Dynamic Download Functionality, Newsletter Downloads

    I don't have the URL yet. I do hope this is a simple query:

    Newsletters exist for the first 10 weeks of the year. On the form, a user is presented with a drop down of the last 5 weeks plus an option to go to the newsletter archive page. Once filling out their information, the user is directed to that newsletter page containing the download link.

    If a newsletter is posted in week six, the form shouldn't have to be modified but the new information should appear in the form.

    Is this possible? If so, please show me where in the documentation I can find it so I can figure it out or (and it may be asking for too much but...) provide an example.

    Optionally, I'd like to start a download instead of a page redirect.

    Thank you!

    @farcorners This would be possible using the available tools and custom code, however it's a customization and not something it is going to do out of the box. It would involve custom code to dynamically populate the drop down, and then custom code to handle the thank you page redirect. How familiar are you with PHP?

    Carl,
    I'm ok with PHP and have done lots of customizations but my programing days are behind me. Here are my thoughts on it:

    Make sure that each newsletter (or podcast) post has a custom field containing the file name to be referenced.

    Getting the last five newsletters or most recent posts for a category is straightforward and has been documented on this site.

    Once the Registration form is filled out, the user could be directed to a URL with the custom field concatenated onto it. That is the tricky part.

    What where you going to suggest?

    Thanks,
