How to Link download to remote file hosting site?

[haider512]

HI..
i want to use mediafire or megaupload or anyother filehosting site use its url link for download..

I dont want to host big files on my server..As it will consume alot of bandwith of my server..

Ppt , .doc and other files are ok to upload on my server..
but pdf files are very huge to upload on my server..
and when many users will download files..it will consume alot of my server bandwith..

so please tell me there is a mod or any trick in 4images to link the download button or file to respected download url of any filehosting site..

Mediafire , ifile.it etc..any filehosting..

edit an image and enter your download url into "Download URL" field

koool..but i also want that link feild to be appear for the users too..how can i do that??

i mean users should not upload the files directly ..they should put the mediafire links there instead.

so when another user click the download button..he/she redirects to mediafire.??

Hi,

take a look at member upload form, there is the field they can choose between
uploading a file or putting a link.

add something like this in member_upload_form.html template:

Code: (HTML) [Select]

<input name="image_download_url" value="{image_download_url}">

I don't recall any mods for the thumbnails. Yes, would be better if you open a new topic in requests section.
