Download page

[afri-can]

I need to create a page that has a form to fill in, once the form is submitted the customer will be directed to a protected page to download a file (pdf or zip), the file should be protected from downloading via direct url

Does anyone know how I can do this

[jmcgin51]

protecting the download page (not the file itself, but the page the link is on) with FrontEndUsers and CustomContent should work, but I haven't tried it...

[calguy1000]

Use CustomContent, or just smart to protect the page, maybe with frontendusers.... but there are other ways with just smarty logic.

Then you'll need a .htaccess file in the directory which will only allow access to that directory from the local host

something like this should work.... but YMMV

Code: Select all

IndexIgnore  *
SetEnvIf Referer mydomain.com allowit
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from env=allowit
allow from 192.168.10.
