Download Manager

Author : Prasoon Gupta | Credits : Simon Stenhouse

What it does ?
If you want to provide some Downloading stuff from your website, and are concerned about
-Preventing Leeching of files from your server
-Hiding the actual location of your files
-Keep Count of the number of Downloads

Logging the Downloads with details IP Address/Date/Time of each download

Then this is the right Module for you. There is a easy way to use this module, though in alpha stage, if some contributors join we can add separate file browser for the Download Files, to enable easy uplaoding and easy linking.

How to use ?
After Activating the plugin, it generates TWO Folder in the Site's 'data\uploads' folder with the required permissions,

-- DATA : The Logs of Downloads, Hacking and Leech attempts are saved here
-- xjo056 (Naam mein kya rakha hai!) : This folder contains your files to be Downloaded.

Reason for chosing the UPLOAD folder is that you can access it from FILES tab in ADMIN Panel. The Plugin works on FILENAME, so you need to use the proper Filenames in your Page Code. Upload your files in 'xjo056' folder

Plugin provides 3 Tags you can use for :

{downloadlink_[yourfile]} - Provides the link to Download. You can post the link like this also 'plugins/downloads/download.php?[yourfile]'

{filesize_[yourfile]} - Gives the File Size of the file specified.

{filecount_[yourfile]} - gives the Number of Times the file was downloaded



Example Usage

<a href="{downloadlink_[yourfile]}" > Download [yourfile] </a><br />
<b>File Size: </b>{filesize_[Yourfilename]} <br />
<b>Download Count: </b>{filecount_[Yourfilename]}

Useful plugin, but I totally don't understand syntax of the tags
ok, is possible to make an example with a real url? let's go...

In my website http://thelighthour.com I would like to make a download link using this plugin to a file called "foo.zip", and I like show the file size and counter under the link.

I activated the plugin and uploaded file in folder http://thelighthour.com/data/uploads/xjo056/foo.zip.
Now, which the correct code, using the domain name and file name above?

Thank you very much!

Ok..
thanks for appreciating the usage, while I is working for me, but I think other will have tweak their way out configuring the plugin files.. and they should share the patches..

While you asked about using this in your pages..
If you want to print the path to the file download then you should put ->
{downloadlink_[yourfile]}
where [youfile] = the name of your file that resides in xjo056 folder..

Taking your example, for printing the link to this file 'foo.zip' located at http://thelighthour.com/data/uploads/xjo056/foo.zip

you will print the path to this file like this

{downloadlink_foo} -> gives the Link to your Download
{filecount_foo} -> Give the number of times the file was downloaded
