Hi,
I have a file field(repeatable) and the upload form - WordPress Media Library manager checked.
The file selection button selects multiple files trough the manager, but the view shows only 1 button with dynamic file url name, although all files have been uploaded.

I have them listed as downloadable buttons and simple single fields in the view and the buttons show only one of the uploaded files in the batch, while the single fields show all.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know - are you using blocks to display the file field or classic view shortcodes?

Have you tried repeating field block to display you file field. If you can share problem URL and admin access details and tell me what exactly the output you are looking for within what section of your page.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Hi,

Minesh will be available tomorrow. I checked and the login information worked for me. So we will reply back tomorrow.

Thanks.

The button block is intended to work with the single link and you have repeating field so you will have multiple links.

To display the download button, I've added the "Fields and Text" block and within that I've added the following code:
=> hidden link

[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-teacher-lessons-upload"]
<div class="tb-button" data-toolset-blocks-button="3e35d6c50fa2f5e9a243113d42c47385"><a class="tb-button__link" href="[types field='teacher-lessons-upload' output='raw'][/types]"><i class="tb-button__icon"></i><span class="tb-button__content">Download</span></a></div>

[/wpv-for-each]

You can adjust the code as required and add your desired CSS to change the look and feel of the download button.

Also, you will not be able to show the file name, if you want to display the file name, you will have to use the custom shortcode. Please check the following related ticket:

i can no longer access the view to edit the code,so my file names are shown. The view just keeps loading and does not load

[Minesh]

What file names you want to display? if you can share information I am happy to check and fix that.

Have you added the custom shortcode and used within your view?

[georgiI]

I managed to get to the view, but no matter what i do the save button is not clickable and i cannot save any progress.
Like before i need the filename to be visible - not the whole path.
I made it work before, but now it no longer works with the new code.

[Minesh]

I would like to know have you try using the custom shortcode to display the file name?

[georgiI]

yes, the last code working was:

[teacher_lessons_filename]

function toolset_file_field_filename_only() { $url = types_render_field('teacher-lessons-upload', array('output' => 'raw')); if (!$url) return ''; return basename($url); // returns just 'filename.pdf' } add_shortcode('teacher_lessons_filename', 'toolset_file_field_filename_only');

[Minesh]

Please check now: hidden link

I've added the following custom shortcode to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset with the code snippet namely "toolset-cutom-code":
=> hidden link

function toolset_file_field_filename_only($atts, $content = null) {
     $file_url = trim(wpv_do_shortcode($content));

    if (empty($file_url)) {
        return '';
    }

    // Extract and return the file n
    return basename($file_url); // Extracts filename only
}
add_shortcode('teacher_lessons_filename', 'toolset_file_field_filename_only');

And within your view' I've adjusted the code to display button as given under:

[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-teacher-lessons-upload"]
<div class="tb-button" data-toolset-blocks-button="3e35d6c50fa2f5e9a243113d42c47385"><a class="tb-button__link" href="[types field='teacher-lessons-upload' output='raw'][/types]"><i class="tb-button__icon"></i><span class="tb-button__content">[teacher_lessons_filename][types field='teacher-lessons-upload' output='raw'][/types][/teacher_lessons_filename]</span></a></div>
 
[/wpv-for-each]

Can you please confirm it works as expected.

[georgiI]

Yes, they work now Thank you
