[Solved]How can I let visitors download text files?

Post by libralion »

Hi everybody,
With the filemanager I created a folder text in the uploads folder.
I want the visitors of my website to be able to download those text files.
But how can I insert a link to those text files? On the page where I want to insert the link to those textfiles I only see the possibility to insert images.
And what tag should I use for those downloads?
Thanks for your time.

Johanna

In tinyMCE use "url" icon and not image icon and you will be able to link to your files.

You could also try this plugin http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/list_downloads if all of these files are in one folder, didn't try it myself.

Thanks! The list downloads plugin works like a charm.
