Hi
I have some files that are uploaded to the site and they require different urls based on the file type
Eg PDF, xls, docs will all have one kind of URL opened using google docs viewer and then video files and images will be opened using Shadowbox to display them.
Any help will be great

Hi Craig,
Here's a recipe from my CMSB Cookbook thecmsbcookbook.com might get you started.
USING IF STATEMENTS TO DEFINE OUTPUT BASED ON A FILE EXTENSION
If you need to publish specific code that’s based on the type of file that you’ve uploaded into an upload field, like a .swf flash file, here’s the trick. Just use:
or for the second through next to last if parameter in the list (the last one gets an <?php else: ?> instead of a <?php elseif...)
You can use this for non upload fields as well:
or
And , don’t forget that every if statement must be closed with an <?php endif ?>
Hope that helps,
Jerry Kornbluth

Hi Jerry
it isnt Craig he is away it is Mark.
thanks for that i am not 100% but this what we have working now for all kinds of pdf, word, excel doc types that get opened.
<?php foreach ($downloadRecords as $record): ?>
<?php foreach ($record['upload'] as $index => $upload): ?>
<a href="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.domain.com<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>&embedded=true" target="_blank">Download <?php echo htmlencode($upload['info1']) ?></a><br/><br/>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php if (!$downloadRecords): ?>
<?php endif ?>
what we need to do is also upload video files that will open in shadowbox using just the rel="shadowbox" in the url but only if it is a video and not anything else.

Hi Mark,
I'll try to find something more specific, but basically I'd use the approach above in the foreach loop to sniff out the extension and if it's a video extension, then execute the shadowbox video code.
You might also look at jwplayer if you can't get shadowbox to work
Hope that helps,
Jerry

Hi Mark,
Sorry that it took so long.
Here's the detail page code I'm using with the jwplayer and a multi-record section called articles.
Hope it helps.
