Linking directly to a file

Mark Emms	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)

Thursday 31 May 2007 5:02:40 am You have to make an override for the embed template. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
Mark Emms	Thursday 31 May 2007 5:39:53 am 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!
André R.	Thursday 31 May 2007 6:05:24 am yes:) And you are correct about the link code from the full template! eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
Mark Emms	Tuesday 05 June 2007 5:25:30 am 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?
Mark Emms	Tuesday 05 June 2007 5:29:08 am This always happens to me! I ask a question and then the answer becomes obvious! Next time I'll read the code before I post! {let attribute=$object.data_map.file} {section show=$attribute.content} <a href={concat("content/download/",$attribute.contentobject_id,"/",$attribute.id,"/file/",$attribute.content.original_filename)\|ezurl}>{$attribute.content.original_filename\|wash(xhtml)}</a> {/section} {/let}
