uploaded files...

[lie2815]

i uploaded files with the file manager. and i have two questions...
1. when i insert a link to the file, the path becomes /cms/uploads///downloads/. Why does it do that?
2. How can I insert download links (especially pdf files)?

Fast help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

No idea. Check your config.php to make sure none of the $config['*_url'] values has a slash at the end.

2. How can I insert download links (especially pdf files)?

Check out the Uploads module.

Thanks. The module is good. With its help I inserted a link, but now I don't want the file name to appear there, but something else (like the text between and ). I use the "link" mode. How can I do that. Could I just put the module tag in a normal link as target?

The uploads module is all template controlled.  To see what variables are available you can add (temporarily) {get_template_vars} into the template to see what's available.

If you're dealing with an object, or an array, you can use {$object|print_r} to see what's available.

It seems to me (in the uploads module) there's an $entry->url or something like that that you can use to build your own link

Uhmmm... I uploaded pdf files and now there is the following error when I download them and try to open them:

...could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...


Now what?
