I have a template file saved in my Microsoft SharePoint document library, I am using a promoted link tile (linking directly to the file in the SharePoint) to make it easier for users to download it.
Problem is, I don't want people to open the file directly, but to force them to save the file first. Is there any way to do so just by adding something in the URL ?
In HTML5, most browsers you can add a 'download' attribute to the a element.
for example:
Download
Refer: How can I create download link in html?
Yes, there it. Add "/_layouts/download.aspx?SourceURL=" after the site name.
If the direct URL is sp.contoso.com/SharedDocuments/myfile.docx, then the download URL is sp.contoso.com/_layouts/download.aspx?SourceURL=/SharedDocuments/myfile.docx

I have an app in which the user should be able to get a txt file from there external storage in order to upload to firebase_storage. The thing is, I don't know the path of the file, so I want the user to be able to choose this like they would be able to choose a pdf using file_picker or pick an image using image_picker? How would I be able to do this?
I figured out that I can use the flutter_document_picker and specify in that that I want a txt file for the device to get.
My Edge extension creates PDF files. What's is the best approach to provide a download capability for these files in my extension? I tried:
window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob()
create link dynamically and assign data URI to the HREF field
this approach: http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/a.download.html
None of these ways seem to work. The "Downloads" API is not available at the moment. Using the Flash script to download the file is not the best solution (it requires Flash to be enabled).
Ideal scenario is: user clicks a "Download" button, and a "Save as" dialog appears. So how do I do that in my Edge extension?

Everything is in the title. The user of my program can upload files to a SharePoint server, how can I provide him a link to open this file? Meaning, how can I get the URL to put in the link?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just to clarify, the File item I get after the upload only contains a ServerRelativeUrl propertie, which won't work for subsites.
Try:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Your SharePoint Site here" +"/"+ "ServerRelativeUrl");
I've got a working system to upload to the default root using resumable uploads and I've been able to make the meta data in a collection but I need to be able to do this type of upload straight to a collection or sub collection.
My main problem is the url, there's no defined example of a straight upload path to a collection?
I assumed that it would be like:
https://docs.google.com/feeds/upload/create-session/default/private/full/folder%3A[folder_id]/contents
considering that the typical upload path is similar except without the upload/create-session part?
In a folder entry, look for a link like this:
<link rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#resumable-create-media"
type="application/atom+xml"
href="https://docs.google.com/feeds/upload/create-session/default/private/full"/>
The href is what you need to send to to create the file in that folder.
p.s. Have you considered using the new Drive API? It has this funcitonality and is considerably better to use.
Turns out I was originally correct and the URL I provided was correct for uploading but the function I created for generating the URL was missing out the / between feeds and upload
I'm using joomla 1.6 to develop a website also i'm beginner to joomla. I need to attach one or more pdf files with the article. Any one can please help me to attach file with article and how to get this attachment in frontend. Please help any one how to do that. I tried with phoco download and attachments plugin. But i don't
One way to do this is to log into administration and edit your article in Content Items Manager. With the editor you can insert a link. When you do, click on Shared Documents and then upload the pdf you want to attach.
In your article, you need to use your insert/edit link, in the Link URL section enter the full link of where the pdf is found e.g. www.yourdomainname/images/myfile.pdf. It is always advised to open the pdf in a new window so you can set that in the insert/edit link. Hope this helps.
