File attachments

Files can be attached to individual pages of a ProsePoint Express site. This allows things such as documents or reports to be uploaded and made available for download by visitors.

To attach a file to an existing page, first view or edit the page.

Then, click on Page » File attachments in the Control Menu.

Page » File attachments

This will take you to a form similar to the one below.

Each row in the files table corresponds to one uploaded file.

Listing files

By default, the files are shown in a numbered list after the page body.

If the List checkbox is empty for a file, then it will not be included in the list.

File attachments can also be linked from inside the page body. To do this, enter short tags like [file1] or [file2] into the page body. When the page is displayed, these short tags will be replaced by a link to the corresponding attached file (if it exists).

Note

If a file attachment is linked from inside the page body with a [fileN] short tag, it will still be included in a numbered list after the page body unless its corresponding List checkbox is empty.
