File Page Template
Asked by Brittany Clark:

I would like to use the File Page Template to upload a large reference library of files. I have a couple of questions.

1. When I tested it, in addition to the files listing, all the file names are grouped together at the top of the page. Is there a way to get rid of the grouped portion? There will be over a hundred files on the page.

2. Is there a way to sort the files on the page once they are uploaded, preferably by file name?

3. Can you search by a file name to locate the file once the page is published?

I have tested creating a new page with the "File List" template and I can see this one comes with the attachments macro.

On the image with the page title "Test Letter Page," where you see the attachments at the top, have you uploaded those directly to the page? Did you use the drag-and-drop option or something similar?

I'm asking this as in the edit mode, it is not possible to drag and drop or see the option to browse in the macro, only in the view mode.

In this case, could you also confirm if the attachments you are seeing in there at the top, are showing listed in the attachments macro?

If they are, please feel free to remove the attachments at the top. They should keep showing in your attachments macro listed as long they are also showing in the page menu \> attachments.

In case it is positive that the attachments are being uploaded in the edit mode, please try creating a new page with the same file list template, but before uploading any attachment, publish the page and then try uploading from the view mode with the macro options.

That shouldn't be adding those attachments you are seeing like in your screenshot, however, if you are already doing it and this is actually creating those attachments like in your screenshot, please let me know the detailed steps, and I'll try on my side, as I wasn't able to replicate the issue, unless trying to upload from the edit mode.

Regards,  
Jessica

I see this in my cloud instance also. When I select it, I get the following screen:

When I click the **About file list** link, however, I get a Page Not Found for the documentation about the blueprint in Cloud. You can get to some Data Center documentation about the blueprint, but there is no equivalent when you click the Cloud button on the DC page.

So it may be that this was at one time, but is no longer supported on Cloud?

body: Can you share a screenshot of the template in question? I don't see a template of the name "Page File", I tried a few possible suspects but do not see the behavior you describe.

body: yeah, looks pretty ugly. I'm not seeing that with the standard templates on my site. Can you confirm the template name, maybe it's a custom one just for your instance?
