| Creating a Downloadable Link: Two Ways to Do It with SiteBuilder and with HTML Code >>> |
Easy Click Method You can create a link for your downloadable file and upload it all at the same time with one element in SiteBuilder using either the toolbar at the top of SiteBuilder edit or the Elements Palette. 1) Open the page you want the link(s) to be on. 2) In the toolbar, click on File -> Post File. OR In the Elements Palette, double click Imported Files & HTML, click on Post A File. By either way, a new Import window will appear. Find the file you wish to post. Click on the file and press OK. 3) The Post A File element will create a graphical link to the file. When you Save the page (online SiteBuilder) or Publish the page (offline SiteBuilder), the file will be imported/uploaded at the same time. Very easy and quick. Manual Method 1) If you prefer to do this manually in SiteBuilder, first you'll need upload the file(s) from your computer to your Pages and Files Manager, or if you're a Homestead Personal or "metal" member, you can FTP the files. 2) You'll then need to open the Text element and type the name of the file on your page. 3) Highlight the name and press the Link element on the toolbar. 4) Click on the Imported Files box and find the file. Click on the file name. 5) Press OK to complete the link. |
HTML Code In the examples below, file url is where the downloadable file resides on your host server. It could be an http:// or ftp:// url. Text or image url means you can use a text link or an image link such as a download button. If you're using SiteBuilder to do this instead of using the above two methods, you'd type or paste the HTML code in the Insert HTML element and place the element where you want the link to show on the page.. With text link: <a href=" file url"> text</a> Download here. (not a real link!) In this example, the word "here" is the link. The entire phrase can be a link also. With image link: <a href=" file url"><img src=" image url" width="x" height="x"></a>
