Quick file link

[fmeneuhe]

Hi,
I would like to suggest next request:
In the admin Control Panel, in the File section, would be very useful to copy a direct link to the file, so I can make my own links in HTML by example, to directly download the file.
Thanks

Hi, maybe the unique download link can fit your needs:

How do I get this unique download link?

[Jan]

You can see this link in edit of a file in administration (top right).

Ok I found it. I generated the token. I found the unique download link, but when I copy the link and paste on the browser I get an "404 Page Not Found".
Is this a Phoca Download bug?

[fmeneuhe]

I guess there is a bug, in the Unique Download Link generated, there are two slashes "//" like this "...//index.php...", if I remove one slash the download file page is shown, but when I click on the "Download" button I get and "Invalid token".

Hi, the link should be created by your SEF settings, I will take a look at it. But there is no token to check whe you link to a file :idea. So, try to clear your browser cache and try to copy the link again (without the //). Do you still get the token problem? Can you paste a screenshot?

I cleared the cache, I removed the extra slash "/" and here you have the screenshots of the process (still an invalid token):

Hmmm, what if you disable SEF on your site (for test only), copy the URL without SEF format, do you get the same problem then?

I disabled SEF, the direct download link URL now changed to:
http://XXXXXXX//index.php?option=com_ph ... Itemid=743

Still with double slash. I removed the extra slash, and exactly the same problem as SEF enabled, nothing changed. I am using Joomla 3.9.3
