Linking to an attachment in text/xml transformation

Is this field a "file" type and you use "direct upload" form control when defined in page type?

Document Attachments type and Document Attachments control. Should I change them?

You can use this macro method {% GetFileUrlByGUID(FieldName, "FileName") %}

I know that works with File type and Direct upload, not sure about Attachment, you can try it first.

I don't want to list a filename though since I'll be using this across several files, just the fieldname and pull back the url of its attachment if possible.

Thanks, but it still only shows the current page url I'm on when I try it. Most things I've tried do the same.

I just tested, the Attachment didn't work. So change your data type to File and use Direct Upload form control. The above HTML with macro would get you something like this

http://localhost/getattachment/524d45da-2f8c-4adb-b699-56af180f095f/

Yes, this works perfectly now except I have to list the filename...that's still a problem. Anyway around that?

{% GetFileUrlByGUID(FieldName, "FileName") %}

You don't need to enter the file name

{% GetFileUrlByGUID(FieldName, "", "") %}

You sir, are a genius! Now I have one thing left to figure out. I need to create a field for a user to supply a link if he has no file to upload. Once I create the new field, I need to figure out how to make the code know that if there is no file attachment, then use the link supplied in the new field I'm creating...if that's understandable.

Users are basically going to either download an attachment or link to something else when they come to the site and click.

It would be easier to check if the manual Link field (e.g. LinkURL as the field name) is empty or not.

So something like

{% if (LinkURL == "") %}
<a href={% GetFileUrlByGUID(FieldName, "", "") %}">XXXXX</a>
{% } else { %}
<a href={% LinkField %}">XXXXX</a>
{% } %}

I see what you mean. That would be a better way. I'll try it out in a bit. Thanks Rui!

Not quite working yet.

Got it working....thanks again, Rui!

Cool, please mark the right answer is you can :)
