Hi Carre,

welcome to ezcommunity.

First you should read the basics

If you want ti display attributes like name etc.

you should fetch it like

{$node.data_map.name}

Ok .

If you want to show the file name, file size , date.

Here is the way.

First you find out ezbinaryfle.tpl which is located at content/datatype/view/ezbinaryfile.tpl

this is the template that is used when u use attribute_view_gui for ezbinaryfile.

So what you have to do is in your template file

you have to put

{$node.object.published|l10n(shortdatetime)} // this is to show the date when the file published

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.file icon_title=$node.name} // to show file name and size

next move on to see how this attribute_view_gui attribute working to show file name and size

for that you need to override the content/datatype/view/ezbinaryfile.tpl(you should read override mechanism of ez http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn...mplates/the_template_override_system)

Here is the code

[my_fle_info] // block name in your site access override file
Source=content/datatype/view/ezbinaryfile.tpl // source file which is the deafult file when you

use attribute_gui for file type
MatchFile=content/datatype/view/my_file.tpl // your created override template for attribute_gui for file type

Subdir=templates

Match[class_identifier]=file // override condition for class my_file.tpl instead of ezbinary.tpl

mean whenever you use attribute_gui for ,class type file , it will take my_file.tpl .

so create my_file.tpl and put it in your curent design override folder like this // read http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn...d_basics/designs/design_combinations

current design/override/content/datatype/view/my_file.tpl

Now create the code for my_file.tpl

Like this

{$attribute.content.original_filename|wash( xhtml )} // to show file name

{$attribute.content.filesize|si( byte )} // show file size
