Linking directly to a file

Thursday 31 May 2007 4:41:13 am

I want to be able to link to a file, like an mp3 for instance, without the link opening a new page that contains a link to the file to allow its download. The user needs to be able to enter some text and then make that text point directly to a file's url (but not by having to enter a url manually - rather by browsing to find the file or uploading it)

I guess I can take part of the "full" template to give me the method for linking directly to the file's URL too

Many thanks

I think the answer is usually a template!

OK - I understand all that.

This is what I've done:

1. Created a folder
2. Added some text and then used the insert object dialog
3. Browsed for the object
4. Filled in other required fields

I've overridden base\override\templates\embed\file.tpl

with

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.file icon_title=$node.name}

and now I get no output.

Ideas?
