Download File within Database

djmweb 11 May, 2011
I am using Joomla 1.6 and Chronoforms J1.6_V4_RC1.8. My form includes several file upload fields. The files upload fine and I can see the file name in the database. What I want to do is download the file that shows in the database. Is there a way to do this? I was thinking I could add some code somewhere which would make it a link so I can click on the file name and download it.

Hi djmweb,

That's exactly right. You need to get the file name; convert it into a URL and show that as a link. Where do you want to display it?

Hi Bob,

Sorry for the delayed response. I just started working on this project again. When I go to Show Data and click on the field, I would like the link to the file instead of just the file name. Thanks for the help.
