Make Media File URL Hyperlink in Admin Columns of CCT

MayurPublished on

 When a media file widget is added to Jetform builder or via CCT to accept files from users, there are only two available options for displaying it in the admin columns. One is showing file ID and the other is showing its URL. The problem with URLs is that they cant be clicked on, so we have to copy and paste them into new windows or open them in a new window to download the file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What display options do CCT admin columns offer for a media file field?
According to the author (writing in December 2023), a media field filled from JetFormBuilder or a CCT could be shown in the CCT admin columns only as the file ID or as the file URL.
Why is the media file URL in a CCT admin column a problem?
The URL is shown as plain text, so it cannot be clicked. To download the file you have to copy and paste the URL into a new window or open it in a new window.
