    Hi guys,

    I often have customers complain how “hard” it is to offer a download (PDF, ZIP or similar). While it is easy to get editors to understand how to use the page builder and do all their stuff, adding a PDF Link to a button or behind an image is incredibly hard.

    Therefore I would appreciate it, if the standard link dialog in the page builder had a “media Library” function where it would open the media library and you could select a file that is than used as the link. (e.g. fill in the manual link).

    Is anythink planned like this? Or did anybody achieve something like it already?
    If not: Is there a hook to get into this area? I would be happy to try to develope somthing here. But I do not want to touch enfold’s core files for obvious reasons ;)

    Thanks for the input Sascha

    Hey saschapi,

    We would be glad to help you with this customization, but at the moment there is no easy way to do this by using a small custom code snippet, so I am afraid its out of the scope of our support.

    But please feel free to request such feature at our feature request system: https://kriesi.at/support/enfold-feature-requests/

    This system allows us to keep track of user suggestions and lets you vote on the feature you would like to see the most. I am afraid though there is no guarantee that a feature will get implemented. If that’s something you really need you can always try to hire a developer for the task :)

    Best regards,
    Basilis

    Hi,

    Please use the regular button and add the pdf or zip file link. I have created a shortcode for you so you can just copy it and change the pdf link :)

    [av_button label='Download PDF' link='manually,http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf' link_target='_blank' size='large' position='center' icon_select='yes' icon='ue86f' font='entypo-fontello' color='green' custom_bg='#444444' custom_font='#ffffff' admin_preview_bg='']

    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Best regards,
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay,
    this is not what I’m looking for . I know all this and I am able to do this. I’m a developer.
    Editors that are not so tech savvy have problems with using shortcodes and copy pasting PDF URLs. This request is for ease of use for users that are not able to use “sophisticated” editing ways.
    Best regards Sascha

    Hi,

    I’m not sure if that option is going to be included in the theme. Please feel free to request – or vote if already requested – such feature on Enfold feature request form. Temporarily, modify the button shortcode in the child theme and add an instruction or more info regarding pdf creation in the “Button Link?” option description.

      array(	
							"name" 	=> __("Button Link?", 'avia_framework' ),
							"desc" 	=> __("Where should your button link to?", 'avia_framework' ),
							"id" 	=> "link",
							"type" 	=> "linkpicker",
							"fetchTMPL"	=> true,
							"subtype" => array(	
												__('Set Manually', 'avia_framework' ) =>'manually',
												__('Single Entry', 'avia_framework' ) =>'single',
												__('Taxonomy Overview Page',  'avia_framework' )=>'taxonomy',
												),
							"std" 	=> ""),

    Add the description in the “desc” parameter.
