Yes! It will certainly be added.

Awesome, makes perfect sense. Thanks!

I trust that this amendment will be included in future updates to the theme?

Hi there,

Ah, yes. Zip file links are currently treated like regular page links. Here's what you need to do...

1. Open custom.js -- located in the "scripts" folder of the theme.

2. Change the following on line 289 from this...

if(thisLink.attr('id') != 'link-rss' && url.indexOf(siteUrl) == 0 && thisParent != "load-more" && url.indexOf("#") == -1 && url.indexOf("wp-admin") == -1 && url.indexOf(".jpeg") == -1 && url.indexOf(".png") == -1 && url.indexOf(".gif") == -1 && url.indexOf(".jpg") == -1 && url.indexOf(".pdf") == -1 && url.indexOf("mailto") == -1 && theBody.hasClass('ajax-on')){

...to this...

if(thisLink.attr('id') != 'link-rss' && url.indexOf(siteUrl) == 0 && thisParent != "load-more" && url.indexOf("#") == -1 && url.indexOf("wp-admin") == -1 && url.indexOf(".jpeg") == -1 && url.indexOf(".png") == -1 && url.indexOf(".gif") == -1 && url.indexOf(".jpg") == -1 && url.indexOf(".pdf") == -1 && url.indexOf(".zip") == -1 && url.indexOf("mailto") == -1 && theBody.hasClass('ajax-on')){

You'll noticed I added "url.indexOf(".zip") == -1" which tells the theme that is not a page link.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Christopher

Hi Christopher,

I've just put together a site with VYSUAL. All is working well except it seems impossible to make a file download link. I've added a plain ZIP file to media and if I link to it within the site it generates a 'Nothing found' error and displays the busy wheel GIF.

The link works if entered directly into the browser.

Thanks!
Craig
