Dynamic Content: Can't Figure Out How To Change URL Text For Downloadable Files.
Brad Thompson
When adding a pdf download to a Dynamic Content Detail Page, only the URL of the file is displayed using the Dyanmic Text add-on. media/attachments/2025/08/28/presentation.pdf
How can I modify the URL text to something professional like "Download Presentation."
It seems like this fuctionality is missing, or should be more intuative.

Accepted AnswerHello,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Could you please share temporary administrator access to your Joomla backend? You can provide the credentials securely in the hidden content section. Also, please take a full backup of your site before we make any changes.
Once I have access, I’ll investigate further and see what’s causing the issue. Let me know once you’ve shared the details!
Best regards,
Brad Thompson
Accepted AnswerUnfortunately, I have too many layers of security.
Can you just explain the steps for adding a file properly to a Dynamics Content page?
When adding a Dynamic Link to a page, there is a field to modify the Link Text.
When adding a Dynamic File to a page, there is no field to adjust the Link Text for the file.
Using Dynamic Text to display files feels like a hack. There should be a Dynamic Files add-on to choose from that is specific to files. Please tell your Devs to create this and make it much easier handling files.
NOTE: Default Text is only if the field is empty, not the name of the file!
