I've created a macro that lists all the files within a chosen media folder, using XSLT in 4.9.0
Each file can be downloaded using a href = "{./umbracoFile}"
Is there anyway I can add a button/link so that all files can be downloaded at once? Would be nice if they could be zipped but not necessary (could just download multiple files).
<xsl:template match="/">
<!--<p> <b>mediaFolder:</b> <xsl:value-of select="$mediafolder" /> </p>-->
<xsl:if test="$mediafolder !=''">
<xsl:variable name="files" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediafolder, true())" />
<!-- Uncomment this for DEBUG and view the HTML source of your page to see the XML snippet -->
<!--<xsl:copy-of select="$files" />-->
<xsl:if test="$files != ''">
<div class="download-container">
<!-- For each XML node <node> where the nodeTypeAlias attribute = File -->
<xsl:for-each select="$files/Folder/Download[@nodeTypeAlias = 'Folder']">
<a href="{./umbracoFile}"> <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" /> </a>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
You may be able to find some .NET code for zipping up the files — the packaging system in the Back-office definitely use some kind of zip library, but I have no clue where it's at.
If you manage to find it, you could create a new template called "all" for rendering the ZIP byte-stream, and use that as an altTemplate - e.g. if your "downloads list" is at /downloads/pdf/ you can just link to /downloads/pdf/all/ and the "all" template will be used to render the /downloads/pdf/ page.
Hope that gets you a litle further towards a solution,
