[Solved] File Download

Hi,

have been spending an hour now to find out how to offer files for download!
Entering this in any variation into google, didn't bring me a bit further now.

So, the question I have is:
How can I make a folder of PDF files, available for user download?

What I want to offer is, that a monthly Newsletter can be downloaded as PDF from the server.
The editor therefore only should upload the file into a special folder.
The content of this folder (assumingly ONLY PDFs) should then be nicely shown as a list and the frontend user only needs to click on y link to download the document.

Anybody an idea to this?
And, it's not the "File Manager" I'm talking about . . .

Any hint is welcome,

         greatings,

                  Shiva

There's a few tags I've seen around for doing this.
A quick look in the forge suggest that file-list-table tag looks like it would just the thing

Thank You very much!

That's it! Installed Uploads, included code in page content:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module="Uploads" category="BH Newsletter" mode="summary" sortorder="date_desc"}
Edited the "Summary Template" and it looked beautifully.

Thx again.
