File tags cannot be used outside of a file context?
Amazing that I haven’t found much about this error here on the forums:
File tags cannot be used outside of a file contextHere’s the first form:
<txp:if_custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id">
<txp:file_download form="acclaim-files-short" />
</txp:if_custom_field>And here’s the “acclaim-files-short” form:
<txp:file_download_list limit="3" sort="modified desc" id="<txp:custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id"/> "/>
<a href="<txp:file_download_link />" title="<txp:file_download_name /> -- <txp:file_download_modified format="%c" />">Acclaim (most recent, pdf)</a><br />
</txp:file_download_list>Any obvious problems? Haven’t worked with all of these file tags before. Thanks.

Try changing this:
<txp:file_download_list limit="3" sort="modified desc" id="<txp:custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id"/> "/>into
<txp:file_download_list limit="3" sort="modified desc" id='<txp:custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id"/>' />And if that doesn’t work, switch to debug mode and post the tag trace and complete error message.

Still same error. Here’s the relevant part of the tag trace:
<txp:if_custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id">
[<txp:if_custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id">: true]
<txp:file_download form="acclaim-files-short" />
Tag error: <txp:file_download form="acclaim-files-short" /> -> Textpattern Notice: File tags cannot be used outside a file context on line 2305
</txp:if_custom_field>I understand why you said that though…I forgot about tags-within-tags.

Hmm… try this:
<txp:if_custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id">
<txp:file_download form="acclaim-files-short" id='<txp:custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id" />' />
</txp:if_custom_field>“acclaim-files-short” form:
<a href="<txp:file_download_link />" title="<txp:file_download_name /> -- <txp:file_download_modified format="%c" />">Acclaim (most recent, pdf)</a><br />And if you want to avoid using a form here, you could probably do this instead:
<txp:if_custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id">
<txp:file_download_list id='<txp:custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id" />'>
<a href="<txp:file_download_link />" title="<txp:file_download_name /> -- <txp:file_download_modified format="%c" />">Acclaim (most recent, pdf)</a><br />
</txp:file_download_list>
</txp:if_custom_field>edit: fixed file_download_list tag should not be self-closing when used as a container tag.

Right on, that works. Thanks Ruud!

Re: File tags cannot be used outside of a file context?
OK, I thought it was working OK, but it wasn’t. I forgot I had the site in Live mode again. :-/
This file_download thing works — but how can I make it:
— sort by “modified desc” (or is that default?)
— show 3 files instead of 1.
code:
<txp:if_custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id">
<txp:file_download form="acclaim-files-short" id='<txp:custom_field name="acclaim-comma-separated-file-id" />' />
</txp:if_custom_field>and…acclaim-files-short form:
<a href="<txp:file_download_link />" title="<txp:file_download_name /> -- <txp:file_download_modified format="%c" />">Acclaim (most recent, pdf)</a><br />Thanks.
(Ruud: is file_download_list broken?)

Ah, well if the ‘id’ can contain multiple file ids then you’ll want to use file_download_list which does support a limit and sort attribute (unlike ‘file_download’).
Let’s continue in the topic you started about the file_download_list tag
