In your template, wherever <code>$item</code> is used, you can add this: <code><?php display_files($item->Files); ?></code> The <code>display_files()</code> function will create a download link if the file is anything except an image, movie, or audio file. If you'd prefer to make a download file for each file associated with your item, you can loop through your item's files and provide a download link using this code: <code><?php foreach ($item->Files as $file) {</code> <code>echo '<a href="'. file_download_uri($file). '" class="download-file">'. $file->original_filename. '</a>';</code> <code>} ?></code> Hope this helps! patrickgmj on "Viewing Moving Images" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/viewing-moving-images#post-125 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:26:30 +0000 patrickgmj 125@http://omeka.org/forums/ I'm putting together an Omeka installation as a demo and exploration space for a Digital History course at University of Mary Washington. We're all exploring it together, and one person added a Moving Image item. It appears to be there in the archive directory, but there isn't a way to play/embed it in the page, or to download it. Am I missing a setup step either on the server or in omeka? Thanks much, Patrick Gosetti-Murrayjohn Instructional Technology Specialist University of Mary Washington BTW--the students and teacher are having a great deal of fun exploring this application!
