Download file link

Changing the name of the saved file

Nice idea from Yeshai Lang

This can be done with some custom code. Embed the following script after the "Download File" button element:\
\<script>

document.getElementById('downloadButton').addEventListener('click', function() {

var fileNameWithPrefix = this.getAttribute('data-file');

var fileName = fileNameWithPrefix.substring(fileNameWithPrefix.indexOf('\_') + 1);

<br>

// Decode the filename to replace '%20' with actual spaces

fileName = decodeURIComponent(fileName);

<br>

// Create a temporary link element

var link = document.createElement('a');

link.href = 'path\_to\_download/' + fileName; // Replace 'path\_to\_download/' with your actual download path

link.setAttribute('download', fileName); // Set the download attribute to specify filename

link.style.display = 'none';

document.body.appendChild(link);

<br>

// Trigger the download

link.click();

<br>

// Cleanup: remove the temporary link element

document.body.removeChild(link);

});

\</script>\
\
And create a custom element set as a button:\
\<button id="downloadButton" data-file="{{wf {\&quot;path\&quot;:\&quot;file-to-download\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;FileRef\&quot;\\} }}" class="button">Download File\</button>\
replacing {{wf {\&quot;path\&quot;:\&quot;file-to-download\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;FileRef\&quot;\\} }} with the relevant field from your cms
