Custom Links

...I use Ditto to publish News on my site... there is a way to link files directly?
For example, if i want open a pdf file when the user click on the title of the news, how I can do it?
Using sendRedirect(’FILENAME’)

1. Create a template variable type "file", for example with the name "news-pdf", fill out the TV with the PDF for any document (news)
2. Use your ditto template like this for the headline:



Should work, but not tested.

Some news only are links to pdf file, so i try this way:

- I create a TV named "news-pdf"
- in the singles pages that will be "links" to pdf files I set the value of TV "news-pdf"
- in this pages i call a snippet with this code

<?php
$modx->sendRedirect($modx->documentObject[’news-pdf’]);
?>

...the problem is this: documentObject[’news-pdf’] return "array" as value... why?

thanks MadeMyDay

If you are saying only some news entries should link to a pdf, just make the default value of the tv [~[+id+]~] that way it will link to the full news entry if it is not a PDF.

Sorry , I have solved the problem creating a custom Ditto template (with +description+ and no +summary+) and set the pdf link pages as weblink.
