Doug Johnson	Thursday 04 January 2007 2:54:28 pm We have a link to a pdf file and would like to make the text for the link something other than the name of the file itself. Can this be done? Currently in version 3.8, we are can't enter a text description for the link. In version 3.7 we could. Any ideas? Thanks
Claudia Kosny	Saturday 06 January 2007 9:27:44 am Hi Doug You could just add an additional textline attribute in all classes that have a file attribute. Give it the same name in all classes, eg. file_link_text. In the template that displays the link to the file grab the content of this attribute and use it as the link text. Claudia
