Web designing...

Post by Sparky »

Okay i'm currently making a website for Eu.gaming..

And i would like a download page however the web host i'm using does not support this feature..

i can surely make a page named downloads and add URLS to other websites to download from but i don't want that..

is there a feature any one can recomend me to get to add to my site via HTML or any sort of code...

that will allow me to allow users / members download from my site.

I really don't quite know what you're trying to describe, but a download page is just like any other regular HTML page. You put the name of it, maybe a small description, and a direct link to the file you want them to download.

This can all be done with basic HTML that a beginner would know. You said you don't want it to be off-site, so all you do is get your hands on the files yourself and then upload them straight to your website.

I don't know what kind of web host you're using, or what methods you're using to make this website, so I can't provide you with any specific details. Just the way you worded your post, you're obviously a novice and probably using your host's webpage builder.

Code: Select all

<!-- repeat this HTML code for each download -->
<a href="http://yourwebsite/path/to/the/file.ext"><h3>Name of File</h3></a>
<p>Short description about the file.</p>
