Product Downloads
Usage
Product Downloads lists files assigned to one Doc Product. Groups use Doc Type as the heading. Each file is a download or a link to the documentation page.
Product is required. The editor shows a notice until you pick one.
Place the block inside a Section or a column.
Show documents from another site
When a sister brand keeps its documentation on another Dirigible site, Product Downloads can list that site's documents instead of this site's.
- In Documentation → Settings, enter the other site's address in Documentation Site (for example
https://www.example.com). - In the block, set Source to Documentation site.
- Pick the Product, and optionally a Brand to list only that brand's documents for the product.
Files and documentation pages open on the other site. The list only shows documents anyone can see there. Documents limited to selected users never appear. If the other site uses lead gating, every link opens its documentation page so the form still applies, even with Direct Download.
A product or brand added on the other site shows in the block's Product and Brand lists within a minute. Other changes there can take up to an hour to show here. If the other site can't be reached, the block keeps showing the last list it loaded. On a page that has never loaded the list, visitors see nothing, and the editor shows a notice.
Source only appears once Documentation Site is set.
When to use it
Use this on a product page when visitors should download manuals and CAD for that product only. Use Documentation Explorer when they need to search the full library.
Tips
- Direct Download sends the file. Landing Page opens the documentation page (lead gating and member access still apply there).
- Headline Style and Filename Style change how the type heading and file name look. They stay paragraphs.
- Divider Height is the box border and the rule between type groups.
