I'm currently developing custom modules and I use the private download method to restrict access to uploaded files to authenticated users only. However, the custom node only shows placeholders for the images, not the actual images. Am I missing something? Directory permissions of the File System Path are set to Thus, the Drupal db does officially not know about these files, but I assumed that that shouldn't matter, right? Works perfectly fine now, all images displayed! Thanks again for the doc!
I am sorry I came in late to see your question. I am glad you figured it out. Something addressing the technique of embedding inline thumbnails with a mouse-over or one-click display of a pop-up full-size version, and how to protect both thumbnail and full sized image would be useful. If you know of specific references to info on stuff like this, it'd enhance your PDF if you had maybe a references bit at the end.
You recommend placing the files subdirectory outside the "document root" in Apache-speak so that there's no way to submit a URL directly accessing the files, even if you could guess the name and file path.
That's pretty secure. So, while not quite as good as what you recommend as the only good way to do it, I used the technique used by MediaWiki's image-protection mechanism. Barring mistakes or someone with access to your Linux account it's going to be pretty hard for a browser to get access.
I can see the link to the ebook pdf in your article, and I am logged into the site, but the link is not clickable, so I can't download it Under the non-clickable link, I am seeing the text "One file is attached to this posting.
You need a premium account to download files and view premium content. The change was effective a few weeks ago. I will send further instructions to your email address.

Was going mad setting this up for a client.
OK, so I've used your ebook very nice thank you to make sure users are logged in before downloading content from my teachers' resources sharing site. The problem is, people login and then download everything - rather than just the stuff they need.
This eats bandwidth and thus costs money! Any ideas about restricting the number of downloads a users can make, say within an hour or day. Unless you have any other ideas about tackling the problem.
You need to keep a record of who downloaded what, and save that to your Drupal database. There must be a Drupal module that restricts number of downloads per period of time. If you can't find such module , then you'll need to write your own. I paid via paypal for your book and upon download I got a "something went wrong, we have been informed" page. I am using this service here , and it only works half of the time.
Hi there, I have bought your ebook and have used it with Drupal 6. Any pointers getting file download tables, downloads shown in teasers and 'warning - must be logged in to download' messages on Drupal 7? Drupal 7 has now been out for a while and I wonder if your ebook will be useful here, too, if not, I won't bother checking it out. It would be great to have file downloads in drupal 7 as described above, but I think that all those additional modules are just not yet up to the version Am I right?
Am I wrong? It's a great ebook, especially for those who have a keen interest in Drupal and want to explore it in greater depths. Request new password. Inspire project view all inspire cards about the inspire project.
