Forum topic: How to add 'download original video file' link?
Submitted by leetamus on Tue, 2008/08/05 - 18:15.
Hey all
Anyone know of a method to add a link below the video that downloads the original version? I know there's the button on the player that already does this, I'd just prefer to have a link.
Thanks!

You could probably use the contemplate module.
hmm cool thanks i'll check in to that ;)
man i just can't seem to figure this out.. I notice this in on the frontpage:
Token / Custom Links support - have video info under the node, e.g. duration, download link.
I installed custom links but still at a loss... im off to find Token... maybe that will help. Once I get it working I'll be sure to post back here as im sure im not the only one hung up on this and this forum is sort of a ghost town when looking for answers.
ok! got it working. Here's how:
Download the Token and Custom Links modules and activate them. Go into Custom Links from the Admin panel and add a new link. You will notice a new section called 'Placeholder Tokens' which will list all the available variables you can access. In the case of op_video you just put the variable you want into the 'Title' field and leave the path blank. For the [field_video_upload-download] download link you'll need to check the 'title uses html' box or it won't work. That's it!
sidenote: it would be cool if the download link variable was the actual download link rather than outputting html Download I would prefer mysite.com/files/videos/original/thevid.mp4 so I could set my own link text.
hope it helps someone out there! :D
There are more tokens exposed in the latest version: http://drupal.org/node/286770
thanks jbrown, I noticed that, some nice raw versions of the existing tokens including just the link for the original video download so we can customize the text as we want wootwoot!
