[MOD] Alternate directory for download files.

[cardsup]

Hi Chris,

I am using your hack for the download function and it works great! Thank you!

I have a question -- I need my users to download zipped .esp files instead of the jpg files in the gallery. Since 4images does not support .esp files (as far as I know) I have the files prezipped. However, when I put those files in the 'download' folder, the script can not find them and instead the user downloads the jpg file.

Is there a way I can fix that so the user can download the zipped esp file?

Hi, Thanks for the Mod. I was looking for something like it. And its working with out any error.

I just want to change something. Actually I want to change "cat_id/download" to something Unique. Say "cat_id/a1b2c3d4"

SO will it work if I change?

Code: [Select]

// Let the user download the "<cat_id>/download/<fname>", "<cat_id>/big/<fname>", or "<cat_id>/<fname>" version of the image
$temp = get_file_path($file['file_name'], "download", $image_row['cat_id'], 0, 1);
TO something like

Code: [Select]

// Let the user download the "<cat_id>/a1b2c3d4/<fname>", "<cat_id>/big/<fname>", or "<cat_id>/<fname>" version of the image
$temp = get_file_path($file['file_name'], "a1b2c3d4", $image_row['cat_id'], 0, 1);

May be I have to do this 2/3 times. But will it work?

Its just coz I m using 4images for wallpapers. And file name r in sequence. So if someone knows Category ID, he can start downloading "Actually" files dirctly from browser"domin.com/4images/data/media/2/download/filename"

So just want to protect that so that no one can download files directly.

no, u'll need search in the new code for MEDIA_PATH and replace "download" there.
for example:

   if( file_exists(MEDIA_PATH."/".$image_row['cat_id']."/download/".$image_row['image_media_file']) )

[Fastian]

Thankx V@no. Successfully changed that.

I m going to ask something here. Not sure if its the right thread or ...

Is it possible that when users upload a file. It goes to ---> "/media/cat-id/download/file" (Actual file, would be minimum 800*600)

And a resized version can be made either by admin panel or right at the moment when file get upload.
And that goes to --->"media/cat-id/filename"

Sorry, I got it all and it works great, but what is meant by this here :

Open details.html and add something like this to use the new download information:

Code: [Select]

          <tr>
            <td>{download_image_file_size} [{download_width}x{download_height}]</td>
          </tr>

[geohei]

No answer yet on previous posting ...

Just to clarify ... the code is at the very end of posting No. 6 (by Chris).

I don't know what he means with this code box:
No answer yet on previous posting
Please have a look at the 6th posting of the following link (by Chris)
http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=7499.0

I don't get what he means with the last "code" box :

Open details.html and add something like this to use the new download information:

Code: [Select]

          <tr>
            <td>{download_image_file_size} [{download_width}x{download_height}]</td>
          </tr>

Can someone please explain ...

Many thanks!

I found where to put it. It's in the template code.

But where shall I put it?

Thanks.

Is there any way in which I can utilise the Batch Upload process to recognise the Download folder for appropriate images as I have tons of images to upload that are in several categories?

[Matthias70]

I installed this mod an on detailed.html there is the correct filesize there is a big image in the big folder
but when I click on Download or Zip-Download still only the small resized image is downloaded 

Do you have any suggestions?

Hi all!

I have the same prob than Matias... Everything seems to be ok but download and download ZIP contains the smaller version from details page... The most interestin thing is that on detail page, near download button it shows correct info about FileSize (big one), but incorect ImageResolution (detai one). Big photos are in "big" folder...

Any ideas how to correct it? You can see it on http://www.galeria.bartes.pl/

Thanks for advice...

[Matthias70]

Hi bartes,
I found a solution, but I really remember all my changes

I think I've changed some pathes in the code for the big folder.
There is also a path /download/ before the path /big/ (don't know for what the /download/ path is?)

I think I've just changed the /dowload/ path to /big/ and everything was O.K.

Hello,
Two small addons to:

1) WHEN A NEW CATEGORY IS CREATED, CREATE ITS DOWNLOAD DIR
In:
admin/categories.php
   
Locate:

Code: [Select]

create_cat_folder(MEDIA_PATH."/".$cat_id, CHMOD_DIRS);   
Add after:

Code: [Select]

create_cat_folder(MEDIA_PATH."/".$cat_id."/download", CHMOD_DIRS);   

2) DOWNLOAD BIG VERSION OF IMAGE FROM LIGHTBOX:
   
In:
/download.php
   
Locate:

Code: [Select]

$file_path = MEDIA_PATH."/".$image_row['cat_id']."/".$image_row['image_media_file'];
$file_name = $image_row['image_media_file'];   
Replace by:

Code: [Select]

$file_name = $image_row['image_media_file'];
$temp = MEDIA_PATH."/".$image_row['cat_id']."/download/".$file_name;
if( !file_exists($temp) )
$temp = MEDIA_PATH."/".$image_row['cat_id']."/".$file_name;
$file_path = $temp;
//$file_path = MEDIA_PATH."/".$image_row['cat_id']."/".$image_row['image_media_file'];
//$file_name = $image_row['image_media_file'];   
NOTE: For those who installed the MOD "Whole/part category download" (http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=3479.0): You'll find the previous code twice. So replace it in both places and you will get the big version of image when you download the whole lightbox and also when you download the whole category.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

I have just added this mod. It works great! I have one request. Some of my larger files are images, while others that are going to be in the download folder with the larger images are going to be zip files. Is there a way for it just to look for the first part of the name or any other way for it to look for images and files? I need it to be able to download images and zips.

Thanks to everyone.

2) DOWNLOAD BIG VERSION OF IMAGE FROM LIGHTBOX:
...

Hmmm ... where can you download a file inside the Lightbox? When I display the Lightbox, I get the thumbs. Clicking on a thumb pops up the the detail page, which offers the download feature. However the Lightbox does not directly offer a download :

Where's the misunderstanding ... :

Thanks,
