Details
========
Create an upload system for images, flash, links and documents that
integrates into the Site Administration area. Will likely need a database
'helper' to index uploaded materials. File permissions should be as
straightforward as possible, where the system can create any necessary sub
folders, etc.

Notes for a rather important feature (ideas, mostly)

1. Media manager window browses contents of ./media/ directory, filters out only
media from current or next issue (string match). Options include deleting or
attaching image to a current story.
2. Upload window prompts if you did not arrive from a story to select the story to
attach the media to. You can upload without an attached story.
3. Accepts posted file, puts into temporary directory ./tmp.
4. Analyzes file to determine if a JPEG, GIF, SWF, DOC, RTF, PDF. Refuses and removes
if unable to detect.
5. If a GIF, JPEG or PNG, resize to default maximum width set in the control panel.
Warning if unable to resize.
6. Moves file into ./media/ folder, appends date and time to front of image name.
Error if unable to write.
7. Builds URL string of new media file and loads it into a "Media Manager" script for
a new attached media. Generates preview if image, link if not.
8. Automatically selects the media type detected in the upload process from the
dropdown (Locks dropdown?).
9. User enter captions and credits, saves media.
10. Record written to cm_media table.

While minimal progress has been made in a testing scenario, bumping it yet again.
