- - Links and Files Database (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60403)

All works fine now, thanks to Andrew's prompt help :)

And now something more general:

If users want to download a file using some download manager, they can copy the link but then the Save File name the manager gives is local_links.php, yet the file is actually the chosen file. Is there a way to go around this and give the real file name?

Also: currently people with dl managers can't resume the downloads, is there anything that can be done about this?

And another issue:

It would be nice if there was a way to mass-change permissions of links in a single category... I did a test run and now have to manually change some 20 links :)))

@AndrewD : This is a great hack. I just have a quick question, for example I have some media file (.wma, .wmv) and I mask the link with this hack. When my user want to dload the media file, they have to do right click --> save target as... otherwise if they click on the link, it will auto pop up the window media.
So my question is how can I change to direct dload when I just left click mouse to the link?

Thanks inadvance.

// with some mimetypes may open file in a browser window. Right click 

// offers "Save As" option.

define('HEADER_BEHAVIOUR','inline');

// Or... left-click always offers Open/Save As dialogue. Can cause "Open"

// problems for pdf files with Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat.

// define('HEADER_BEHAVIOUR','');

Try commenting out the first 'define' and uncomment the second so that it looks like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
// Download handling matches VBulletin.  With Internet Explorer, left click 

// with some mimetypes may open file in a browser window. Right click 

// offers "Save As" option.

// define('HEADER_BEHAVIOUR','inline');

// Or... left-click always offers Open/Save As dialogue. Can cause "Open"

// problems for pdf files with Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat.

define('HEADER_BEHAVIOUR','');

This should do what you want - I've tried it with mp3 files using IE and Firefox - but some combinations of browsers and plug ins may cause other problems.

If you really want to make this work with all download managers, then I think you will have to set force_redirect to 2 on the links admin page. However, this will create two new problems which may or may not be important to you - the location of all your links will become completely visible and the hit counter will not work.

In the next version, I'll make it possible for certain usergroups to mass change the permissions of entries within a category.

Hi AnDrewD!

Thanks for the reply, I did try your suggestion but it didn't work. Usually when you click on link mp3 the Windown Media will not start automatically but with files are .wmv, .wma it does.

Maybe you can take a look and help me out to solve this problem ?? I am sure many other users who use and love this hack also want the samething as I do.

Thank u.

Ps: mayb this will help you some: http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/34430.html

An easy to use force file download script, especially useful for sites that have large media files and would like people to download the files locally instead of playing them remotely off the web server. Usage: http://www.yoursite.com/force-downlo...?file=filepath

Awsome, it works. All bow down to u. A big thank from my community.
