Once upon a time I showed you how to implement members only downloads of attachments to posts on your Ning Network. And today I noticed that the areas under posts for attachments might now be as attractive as they should be. In fact, maybe the default word attachments isn't quite what it should be- ie it should be Downloads. So i figured out a hack/language editor tweak that fixes the attachments area inside forums and blogs for both the member facing DOWNLOADS and inside the post editor.
Search for and Replace 'Attachments:' in the Language Editor with the following:
<p><img style="width: 200px; height: 50px;" title="Downloads from this post" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11388275?profile=original" alt="Download Survey Documents" /></p>
