality.

This isn't what I want.

It seems that what you were suggested answers the problem, but well.

Have you considered providing your users with a simple content create/edit form that will let them create content with binary files ?

I don't understand. Binary files?
