Basic question

Freeway

Hello<

Basic question, I have about 70 Word docs that I need to make available for download from a freeway built website.

Is there a better way, other then the way my brain cells direct me, which is to list the titles in a html box, and link each title to its relevant word doc?

Thanks

if they need to be separate downloads as word docs then an individual html list sounds like the best way to me, otherwise it’s pdfs or you could individually zip them to make the downloads smaller

or bundle the whole lot in a folder and zip that

Is the question here one of how to make this listing process more
convenient for you as the site is maintained? Do you want to be able
to just drop a bunch of files in a folder on the server and have the
list on your page stay up-to-date automatically?

I have a PHP script that I use over at my Actions repository: <http://
freewaypro.com/actions/downloads/> which does this trick. If you want
to download it and play with it, it’s also in that same folder,
called file_list.php.zip. To integrate this with Freeway would be a
bit of coding work, because you would need to make the script only
generate the file list, rather than the entire page and all of its
styling. But that’s a logical next step, and a good thing to try if
you want to get your hands dirty.
