Post by dannac »

HTML does not include a standard option for this functionality. To achieve this, you will need to implement a custom script. Alternatively, you can provide a link to a ZIP file that contains all the necessary files.

The easiest way is as Pablo stated. Create a folder with all the files inside and then zip it up. Then create a link to this zip folder which will allow the user to download the zip file. The only issues obviously is that the user will have to unzip it on their computer. Not a biggie but one extra step but this is common on sites.

If you need to download all files the zip is probably best. I have several customers that have multiple files that are displayed, and the visitor can click to open/download each individual file in the list. I use the Bootstrap File Listing Extension. Just tell the extension the folder to be displayed.

sample use:
