Title: Download plugin - file size, number of pages
Post by: seadhna on October 31, 2014, 11:02:00

Hi there,
is there any way, or might there be a way in a future release, for the download plugin to display the file size of documents and/or the number of pages. The number of pages would most likely need to be entered manually, but if there was a field for this, that would be great.

The file size of the document is already been displayed but not the number of pages. Elxis is a php application, it can't count the number of pages of a document such as word, pdf, excel, text, etc. A solution would be a special input element where you could manually type the number of pages.

Alternatively you could type the number of pages in the element title.
Example: Lord of the rings (500 pages)

Hi, I don't get file size displayed when I use the download plugin. How can I switch this on?

The file size is been displayed automatically on listings having a file attached!
See the plugin's screenshot from elxis.net (https://www.elxis.net)
