File Downloads Per Article
Hi, i’m in a bit of a bind here. Does anyone know of a way to store the id of a file to be downloaded in a custom field and then call that id for each individual article, so i don’t have to hard code in specific file id’s? I basically want it to work like the “Article image” field on the Write page in Admin.
Thanks in advance :)
Here’s what i have:
custom field =“Download_name”
========Sidebar form==========
<!— start context menu—>
<div id=“logo_grey”><img src=”../images/RP_grey_logo.jpg” alt=“logo grey”/></div>
<div id=“details” class=“contextmodule”>
<h4>Latest Commercials</h4>
<txp:recent_articles label=”“ wraptag=“ul” break=“li” section=“commercial” limit=“4” sortdir=“desc”/>
</div>
<div id=“download” class=“contextmodule”>
<h4>Download Video</h4>
<txp:output_form form=“files” />
</div>
<!— end context menu —>
========files form==========
<txp:text item=“file” />:
<txp:file_download_link id=“<txp:custom_field name=“Download_name” />”>
<txp:file_download_name /> [<txp:file_download_size format=“auto” decimals=“2” />]
</txp:file_download_link>
<br />
<txp:text item=“category” />: <txp:file_download_category /><br />
<txp:text item=“download” />: <txp:file_download_downloads />

Re: File Downloads Per Article
I keep getting an error msg on the pages that use upm_file:
An error occurred in the following tag: <txp:upm_article_file_list/> -> Textpattern Warning: Unknown column ‘BCI_COPS_Irish.mpg’ in ‘where clause’

Re: File Downloads Per Article
got the first part sorted, and i feel a little stupid but i still get:
Notice: missing_article_tag: commercial in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/redpepper/textpattern/publish.php on line 462
Apparently its because there is no article tag in the page template, but shouldn’t ump_file’s article tag replace this? Is it a bug?

Re: File Downloads Per Article
You have to put upm_file’s tags inside a form, and use the txp:article tag in the page template calling that form. It’s a bit tricky at first, but by trial and error you should figure it out.
