Providing Content for Download

The File Download module allows to provide various content for download to your site visitors. The file format is arbitrary; the maximum size of the file is determined by parameters of your network.

To add the File Download module to your site:

  1. On the Pages step, select File Download in the Special pages box.
  2. Click .

You can place only one file on the File Download page. If you wish to provide several files for download, add as many File Download pages to your site map as necessary.

To upload a file you wish to provide for download:

  1. On the Edit step, select File Download in the Site map area.
  2. Click Browse, select a file and click Open.
  3. Click Upload.
  4. Specify a name for the file in the File name field.

    Under this name the file will be displayed to site visitors. By default, it is the original name of the uploaded file.

    Note: National characters in file extensions are not supported. If your file extension contains national characters, replace them with Latin characters.

  5. If you want to leave your site visitors the choice to open or save the file, leave the Open file in browser option unselected.

    If you want the file just to open in a visitor's browser window, select the Open file in browser option.

In the upper part of the screen you will see the results of the operation and the file size.

To replace the uploaded file, click Browse once again and select another file.

To ensure that the provided setup works correctly, you can perform a test download of the file. To do so, click the Download shortcut.
