Is it possible to get the path to an uploaded file with the File Manager?

Hello Publii developers!

When I upload a PDF or an image with the File Manager, is it possible to get the address to that PDF or image with one of the helpers?

Why? Well, I was thinking of embedding 3D FlipBook (3dflipbook.net/simple-tag-pdf) to one of the pages on my website and for that to run well, I have to be able to generate the path to the pdf.

Sure. If you upload a file using the Tools & Plugins > File manager, without choosing the media/files location , the URL will be something like: http://www.yourdomain.com/your-file-name.pdf

However, if while in Tools & Plugins > File manager, you choose to upload to the ‘media/files’ link location using the link provided, your final URL will be something like http://www.yourdomain.com/media/files/your-file-name.pdf

Thank you!

Haven’t thought about that:
There is not need to generate the path (except the domain); the last part can be hard coded!

Problem solved!
