File download types

I notice there is no file_download_type tag, does any one know a way to output this?
Thanks
Rich

Re: File download types

Do you mean the file type as in .pdf, .xls, etc…?

You might look at plugins that do icon presentation handling based on the file type. From there you could modify some output, in a file form or otherwise, to present the file type information by it’s ‘type’.

Explore the plugins. Ask another question. Carry on!

If you want the extension, you can do it pretty easily with basic PHP using pathinfo function:

<txp:php>
    echo pathinfo(parse('<txp:file_download_name />'), PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
</txp:php>

Which could also be wrapped into rah_function:

<txp:rah_function call="pathinfo" file='<txp:file_download_name />' _constantOptions="PATHINFO_EXTENSION" />

Re: File download types

The PHP snippet works fine, but not inside a smd_macro.
