Request An idea for your plugin

    Hi again :),

    I’ve got some needs to be done and perhaps these needs / idea can be a new feature for your plugin.

    Currently, i need to create a page on my WordPress with a password.
    This page will give access on some files (with download monitor plugin ;)) for somes users.

    But, the problem is here :
    -> This users are not developpers, contributors, editors in our wordpress website or anything : just some Internet users who will have the password of this specific page !
    -> I don’t want to set a password on these files with download monitor, because users will need to write two passwords : one for the page and one for the download file => It’s not a good experience !
    -> I don’t want all users to have access to these downloads by doing the “ancestral technique” of bruteforce. (http://mywebsite/download/1 => Not my file go next -> http://mywebsite/download/2 …)

    So my need is here :
    Would it be difficult to make a download valid only if the download comes from one or more pages/post/custom post type of the site?

    How do I imagine it :
    Just bellow “Member only” i will propose a radio button to an option call : “Available only from specific(s) page(s)”
    And if a administrator choose these option, you will display a select multiple field who he can set the page/post/custom_post_type where the download available only.

    Do you think it’s possible ?
    I can try to write the code myself to do that but it will be difficult for me to see all impacts of this feature on your code…

    If you have other idea or option to achieve my need : don’t hesitate to tell me how to proceed.

    Regards.

    Hello Pfsm999,

    This is not possible in our plugin and will either require modifying our plugin (which we do not recommend) or create a new custom plugin to add these features to our plugin. Since this is custom work which is beyond the scope of our support, I would suggest contacting 3rd party developers to assist you.

    Thanks Harish for your answer 🙂

    Do you think, we cannot propose that for a new feature to do that ?
    Or this feature works “against the philosophy” of your plugin ?

    It’s just a proposition.
    Perhaps, i will do a custom plugin to add these feature :).

    Thanks again for your reactivity !

    Hey,

    We currently have no plans on adding this to our core plugin. This is something we might add as an extension but there’s no plans for this at this moment either.

    Kind Regards,

    Thanks Barry 🙂

    It’s okay !
    I wrote the code to do that !
    Very simple with “dlm_can_download” event 🙂

    It’s work well and it’s perfect for me :).
    Bye and thanks again for your reactivity !

    PS : If you want the code, i can send you the code by mail.
