    Dear xnau,

    Since recently i have created a own template to search and display the data in the database and retrieve it with an query. This is done with an custom template. Though, this also means i am not using the pdb-list code, at least not for the specific page.

    In the pdb-list, uploaded files in the signup form will automatically be clickable and downloadable the the pdb-list results. The question however is, how can i add the download/click functionality in my own custom template where the data is directly fetched and displayed out of the database?

    Thanks you in advance!

    You need to build your links using the URL of the plugin uploads location and add the filename which is stored in the record. There’s really nothing more to it than that.

    xnau, thank you for your reply! But i think i need a little more information then that since i am a bit stuck. The link where the uploaded files are stored is clear (i found them). Though, i need some (easy way) to attach those links to the right database field names. Like, i have no clue how to attach the proper url to the field it belongs to. So the question is, what selects that proper field>?

    Alright, it was indeed quite simple but i just didn’t knew immediately which direction to go. I added a simple href and selected the right comlumn by adding a AS to the query. Thank you anyway!
