Uploads Module: Download Link

Post by JaymeNYC »

I'm creating an area where files can be downloaded, But the Download links name is "Pre-existing file".  I believe I know why it says this, but I would want the default to be "Download".

Or if possible, since the "Pre-existing file" text actuallly works when I click to download is there something I can use instead of {entry->summarylink} that will ONLY have the download link so I can use the actual file name as the download link?  So I can have something like this

Code: Select all

<a href="{$entry->unknown_variable_here}">{$entry->name}</a>
Anything that will work like this?

It says "Pre-existing file" because you uploaded via FTP instead of through Uploads.  Just go into the Uploads admin and edit the file summary/description.
