Phoca Forum

Hi, i have several files stored at external server. How can i redirect user to use phocadownload link instead of direct link?
I see that if a user go to category / file list, phocadownload actually displaying indirect link and that is what i want.

so, here's the example on my website (http://www.sthetix.net)

on my article http://www.sthetix.net/tutorial/xbox-36 ... 5-jtag-rgh, i have a link to file at bottom, it will point directly to mediafire.
but if you go to http://www.sthetix.net/category/31-game-update, and click http://www.sthetix.net/category/31-game ... wnload=293, it will display an indirect link of that file.

how can i make all links indirect, even for files on external server?

thanks

Hi, how it works in Phoca Download:

- when you create a direct link to external server, Phoca Download does not have any right to somehow protect the file as it is fully managed on external server
- when you create not direct link to external server, first Phoca Download checks the rights and then the user will be redirected to external server (but be aware this does not mean, the external server is protected - any server cannot protect external server)

But this is only valid for the component.

In article, there are is no such option possible as article is not a part of Phoca Download and Phoca Download cannot manage anything inside article, so this is why the protecting of the link is working only in component (see similar posts which describe this)
