Hi

I am new to DNN so this might be a dumb question:

I have created a page on our churches site called "Lyrics & Charts". The files that I want to list on the page (for download) are already in the file manager. How do I make them list on this page in alphabetical order? Do I have to do one at a time or can I import multiple files from the folder where they are stored?

They are either word docs, pdfs, or powerpoint files.

Many thanks

Pete,

 

The easiest way is to add a 'Documents' module to the page in question. The select "Add New Document" from the action menu. Here you may title, add a description, a category if your using them. Then select 'A File On Your Site' (which is the default), and you should see your files listed in the ddlist. That should do it.

 

To sort or eliminate columns, select the "Setting" for the module. At the bottom of the settings control, you'll see an area that you may choose a sort order, and which columns to display.

Pete,

As mentioned above at this time there is not auto method to just include all documents from a folder into the documents module.  So you will need to add each one in the manner listed above..

If you want a much simpler solution, you can use the SqlGridSelectedView module from http://tressleworks.ca/ .

If your files are not in root of Portal 0, then you'll need to change the SQL statement below to agree with your PortalID and folder.

SQL Statement: SELECT '<a href="/portals/0/' +  [FileName] + '" target=_blank>' + [FileName]  + '</a>' as [File] FROM Files WHERE ((PortalID = 0) AND (Extension in('DOC', 'PDF', 'PPT')))

Connection String: @SiteSqlServer

Hope this helps.

Kay
