LinkLocker Pro - Commercial Release

My new site isn’t up yet, but soon will offer automated purchases. For the time being, LinkLocker Pro for EE 1.6.x is licensed at $30 per site. Licenses can be made by sending payment via Paypal to [email protected] and specifying the URL(s) of the site(s) you wish to license. Upon receipt of your payment, the module, plugin & docs will be sent to your Paypal email.

Thanks!

Hey Brad,

My client is looking to protect downloads based on member group, and LinkLocker looks like the perfect solution. However, they need to be able to share some of the stats like what files specific members have downloaded with people who don’t have access to the control panel. Is it possible to output stats in an XML file, for instance, using a standard EE template?

And do you have any updated pre-sale info about this module (screenshots in particular would be helpful)? I’m going to need to sell the module to the client, and outdate documentation and a couple of screenshots that are so pixellated as to be illegible are not going to help much.

Ian,

The module does not output stats to XML by default, but you could certainly use a custom query against the linklocker tables to pull the statistics data you require within a standard EE template. As for the docs and CP pics, I’m fairly certain the docs are up to date. The only changes with the module have been bugfixes for various scenarios, no major feature changes. As for the poor quality photos, will work on it when I have a chance. There is also a version coming out for EE 2.0. You can expect pricing will likely change when that happens. Thanks for the interest in the module!

Thanks Brad, a custom query should work well and would certainly be a lot less work than rolling my own solution. I’ll hopefully be able to get the client to purchase the module shortly.

Looking forward to when you’ve got a website up for LinkLocker!

Hi Brad,

Just about to launch a client site and it seems the LinkLocker generated links aren’t working in IE6. Working fine on others.

IE6 pops up a window telling me I’m downloading the file …=MC4ZMTMN2NJIw (etc) from example.com.

When I save it, it’s just a bizarre filename and not the PDF it should be.

Any advice appreciated!

Andy.

Andy,

This is the first time I’ve heard of such an issue, and I couldn’t begin to imagine why the module would cause such a problem. If you’d like to provide login and FTP details and such via PM, I’d be happy to take a look at your installation. Could it be your browser? Have you tried on a different machine running IE6? I’d be happy to help, but as I said, this is the first I’ve heard of such an issue.

Thanks, Brad

It’s a strange one, but it’s happening on a ‘real’ IE6 and also on my vmware install. By no means should we discount user error here.

I’ll PM you a login if you’d be so kind as to take a look. Many thanks!

Andy,

Per my PM, I’ve logged in and verified it working on IE6 with Vista for me. Please check and make sure that the links haven’t perhaps expired for the user account you are trying to download with? Otherwise, I’m at a loss on this one, as I can’t duplicate.

Thanks for looking Brad. That is strange though, as it was happening on two machines. I’m sure I even deleted all the links and retested - will go back to the drawing board and start the process again!

We recently purchased LinkLocker Pro and upon installation everything seemed to work fine, but when the generated link is clicked the PDF file that downloads is the correct filename and filetype and yet it is only 8KB when the original file on the server is approx 900KB, and therefore the file doesn’t open. Any ideas why this might be happening?

UPDATE Fixed this problem—incorrect path–oops!

Usually this is caused by the .htaccess file not being configured to allow access to the file. The file ends up much smaller because it is actually an error message. Sometimes, changing the extension of the “corrupted” file to .txt will show the actual text of the error message.

Hi Brad

I’d like to buy LinkLocker for a client site, but it’s running on the MSM. (1.6.8).

Is Linklocker compatible with the MSM?

Che

Hi Che,

The straight answer is that I’m really not sure. It should, but if used on multiple sites would have to be licensed for them.

Thanks, Brad

This is the one commercial add-on I go out of my mind trying to find info about every time. Without reading through 9 forum pages, what is the current Pro version/build for 1.6.8 and the current price?

Make it easy for me to give you money!
