I have a listing of files available for download. I am using a "link" view to create the full file link. Rather than display a link in the listing, I'd like to have a button for each file for download. How would I go about accomplishing this?

Hi Rick,

Will the download attribute in the link do the trick (see here )? You can also add CSS to format the link to look like a button.

Bob,

Thanks for that. However, it is really whole creation of the button itself that I cannot figure out. The LINK view creates the link, but I don't want just a text link. I want a button, and I cannot figure out how to do that. There is SO little documentation of CCv6.

Add "ui button" to the class.

Chronoforms uses Semantic UI, see here for more details.

Thank you healyhatman! And especially for the link to SemanticUI. I was not aware of that, so that is a tremendous help. I have been using these products for a LONG time, but each time I move to a new version I start the learning process all over again. 🙂
