Downloading files uploaded to the cms

Hi,

I see that you also posted the question here on devnet. Below the same answer that I posted on stackoverflow.

I think that a nice way to do this is with kentico page attachments. On the page in the content tree you can go to attachments. There you can add for example a pdf file. This can then be retrieved on the backend and then you can create a link on the view with it. Also see this link about displaying the page attachments. You can also take a look at attaching file groups to pages.

Example:

Controller:

viewModel.FileUrl = treeNode.AllAttachments?.FirstOrDefault()?.GetPath() ?? string.Empty;

View:

<a href="@Model.FileUrl" target="_blank">Download file</a>

Is there a way to seperate the attachments into groups of sorts? Like if my page has a table with two columns, one for pictures of me, one for pictures of dogs? So i can do some sort of attachments.Where(in dog)

Yes you can add fields to the page type, one for the pictures of your self and one for the pictures of dogs. The field data type needs to be 'Attachments'.

Then you can access them from the page with the field names.

var dogPictures = page.Fields.DogAttachments;
var picturesOfMyself = page.Fields.PicturesOfMyselfAttachments;
