Testing on my production remote server on Digital Ocean neither work. What makes it more frustrating is that both tutorials are so out of date…Grateful for any help.

Hello, nothing really changed the way the download component works so the tutorials are not out of date.

Maybe explain what the issue is in more details, post any errors you see, explain what are you trying to download exactly.

File I want to download is shown in the code: id=“download1” url=“export/account_1/strategies.csv”
I created it with the export api.

No errors shown except for response says ‘this request has no response data available’.

The download location modal shown in the tutorial does not display.

Deprecated dmxDownload?

Have I missed something? The UI shown on the tutorial is completely different to the one I can see…has there been another update? mmm confused…

thanks Teodor

The UI is from an older version but the functionality is the same, called the same way. Can you please send a link to your page or share your server action steps screenshot and the page code.

This downloads the file but doesn’t give me opportunity to specify where I download it.

This it works then…
The option to select where to download the file is related to your(or any user) browser settings (Settings->Downloads , enable the option to ask for a location)

Haha, oops, thanks famousmag,

how stupid do I feel??!!

Ok so should we consider this resolved? Or are there still issues with any of the options?

Yep resolved thanks Teodor :slight_smile: ,
I would just like to make the point that outdated tutorials which don’t show the UI of the current wappler release makes things more difficult for users of the software to achieve what they want.
