Dynamic PDF Links

Can you give me a bit more detail on how you want that to work?

There's a few options. You can upload pdfs through the wysiwyg (by enabling uploads and allowing .pdf) and then upload them by clicking the link button and then browse.

You could upload them through an upload field and have download links automatically added to the display page.

Are either of those close?

Hi Dave,

Almost! I would like to upload the pdf through an upload field and have a link attached to the file name (specified by the user).

i.e. ThisPDFfile (as the user named it) has an embedded link to the uploaded file.

Cheers, does that make sense ?

Much thanx.

Ok. So you want the client to be able to specify the text that is displayed in the link to the PDF? Is that right?

If you're using a recent version of CMS Builder you can specify the Title and Caption for each upload (and those fields can be added in the field editor).

Instead of the standard code that displays an upload:

<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>">Download <?php echo $upload['filename'] ?></a><br/>

You could have it display the title (info1) or caption (info2) or another field you add (info3,4,5) in the link like this:

<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>"><?php echo $upload['info1'] ?></a><br/>

Would that work?
