I'd love to be for some reason I can't get the attachment feature to work

Re: Swerve with a twist
 

What browser are you using?

Do you have pop-up windows enabled for Chief Delphi?

At what point in the process outlined below do things go awry?

Step1

Start a new post. Immediately below the editing screen should be a button that says "Manage Attachments". Click it.


Step2

You should get the "Manage Attachments" pop-up window. Click the "Browse" button.


Step3

You should get a "File Upload" pop-up window. Navigate to the folder that contains your desired attachment.


Step4

In the "File Upload" pop-up window, highlight the file you want to attach by clicking on it. The filename should then appear in the "File name" text box. Click on the "Open" button. This should take you back to the "Manage Attachments" pop-up window.


Step5

Your desired filename should now appear in the "Browse" text box of the "Manage Attachments" pop-up window. Click the "Upload" button (the one to the right of the filename).


Step6

Your filename should appear in the "Current Attachment" area of the "Manage Attachments" pop-up window. Click "Close this window".


Step7

When the "Manage Attachments" pop-up window closes, you should be back to your editing session, and your filename should appear above the "Manage Attachments" button in the "Additional Options" section below the editing area. Click the "Submit Reply" button.

Thanks for the guidance. I can print a car, develop a holonomic omnidirectional vehicle for the Navy but I can't figure out how to put an attachment on Chief Delphi. Go figure.

Let me know if you have any questions. This is a little dated, was done back in the 2005/2006 timeframe. But I may have the source code for the system we deployed if needed.

The NGMH on Figure 5 used spherical wheels rather than the Mecanums. We developed the spherical wheels about the same time as the mecanums were developed in the early 90's. The big blue machine was a bomb loader. It has a 7 dof force reflecting arm on a holonomic omnidirectional vehicle. We really needed the mobility to be able to maneuver under the wing of an aircraft. This was probably (at the time, mid 90's) one of the coolest omnidirectional vehicles. You could drive it, pull it, load bombs... The arm had a 4000 lb payload capacity.

The funniest experience was we used it to load a B1 which has a bay rather than pylons under the wing. We had to attached a platform and ride the arm, with the weapon, up into the aircraft. My safety officer was worried I'd fall so she chained me to the weapon (not live of course). Sometimes you just shake your head and laugh.
