Hi all, I have a problem with download file. I would like to download file document that I have uploaded into one folder in CMSdesk. I use repeater webpart to show all documents that's in that folder based on Transformation. I would like to click on "Download", it will download that file for me. Note: allow all file extension(.docx,.pdf,.jpg...)

Could you please advise me on this. If you have another way to work with download, please share it. I have no idea to work on it anymore.

Hi, You can use 'download' attribute for your links into transformation code. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_download.asp

Hi, I have used it already. but I cannot get file's extension as ".pdf, .docx,...", I just get only ".aspx". So I would like to get "document.pdf" not "document.aspx". That's why, I cannot download it correctly. So how can I get the extension as "pdf or docx or gif...."? Thank you,

Hi,

Have you created an attachment to a document or upload it into the content tree using the file page type?

You could also create use the media library, but it depends how you want link to this items and/or if you need document permission?

Greets,

David

If you use files from media library, you can show all fields from MediaFileInfo class type(CMS.MediaLibrary namespace) in your transformation. Example: <% Eval("FileName") %>, <% Eval("FileExtension") %> and etc, and you can add this fields to 'download' attribute

Hi,

What you need to do is specify a download attribute inside an anchor tag like this

I am putting this code in quotes otherwise it will also appear as a download link.

You will be all set with download.

Thanks, Chetan

You can configure files extensions in Settings -> URLs and SEO -> Files friendly URL extensions. But I'm not really sure this is your issue. So what actually happens when you click that link? Does it open PDF in new tab?

Hi, Again, I used webpart "Repeater" to show all document in one folder based on its transformation. I used attribute "download" of HTML5, but it's just working on Chrome. How to make it support with all browser? or should I need to create custom webpart?
