I have a page to which I have added a pdf file http://mysite.com.au/products/widgets I am linking to that file with kirbytext (image: Flyer.jpg link: Flyer.pdf ) Which goes to a url formated like this http://mysite.com.au/content/2-products/3-widgets/Flyer.pdf Is there a straight foward way to…

@lukasbestle : This solution would only work if you modified the image tag, though?

Yes, exactly. When using it inside a Kirbytag, you would need to overwrite the tag with your own implementation.

@lukasbestle Thanks for that but because of the redirect it is not straight foward. I have settled on creating a pdf folder and using relative links as the easiest way of getting nicer urls. I made an invisible folder in content called pdf/ and added the pdfs. Then I link to it with kirbytext (im…

But after reading further I don’t think easily doabl…

Is it possible to get nice urls for kirbytext (file: ) links?
