how to create a link to a file (download link)

[Sean Rock]

Hi

i want to use the file manager to upload files for users to download. how can i create a link to those documents in the editor?

thanks.

You can just link to the file, this will open the file in the browser however (for images, videos etc.) 

The syntax is like this:

[[attachment:/1.png|Link text]]

or alternatively:

[[~/1.png|Link text]]

Hope that helps,

Chris

Hello Chris,

I wonder if you have any way to create the link to files automatically, as is done for the images?

Thank you!

You can use ~/ or attachment: in the url to link to an attachment. For example

[[~/myfile.jpg|text]]
