Get a direct link instead of the Phoca controlled link

[Ballerup-ok]

Hi
I can see that you can set different parameters via the download button plugin, but i would like to make a direct link to the file in some cases.
Is it possible? I do understand that it sets out the access control but still it would be a nice parameter in the plugin.

Hi, no for now there is no such option for the plugin, so this needs to be customized directly in the code

Well ok. I am a bit new to joomla but do code php. Can you give a hint to which file to change and maybe the function call to retrieve the file location from the id.
Thanks
Kind regards

There is only one file in the plugin:
plugins\content\phocadownload\phocadownload.php, see $link variable

You can try to set "direct link" in file edit in administration of Phoca Download, then the link goes direct to the file, even with plugin.

Hi, thanks, I cant find this Direct link setting, in either the Global Configuration -> Phoca Download, or in the Component->Phoca Download settings/control panel - I have seen som other users refering to this but didnt find it.
I did read the plugin php code and did see the $link variable, i do understand it as the link to the download function and not the direct link, but I havent yet experimentet with it - so it could be correct:-)

Hi, it is set in File edit in administration - in each file, you can set that the link will be direct.

Well I did mean to get the direct URL of the file and the Direct link option only opens the file instead of download it.
I have made some code in the plugins\content\phocadownload\phocadownload.php. You can just remove the <p> tags in the code to get only the URL, should maybe have been coded regardless of the Mime setting:-)
The $item->filename includes the sub path to the file so its only the base url of the phoca download folder you need to hard code.

Code: Select all

										if ($iMime == 1) {
//MMO*
if ($view == 'x') {
	
$output .='<p> http://www.***insert the hardcoded url to the phoca download folder here***/'.$item->filename.'</p>';
		}
else {
	

	
									
//MMO end
											$output .= '<div class="pd-filename phocadownloadfile phoca-dl-file-box-mod">'.  $imageFileName['filenamethumb']. '<div class="pd-document'.(int)$iSize.'" '. $imageFileName['filenamestyle'].'><a href="'. JRoute::_($link).'" '. $targetOutput.'>'. $textOutput.'</a></div></div>';
//MMO*
										}
//MMO end										
										} else {

											$output .= '<p>test2:'.$link.'</p>'.'<div class="phocadownloadfile'.(int)$iSize.'"><a href="'. JRoute::_($link).'" '.$targetOutput.'>'. $textOutput.'</a></div>';

										}
