Tim Achnitz	Tuesday 23 September 2003 12:25:33 am I turned on the Template Debugging in the Backend and found out, that there is this ezbinaryfile.tpl but I don't know how to use it. Maybe you know?
James Packham	Tuesday 23 September 2003 3:35:13 am I can only partially answer this because I'm having my own troubles with this feature :) I used the little magnifying glass icon under "related objects" area (to the right of the screen whilst creating/editing files) to find the object (file). When you click ok you are left with a little bit of detail about the object, it's name, object ID and link location. Copy and paste the link location into the xml format for a link and change it to normal (non admin) location (assuming you're using uri like me) so you get something like: <link class='file' href='http://192.168.0.1/news/content/view/full/59'>here</link> Congratulations, now you should have something that doesn't work but looks a lot better than an error message. But don't feel bad, this is as far as I've managed to get too ;) Please let me know if you figure out what to do next! I will do likewise! Sorry I couldn't be more help! ~James~
