generally, the file upload section of the upload page require a user to put a file before submit data.

But I found resource directory template just need user to input a url.

Is anybody know which setting will make the behavior change of the repository module? Because I want to mix some template to create a new template and just want user to input url only. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thank you~~~

I would suggest downloading and reading the Repository Admin and User's Guide. It explains the the templating process. You can download in on the project's download page in the 'other downloads' section. Basically the functionality of the template is defined by which tokens you include. If you include a [FILE] token and settings it's 'required' setting to 'true' then you will force people to upload a file. setting the 'required' setting to 'false' and you make the upload optional, removing the [FILE] token completely and you have a template which does not allow uploads at all.

Steve,

I actually have the exact same question, which I've posted in another thread.

In the default templates (XML and HTML files), there are no Required, True settings for any tokens.  How does the module know which fields are required and which are optional?  What would be the correct syntax (in the XML) to make a [FILE] optional?

By default, all of the input fields are required

TITLE 
FILE 
URL 
AUTHORNAME 
AUTHOREMAIL 
SUMMARY 
DESCRIPTION 

You can override this by placing a setting named "Required" in the Form.xml file and setting its' value to "false". For example, to make the uploading of a file optional, open the FORM.XML file and add the setting to the [FILE] token as follows...

 <Object>
  <Token>[FILE]</Token>
  <Settings>
   <Setting>
    <Name>Required</Name>
    <Value>false</Value>
   </Setting>
  </Settings>
 </Object>
