Marco Zinn	Friday 10 December 2010 10:51:55 am Hi there, I'm looking for a way (template operator) to retrieve the size of a remote file. I have the full URL of the file in a text line attribute and I want to create a link in the template to the file. Works nice. Now, i want to display the (remote) file size next to the link. How can this be done? I did not find a template operator for this yet. Although, there does not seem to exist a PHP function for this. I thought, i could use "filesize" for this (http://php.net/manual/de/function.filesize.php ) and use it throught PHPOperatorList , but this is only intended for local files. Any idea?

Marco Zinn	Tuesday 14 December 2010 1:47:55 pm Thanks for your replies. So, i read, that currently, there is no built-in or otherwise "easy-to-get" option for this. One would need to write a (simple) template operator for it, right? Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
