Is Anyone Familiar With Kompozer? Need help with download.html

[joseph1]

Is anyone familiar with kompozer, I created a download page and uploaded it to my site along with the corresponding images. when I click browse in kompozer, everything is fine and I can click on the download button and it opens up my e-book.

When I type the download.html page into my browser, the download button does nothing.

Insufficient information. What HTML or other code does the download button access?

I uploaded the ebook to my host and linked the button to the page that the book resides at.

So what happens when you click on the link? Does it take you to the file? What format is the file?

When I click on the link it sends me to a 404 error page but I checked and the spelling seems to be fine. I got the link while in my ftp client, I clicked on public_html and then highlighted the ebook and right clicked, on the drop down menu I clicked on copy url to clipboard.

This is the link it gave me

http://www.mydomain.com/public_html/ebookname.pdf

That's not the correct URL. Your domain already maps to /public_html/ on your server so you need to omit that part.

The correct URL will be [noparse]http://yourdomain.com/ebookname.pdf[/noparse].

But most browsers will try to open a PDF file in the browser if you have the correct add-ons. If so, then the PDF can be saved from the browser once it opens.

I tried that to and did not work, but you are correct, i don't need the public_html in the url but I did finnally get it.

When I open the download page that I made in the browser and then hover over the download button, I noticed the url in the status bar looked like this

http://www.mydomain.com/http://www.mydomain.com/ebookname.pdf

It turns out that all I needed to type in the url field was the name of the ebook, I'm guessing that the editor automatically links it to my site, seeing that the download page is already uploaded.

Thanks for all the help and being patient,
Joseph
