Ok - played with this some, and found that the following works:

Change the code in filefield_handler_field_data.inc (line 38):

  function render($values) {
    $values = drupal_clone($values); // Prevent affecting the original.
    $data = unserialize($values->{$this->field_alias});
    //$data = $values->{$this->field_alias};
    $values->{$this->field_alias} = $data[$this->options['data_key']];
	$passme = $values->{$this->field_alias};
    //return parent::render($values);
    return check_markup($passme, $this->options['format'], FALSE);
  }

Nothing has changed after changing the code even clearing the cached data...the requirement is the file should be there but there will be a separate description field of that file and If I write any url over in that description it should link to that url.

Override the theme_filefield_file() function in your template.php file within your theme if you'd like to use HTML in your descriptions. I'm closing this issue after lack of activity.

I also need do to it, but i don't know -neither find- with what to override the theme_filefield_file() function to allow html in the description field (i'm not talking PHP fluently).
The final use would be to have a text area with a limited ckeditor profile activated, allowing people to select custom fonts, inserting links etc..

Any help about the overriding for html & text area would be gratefully appreciated!

thx
-P-

The FileField queue isn't really the place for instruction on theming, see this handbook page on getting started with overriding theme functions: http://drupal.org/node/457740
