Requirement

This plugin requires the RainLab.Blog plugin.

What does it do?

Featured files extends the RainLab.Blog plugin with a possibility to upload featured files to every blog post.

This can be handy to attach documents or sound-files (for podcasting) etc to your blog posts.

Install the RainLab.Blog plugin

  • First you have to make sure you have added the RainLab.Blog plugin to your project.
  • Then add the Hambern.Featuredfiles plugin.
  • Now you'll find a file field in the manage tab when you add or edit a blog post.

Pick a field type and allowed files

The default mode of the plugin is a fileupload field that allows all kinds of files. However, if you prefer to use the media finder you can change this in the settings.

How to use it in a blog post page

To view your featured files you find them by adding .featured_files to your post-object, just like you would on your featured_images. As an example:

{% if post.featured_files.count %}
  {% for file in post.featured_files %}
    <a href="{{ file.path }}">{{ file.file_name }}</a>
  {% endfor %}
{% endif %}

First you check to see if you have any files... Then you output them onto your page.
