Add a download?

Follow this procedure to add a download. Note: before adding the download, you must determine on which download page its link will be displayed. If an appropriate download page does not exist, you can create one via the "Adding a download page" procedure.

1) Log in.

2) Click "Add a Download" on the "Quick Links" menu or go to Navigation >> Create Content >> Submit Download (node/add/download).

3) In the "Download Pages" field, select the page on which the link to the download will be displayed.

4) Enter the file name (for display purposes; does not have to be the actual name of the file).

5) Next to the "File" field, click the "Browse" button to select the file to be downloaded.

6) Provide a description of the file (optional).

7) Click "Submit".

Note: only files with certain extensions - for example, .jpg, .doc, or .pdf - may be added as downloads. If you receive a message indicating an unknown file extension, you can add it to the list of permitted extensions as follows:

a) Go to Administer >> Site Configuration >> File Uploads (admin/settings/uploads)

b) Add the new file extension in the "Default permitted file extensions" field

c) Click "Save configuration".
