Files Download

Hey guys,

Quick question.  In the view file page is there a way to have the "view file" area a link to download?  Currently it is only in the action menu, but I would also like it to be on the icon.  After running a quick beta, that is one of the bigger complaints I recieved.

Thanks

Chris

Sure its pretty easy..

backup then open the modules' BxFilesPageView.php

after:

$aUnit = array(

add:

'moduleUrl' => BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . $this->oConfig->getBaseUri(),
'fileUri' => $this->aFileInfo['medUri'],
'file_type' => '_blank',

save and close.

&& the modules base template view_unit.html

beside __fileTitle__

add:

<a href="javascript:void;" onclick="window.open('__moduleUrl__download/__fileUri__', '__file_type__', 'width=500,height=380,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no')">download</a>

with this new info you should be able to add your own language key if you need it....you can test it before you try it here(new window):

Have fun!

Perfect!

Thanks a ton.

Now if only I could figure out how to create folders within groups and events (pics, videos, files etc...)

Hi guys,

i've followed the instructions of Mrpowless and now the link is visible near the title. But the problem is that when i click onto the link it opens a popup box with written inside "access denied"!!!

What's the problem???

tanks a lot

sounds like your permissions for the user is not set.  Allow file downloads in the user permissions from the admin panel.
