    <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="productDownload"
              xslt="concat('&lt;a href=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'true')/.productDownload, '&quot; /&gt;')"

              xslt="concat('&lt;a href=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'false')//productDownload, '&quot; /&gt;')"

    Hi Ivor,

    It needs to be specificaly umbracoFile so

    <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="productDownload"
              xslt="concat('&lt;a href=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'false')//umbracoFile, '&quot; /&gt;')"
    XsltDisableEscaping="true" />


    Also, I'm sure you are aware, this won't actualy display anthing as you are generating a self closing a tag, but it should at least get you the correct URL. You may be better of with something like.

    <a href='<umbraco:Item runat="server" field="productDownload" xslt="umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'false')/umbracoFile" />'>Your Link Text Here</a>

    did you try ?

     

    umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'false')//umbracoFile

    Since the getmedia call will return some xml and in that xml is an umbracoFile node that contains the path to the file

    @Matt Ahh i get it, I thought  //umbracoFile was suppose to be my field name for the download. No wonder it wasn't working. i did noticed it was self closing and had changed it after I did the post. Thanks.

    @Tim my bad, it works I just didn't realise //umbracoFile was actually needed. THanks for the help
