Naming Classes Pertaining to PDFs Uploaded

UPDATE 11-24-10 The system has been updated to allow two classes with the same name, just not in the same category.
Every PDF that gets uploaded through PeaShooter gets renamed automatically by the system. The new name comes from where the PDF is uploaded. For example, if you upload a PDF to the Gym Schedule for a particular branch, whatever you name the PDF gets changed to Branch_Name_YMCA_Gym_Schedule.pdf. The same is true for PDF Registration Forms on the program schedule pages, and this is where problems can happen. If you have two classes with the same name, even if they are in different categories, and you upload a registration PDF to both, you will get the exact same PDF for both. This is because the system automatically renames your PDFs and will overwrite the first one you load with the second one. The solution is to have unique class names, even if it's just adding a letter or number after the class name. Please see System Upgrade 10/02/2008
