HOW-TO: Link to a File

To link to a file you'd actually be using Snippets. When you get to a content area where you'd like to include a link to a PDF, movie, audio file or similar do the following:

  1. Place the cursor where you'd like the link to be created in your content.
  2. In the bottom right of the content editor click the link for 'Insert/Edit Snippet'
  3. You should now have an action box that has a few links for including snippets.
  4. Click the link 'Link to'
  5. Select the file you want to create with the link by clicking it's title
  6. Click 'Insert Snippet' in the bottom right of the action box. Important'''
  7. There should now be text like the following in your content editor: {{ Resource.link_to resource_id=418 }}
  8. If you would like provide text other then the filename add the following to the snippet: text="What you want the link to say". Which would make the final snippet look like {{ Resource.link_to resource_id=418, text="What you want the link to say" }}

This process will most likely be changed in v0.3.2.
