How can I use the FolderViewer to keep a list of files for download?
The first thing you should do is add a folder using the File Manager.
Give the folder whatever name you want and remember its location, you
will need it soon. Once the folder has been added go ahead and add a
FolderViewer. When you first add a FolderViewer you will be presented
with a setup wizard. This wizard had multiple pages.
Selecting the folder you added earlier (page 1)
Page 1
This page will ask you to select a folder. Find the folder you created earlier and select it. Go to the next page.
Page 2
This page asks you how you want the items in the folder to be listed. Choose the Download List option. This will give a link with an icon and size by each file.
Page 3
This will ask you what files in this folder do you want to be shown. Any of these would work, for now choose to display all files.
Page 4
This page lists all the files currently in the folder. If you want to
hide specific files at a later time you can do it from here. For now just move on.
Page 5
This page sets the display style of an individual entry if it is
clicked on. Since we are linking directly to the file for download our display style is irrelevant as is the display location. Just click next.
Page 6
Here you can set the title and description for the list.
Generating an RSS feed for the downloads (page 7)
Page 7
This page gives you various RSS and publishing options. If you want to maintain a RSS feed that lets users know when files are added you can do it here.
Page 8
This final page gives you a preview of how your list will look. In our
case its blank since we have no files yet. Hit the finish button and
the list is added.
Uploading a file to the folder
The final step is to add files to the list. You can do this one of
two ways. The first way is to move files into this folder from the
File Manager. The second way is to upload files into the gallery. To do
this move your mouse to the folder icon on the block, a menu will
appear and one of the options is 'Upload File'.
