Attach PDF to each event for download? was created by Richard Thomas
We have PDF flyers that people can use to publicise locally each of our events. We would like a button on each event that will download the PDF flyer. Can this be done, and if so, how please?

You can add an html button with some css. Most templates have a button class already.

<a href="pdflink" class="button ">PDF flyer</a>

Thanks. that makes a lot of sense, and would give me a lot of control. I would be very comfortable doing this in a standard html website. However, I've never attempted to modify a template in Joomla. Is there a way of doing this using the standard events booking set up? I would hate to break my Joomla site attempting this.

No need to modify anything you just put that in your description areas. That way you can have different downloads for each event. Otherwise you have to modify the template files each time your flyer changes.

Quick question: class="button" doesn't give me a button on the description. Where can I check the classes in css for event bookings?

It depends on your template. Most templates have a list of classes. You could look in your templates css files, or use the web inspector to see what class your existing buttons are on your site.

I think this is standard button class for EB you could use.
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="url">text</a>

Actually, for each event in Events Booking, you can upload attachment and it will be showed on events list and event details page

Edit the event, you will see a section to allow upload/select attachment. I think it would be a simpler process, please give it a try

The issue I have with the built in upload is that people often miss the attachment on the site. It is great for the email attachment. But people are in such a hurry and don't really read what in front of them I often have to put the downloads in the description. Would you consider an editor tag for placing the download links into the description areas?

I guess if you need to put something in the description, then you can insert it into the description easily using the HTML editor you are using. Honestly, I don't really see the need of developing a plugin like that, we still have other more important features we can work on instead
