Hi,
I've setup a Revo site with a members only access area and I'd like to provide a download area where I can put pdf copies of newsletters.
In the extra's there seems to be two options, either Filelister or FileDownload R. Unless I'm missing something there doesn't seem to be much difference in these packages. I'm not bothered about keeping a record of download numbers so I was hoping that if anyone has used these extra's they could highlight the differences between the two packages. At the moment I'm not sure which one is best suited for my needs, so any guidance would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Adrian Cherry
There's another option too...
Upload your pdf's into a directory, then create resources with a content type of pdf (have to add the content type first which is MIME Type application/pdf - extension .pdf), and then link the resource as a static resource to the pdf file. The content disposition should be "attachment".
Then you can use getResources for the listing and links which may provide you with more options. It really depends on how you plan to upload/use/list the files throrughout your site.

Thanks for the response. I had a system in Evo where I could chuck any file into a directory and it would automatically list all the files on the website. It's a mixture of pdf's, word documents, images etc and it would handle everything.
Looking at the listings I couldn't really see what the difference was FileLister and FileDownload, I was hoping that someone with some experience of either package could shed some light for me.
They are just the same, because have the same ascendant, evo's FileDownload.
I created FileDownload R because I didn't aware FileLister was existed at that time.
