Content Markup: Files

Adding the following to a page's content will place a link to a file to download in the page.

[file="1"]

The ID number of the file you want to use can be found in the File Manager. (Click 'files' button in the Admin Bar).

When the page is viewed this will be replaced with an icon representing the type of file. Clicking on the icon starts the file downloading.

file Captions

Each file can have a caption (which is set in the File Manager) but occasionally you may want to use a different description. In which case:

[file="1" caption="use this caption instead"]

Icons

There are preset file download icons for PDFs and a generic 'download file' icon.

You can also use the File Manager to assign a custom thumbnail to a specific file.

The default icons for each of the file types can be changed if you have a designer that knows a little CSS.
