Søren Knudsen	Tuesday 11 August 2009 8:48:27 am Hi all, I have been trying to implement what I thought should be an easy fix. What I want, is to let administration interface users create links to directly to pdf files contained in a folder in the media section by pointing at the object. This would enable visitors on the website to click a link on for example the front page and be linked directly to a pdf file. The xml in the admin should look like: <link href='ezobject://ID' target='_blank'>PDF</link> and this generates the normal code html output: <a href="/content/view/line/ID" target="_blank">PDF</a> I would like to make it generate something like: <a href="/content/download/.../.../file/..." target="_blank">PDF</a> I have read these threads: http://ez.no/developer/forum/general/link_to_pdf_file__1 http://ez.no/developer/forum/general/how_to_open_the_pdf_added_to_a_xml_bloc http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/files_with_spaces http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/link_directly_to_a_file http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/open_pdf_file_in_browser_window http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/open_pdf_directly_in_a_new_browser_window_from_link_in_oe/re_open_pdf_directly_in_a_new_browser_window_f__6 http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/how_to_create_a_download_link_to_a_pdffile http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/directly_open_related_pdfdocuments_in_articles http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/create_a_direct_link_to_a_binary_file http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/datatype_binaryfile_display http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/creating_a_link_to_a_file_for_download http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/pdf_open_directly but none of them describes a solution that I have been able to function. If one of these threads do describe such a solution, I might need to have a few more details to make it happen in my end. /Søren
Łukasz Serwatka	Tuesday 11 August 2009 1:26:15 pm Hi, embed-inline tag can work for you. Users can navigate, pickup a file as related object and embed it in the XML block as embed-inline element. Then make a tpl file for the File class (I assume it is a File class) which in embed-inline view will show as <a href="content/download/....">{$object.name\|wash()}</a> In addition you can also pass custom parameters if you require any. http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/xml_tags#object_embedding Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog
Damien Pobel	Wednesday 12 August 2009 7:04:10 am Hi Søren, I wrote an article about this topic in my blog : http://pwet.fr/blog/creating_a_link_to_download_a_file_with_online_editor_in_ez_publish It's a bit old with a screenshot of Online Editor 4 (ezdhtml) but it should work with Online Editor 5 (ezoe) with a few changes. Cheers.

Søren Knudsen	Sunday 16 August 2009 11:58:21 pm Thank you Łukasz. That did the trick. I had completely overlooked the posibility of inserting the object in for example an article, and not a link. Damien: I forgot to mention that I had allready read your blog entry, but couldn't make it work. I succeeded adding the download class, but making the link_download.tpl template linking to the object's binary content was the problem. Thank you both for helping out, anyway:)
