Hello Everyone,
I would like to be able to edit the "page content" section of an uploaded gallery.
The gallery has been uploaded via TTG publisher and the text is displaying correctly. I want to edit the Markdown so that I can create a hyperlink in the text. I've been doing this without a problem for my main website pages, however, I can't figure out what file contains the text that I wish to edit.
www.website.com/galleries/galleryindex/galleryA
When I access galleryA via my FTP server, none of the files seem to have the text that is displaying on the page and I therefore can't insert a hyperlink via Markdown.
Any ideas?
While I'm this topic, does anybody know how to make text link to a file to download? I would like to have some PDF documents downloadable on my website by clicking on hyperlinked text.
Thank you all for your help.
Best,
Yonatan

For Publisher created Albums you must edit the text in the Edit Album dialog in Publisher. All the text is stored in the database in ttg-be so changes must be made in Publisher.
For your pdf downloads, just put them on line and write in the link to them in Markdown. For example:
download [this PDF](http://yoursite.com/downloads/some-file.pdf)Rod
Just a user with way too much time on his hands.

Thank you Rob.
The PDF download is for something on my site created with TTG plugins, but not managed with TTG Publisher.
I have uploaded to my server as such:
public_html/files/randomdocument.pdf
I think my issue is that I don't know what URL to direct the link to. In Filezilla, when I copy the URL for the file it gives me the URL if accessing via FTP. Is my PDF uploaded to a place on my server that is not accessible via a hyperlink?
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Yonatan

The path to your files that you see via ftp access is very similar. The only difference is that public_html is replaces with your domain name. So, if you have a document at public_html/files/randomdocument.pdf, then the url to it will be http://www.yoursite.com/files/randomdocument.pdf.

Thank you. I was including public_html in my link and that was the problem.
Is there an easy way to have the link open the file in a new window or is that an involved thing to do?

I believe that you will have to use html instead of markdown for that, but is fairly simple. Here is the format:
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/files/randomdoccument.pdf" target="_blank">Hyper Link Text</a>The part that makes it open in a new window is the target="_blank". For more information on html links check out this site: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp
