Hi


 


My module needs to force download of certain files (PDF's). Is there any standard functionality that would allow this? I can see the file /Admin/Public/Download.aspx is used in the file archive. Feeding it with the following parameters cause it to just hang without anything happening:


 


/Admin/Public/Download.aspx?File=Admin/Public/Module/MyModule/Download.pdf&LocationType=x


 


Without the LocationType it's not able to find the file at all.


 


I could of course use a frontend module that sends the file and Response.Ends to stop the further rendering of the page, but that would probably cause a hit in the statistics which I would like to avoid.


 


Thanks,


Mark

Hi Mark







You can do like this:




Admin/Public/DWSDownload.aspx?File=Files%2fFiler%2fModules%2fDanish%2fCMS%2fFact_Sheet_Web%2fDynamicweb_Afstemning.pdf
