    URL uploads

    hey guys

    extremely new and have not got much experience.

    Basically i am using umbraco for our bar/restaurant website. we have tabs for certain things like food drink location etc and i am "trying" to upload menus that are saved as a PDF. its only uploading as a url link and people need to click on that link to open the menu but i would prefer it to just be a picture of the menu as appose to a link?

    can any help?

    thanks Adam

    Hey!

    Little experience here as well, but maybe this helps.

    Maybe you can convert your PDF to an image first, by (for instance) taking a screenshot of it and then using a Media Picker editor on your page to select the image.

    You can then display the image on your website like this:

    @{
   var img =  Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("propertyHandle");
                        }
                        <img src="@img.Url" alt="@img.Name" />

    (replace "propertyHandle" with the right handle from the property that has the media picker)

    And if you would like to give them a link to the full PDF, maybe put an tag around the img, like this: (you'll need an extra property on your page which links to your PDF file. You can use a media picker for this as well I think)

     <a href="link/to/file.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="@img.Url" alt="@img.Name" /></a>

    Does this help?
