How to make [or is there one already] a simple download files widget.

  • basically I have some PDF, word doc etc type files that I want to upload using the Media Manager (I guess) and then make available under a widget.

    I.E. the abililty to upload some files of any type that would appear under (for example) the latest news widget as Follows:

    User Downloads
    ——

    Filea.pdf
    Fileb.doc
    Image1.jpg

    etc.

    Note that obviously not every file uploaded to the media manager would show, only ones that I’d mark as being a user download.

    Many thanks for any pointers.

  • Put the link to those files into a Text widget.

    Right,

    But I want to have a situation where when the site admin adds files, that they automatically appear under this widget – i.e. not to have to do it by hand each time.

    Even if I could get a pointer on how to upload a file and give it a category or something I could probably write the PHP to list the files – i.e. some method of distinguishing between image / video files that the admin might upload and the actual files that he / she would want to present as user download files.
