Download documents

Get the download link

You can use DMSDocument::getLink to retrieve the secure route to download a DMS document:

$document = DMSDocument::get()->byId(123);
$link = $document->getLink();

Default download behaviour

The default download behaviour is "download" which will force the browser to download the document. You can select "open" as an option in the document's settings in the CMS individually, or you can change the global default value with configuration:

Config::inst()->update('DMSDocument', 'default_download_behaviour', 'open');

Or in YAML:

DMSDocument:
  default_download_behaviour: open
