Download Lock Module- members only download protection...
Development and Programming
This module has been perfect for a little site I developed, thanks Robyn.
I did have some problems with IE7 users getting corrupted files, not due Download Lock itself, but rather a messing up of MIME types and possibility some interplay with gzip compression. The resultant download would display a ‘corrupted’ message for IE7 users when trying to extract using the Windows built in extraction utility.
The solution was to change line 216 of the mod.download_lock.php file from: case “zip”: $ctype=”application/zip”;
to: case “zip”: $ctype=”application/octet-stream”;
Hi Robin, thank you for activating my account. I could download and install the file but i keep getting this error: Download error Incorrect download link Return to main page The settins in the module are as follows:and this is my template code:var $field_id = '13'; var $download_path = '/home/www/htdocs/www.mydomain/downloads/';{exp:weblog:entries} <h3>{title}</h3> <a href="http://{exp:download_lock:link">Download</a> {/exp:weblog:entries}
I’m getting the same error on this.
Does anyone have a valid copy of this posted somewhere? Robin’s site appears to be broken.
I’m looking for this as well. - does anyone have a copy of Download Lock that they could share?
Is this what you are looking for. I have used it on one project and it works good.
Does anyone have any instructions on how to use it?
I get Download
But how do you control which user group can have access?
@artlab - I believe you set a variable in the mod.download_lock.php file. It should be commented out by default.
hi everybody,
I’m getting this message:
“Download error Incorrect download link Return to main page”
Which is the right path for the download_path variable?
This doesn’t work: var $download_path = ‘http//www.mysite.com/downloads/’;
I’ve got the “downloads” folder on the site root…
Thanks
Marco
…and here is the solution:
CP Home › Admin › System Preferences › General Configuration
look at the item “Theme Folder Path”
grab the full path and change the last part with your default folder name…
Best regards
Marco
“And then I added a little htaccess file to the download folder….”
Can anyone share what needs to go in this htaccess file?
