Use custom formats when displaying multiple files to select from

    My users select (checkboxes) from a list of files. I’d like to display each file’s description, along with it’s title, in the list that the users select from.

    I’m using the old version of Download Monitor, so I understand how to use custom formats to modify the output of the files that are displayed AFTER the form is submitted. I need to modify the file list that users select from BEFORE submitting the form.

    Thanks!

  • After a bit of testing I can see $d->short_description with some debug code but it is not showing in the page so I think this custom theme that I inherited is somehow stopping this from working correctly. Not quite sure where to look.

    I GOT IT!
    I needed the <edb_left />
    And I really didn’t understand that until I dug through all the code.
    I still don’t understand why the short_descriptions didn’t come out with <ebd />

    Thanks!

    I don’t know off the top of my head, but I would guess that the ebd and the ebd_left code are in two different sections of code. Since I was using ebd_left on the website where I wrote those modifications, I probably only modified the section of code associated with ebd_left and the other section of code was unmodified. Again, just a guess…
