Re: downloads

To edit your account, click on user cp at the top of this page.

If you put a link to the file you wish to download the rest is automatic.......
When the person clicks the link, a save or open box will appear.

have fun

Re: downloads

ok i sorta see what you mean. The only thing i'm confused about would be how to enter the link for something that needs to be downloaded like in my case it would be a brochure. The file i'm trying to do is LSP_OR_DC_MD_PA_NH_SC_GA.pdf from Adobe. I mean do i upload this in my public/html and then what? sorry alittle slow on this one. Also I try to do a text box but I can't use a link for that what else can I use instead to have something like View Brochure

Re: downloads

If you open a text box
double click
enter View Brochure
select the text
then select the icon I mentioned before
you can then enter the link
filename.pdf.......which should be on your site.............

Re: downloads

oh ok so the link type should be file not html ? do i type public/html/the file name?

[davidundalicia]

Re: downloads

No..............I gave an example....filename=the name of your pdf file
and after the .
pdf
not html

so: http://yoursitename/filename.pdf

Re: downloads

Hyperlink your text ( Download Brochure ), entering the link: www.YourSiteName.com/lsp_or_dc_md_pa_nh_sc_ga.pdf (NOTE: file must not have capital letters for downlaods, thus you must re-name your .PDF files accordingly before upload) and upload the file directly into your public_html/ directory.

(NOTE: file must not have capital letters for downlaods.

Why not Eric? I have downloaded about 80 pdf files for one client's site and probably half of them are in capitals and work? Or is there an underlying issue to doing this? Have I got hours of work ahead of me renaming?
