This HowTo requires 3 modules to be active:
Overview
* Editor Embeded Media
* File Downloads
* Group Pages or Page Creator
We use the File Download module to create a file, the Group Pages to create a page and the Editor Embeded Media to embed the file in the page.
-
The first step is to upload the file you want to embed onto your profile so it will be there when you want to put it into a page.
Step1: Upload the file to the profile
