# Need for %FILE_TYPE% template variable

 * Hello Lester,
    the plugin works great. It would be even better with a %FILE_TYPE%
   variable which would give me only the file extension part (without the ‘.gif’
   suffix). I would like to use the great font awesome icon set instead of the image
   icons. Any chance you will implement this?
 * Thanks in advance,
    Oskar

 * Sure why not since it is not that difficult. Try the dev version [https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-downloadmanager/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-downloadmanager/archive/master.zip)
 * The variable is %FILE_EXT%
