    PDF upload

    Hi ! :-),

    I was wondering about what the best way is to create this:

    I have a PressItem doctype and i want the user to be able to upload a PDF file and then it will be listed on the website with a nice little pdf icon.

    They have to be able to upload it when editing the node, i do not want them to upload the pdf to the media lib first and then link to it.

    What's the best practise here?

    If you do not want to use the media library to store the document simply use the upload datatype instead of a media picker  then the end users can simply upload it on the doc itself

    And how would you go about stripping the path into something nice? Can i extract the name of the file and fx size using the upload datatype?

    How are you fetching the files now?

    isn't something like <a href="{$currentPage/data [@alias = 'pdf']}">Get the PDF</a> doing the trick for you?

    <a href=" <umbraco:Item field="fileUpload" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>">Læs PDF fil her</a> in the template right now.

     

    But i would like the link to be something like "filename.pdf 10kb"
