Document type field: File selection

Hi there,

I have an issue on getting the file from the field type, File selection.

Below is my code. "Resource" is the file selection field type.


<td><a target="_blank" href="<%#GetFileUrl("Resource")%>"><%# Eval("Title") %></td>

the output of href is like following.

<td><a target="_blank" href="/KenticoCMS/getattachment/a242bfb4-81e8-4309-be3b-493aa8817335/product-resource-1.aspx">product resource 1</a></td>

However, the link is not a valid file link for me. Any ideas?


Member	kentico_michal - 10/19/2011 8:25:11 AM RE:Document type field: File selection Hello, File selection field stores a NodeGUID of selected document. So, you will need to use GetDocumentUrl method instead of the GetFileUrl method: <a target="_blank" href="<%# GetDocumentUrl("Resource", "NodeAlias") %>"> <%# Eval("Title") %> </a> Best regards, Michal Legen

Member	kentico_michal - 10/20/2011 5:15:59 AM RE:Document type field: File selection Hello, The GetFileUrl returns link to a file (Attribute type: File) in the following format: ~/getattachment/<fileGUID>/nodeAlias.aspx Best regards, Michal Legen
