Hi Tim,

so basicall this:

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

It generates the a tag but not the link :(

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>

Matt

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

Oh my - greatly appreciated! :)

Virtual high-five! Been spending hours looking for something like this.
