[DownloadLink] New Module

Now in the community repository, see the "add more plugins" page.

Note: this module was called download, but on uploading it to the repository I see that there already exists a download module, that does something similar although without the links and permissions (I don't think it ever got to the stage of being automatically installable) so I've renamed this one downloadlink. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you're using it under its previous name you should probably uninstall that, delete it, and then install this one.

I've updated the download module I created for someone, added permissions and some other misc stuff (downloads are now of the preferred derivative rather than the original). A few people might find it useful.

What it does is add a set of "Download Photo" links under each picture - you can set permissions to show the link for originals, resizes (both on by default) and thumbnails (off by default).

If you installed the previous version please *uninstall* that before copying this over and installing - or else you won't see the new permissions.

If it gets a thumbs up from one or two people I'll put it in the repository.

But you won't have to answer the flood of "I've installed this module and I can't see any download links! Why doesn't it work?" questions from people who are too lazy or ignorant to read the module description and read that there are permissions to be set.

Post Removed...

The links display alongside all the other ItemActions, in both album and photo pages. The exact location depends on your theme. For the Matrix (default) theme, this is a typical display on a photo page (see attachment.)

This module isn't compatible with Gallery 2.3. I've an updated version which I'll put into the repository when 2.3 is formally released.

Of course! you can do anything you like in Gallery....

The best way I think would be to add a callback to the module to check the permission, then you can make display of the link conditional on that permission with smarty {if} {/if} tags.

Yes, the module reuses code from the core.DownloadItem view, which was considerably refactored for 2.3 in a way that breaks downloadlink.

Looks like 2.3 is now available. When my users try to download, the get

Security Violation: The action you attempted is not permitted.

Even I get it with every access right possible. I am hoping your updates will fix it!

Hi there. Awesome. I'm, going to have have a go with this module.

On my Pure Anime Gallery I was using a bit of code to generate a download link below the image, in photo.tpl

In fact I was using:

{* Download link for item in original format *}

<div class="gbBlock">
{$theme.item.title|default:$theme.item.pathComponent|markup:strip}
{g->text text=" : Right click and save link as to "}
<a href="{g->url arg1="view=core.DownloadItem" arg2="itemId=`$theme.item.id`"}">
{g->text text="Download this picture in original format" arg1=$theme.sourceImage.itemTypeName.1}
</a>
</div>

which is probably a bit of a frig, but works. Not very elegant because there's nothing to set it on or off individual albums. I'm going to have a go with yours and see if I can get some more control and cooler results.

It's in the community repository. Make sure this option is ticked before you update your plugins list.

well, there it is... I don't know what else to say except look again.

Hi There

Would someone be so kind to supply a direct link to download this plugin as my gallery sits behind a corporate proxy server?

Thanks for your quick reply! Good plugin by the way

Edit the file module.inc - look for something like "Download %s".

You can check the old files out of the Subversion repository on Sourceforge, here:
http://gallery-contrib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gallery-contrib/trunk/gallery2/modules/downloadlink/
There are only three files so it shouldn't take long. You want revision 1379 for the version without the G2.3 changes.

I'm afraid I don't have a zipped version of old code.

I don't really understand what you want to do - but in general the G2 permissions system is configurable so that each album and item can have different permissions, so - probably.

- Put 1379 in the box for revision number.

If the user/guest doesn't have the relevant [downloadlink] permission then the download link doesn't appear in the menu.

hey i had to change the Theme customisation link

from

    <a href="{g->url arg1="view=downloadlink.OfferDownload" arg2="itemId=`$theme.item.id`"}">    Download and save full image</a>

to

<a href="{g->url arg1="view=downloadlink.OfferDownload" arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}"> Download and save full image</a>

therefore i can click link to download original

That's correct. All the itemAction links are listed alphabetically, not alphanumerically, I think. Not sure where you'll change that. It's not in the downloadlink module, you may have to hack around in your templates to re-sort the array of itemAction links. Good luck.

I don't think you can set the order the links are displayed in that bit of code.

I think *all* the links under the item are sorted independently, before they are displayed. If you want to test that, try inserting

asort($potentialImages);

before the 'foreach' loop. If that makes a difference to the order the links are displayed then you can fix the order they're displayed in there. (Post back, and I'll see if I can work out how, for you). If it doesn't make a difference, then I think you'll have to modify code elsewhere.

I think we disagree on the meaning of alphabetical vs. alphanumeric. Regardless, it doesn't sort the way you want.

(EDITED to change sort to asort - the indexation is important.)

I don't think that would suit most people.

How about this: see the part

What happens if you use a different format string other than %s - maybe something that will pad the number out with spaces at the front then you'd get "<space>150" and "1600" for instance, and they'd sort in the right order. I think you do that by changing %s to %4d, for example. Try it.

is there a way to get it so that you can specify individual names

such as instead of Download Photo (100 x 75) and Download Photo (3648 x 2736)

you can have Download Thumbnail and Download Original

from the information gathered above i can changed the text displayed, which then changes the entire lot.

what id be looking for would be something conditional.

any help on recreating the script would be great, i cant make heads or tails on whats there at the moment
