Masking filename

enot · Post by **enot** » Mon 14. Feb 2005, 11:37

Hi all! Let me tell about some little problem with file links: when I add a file, it appears exactly as it was named by me. For example, if I have a file called "asd.pdf", I have a link "asd.pdf". So filename just duplicates, isn't it? My idea is to add some "masking" dialog field, which allows to put custom filename between <a href></a> tags, so it should look like <a href="asd.pdf">A pdf file</a>, instead of <a href="asd.pdf">asd.pdf</a>.
Does anyone have comments on this?

This is a really good idea.

I do agree with the 2 postings before and recommend a alternative text showing instead of the pure filename.
If there ist no such text indicated, the filename should used.

Ok, I'll do that! All good ideas always come spontaneously
