Download Link BBCode

Post by LDM »

This BBCode is for embedding a download link in your post in a much smarter way. For an example of this is action, see the download link in this post http://www.modphpbb3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=317

I will also attach a selection of Download images that you can use. You will need to select your image and rename it to download.png and add it to your forum image directory I.E. forum root/images.

BBCode:

Code: Select all

[downlink]{URL}[/downlink]
HTML:

Code: Select all

<table>
<tr>
<td title="Download Here !!" onclick="window.location.href='{URL}'" style="cursor:pointer;"><img src="images/download.png" alt="" /></td>
<td title="Download Here !!" onclick="window.location.href='{URL}'" style="cursor:pointer;"><span onmouseover="this.style.color ='#FF0000';" style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial;" onmouseout="this.style.color='#000000';"><b>&nbsp;Download Here !!</b></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
Helpline:

Code: Select all

Downlink: [downlink]URL[/downlink]
Once you have added the image to the folder, you can embed a download link, by adding the URL in between the tags.

Example:

Code: Select all

[downlink]http://www.modphpbb3.com/forum/download-example.zip[/downlink]
Find attached an image to use, rename it as download.png and upload it to the mentioned subdirectory:
download_icons.zip

I like this download link bbcode, was wondering if you can make this work for .avi files in Internet Explorer?
I have been looking for something like this for a while. Everytime I try to left click on a file.avi it will open Windows media Player and that's not what I want. Please Help.

What do you want it to do, download to the computer? Maybe zip or rar it beforehand?

Well, I have a divx web player that plays the same file, so I would like to allow the members to play the file with divx web player or download it. Don't want to compress to .zip or .rar .
Can you help? Thanks

Spoiler: show
<?php

// force to download a file
$file = "http://localhost/test/".$_GET['file']."";

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));

header( "Content-Description: File Transfer");
@readfile($file);

?>

i don't know if you can make that into a bbcode, you need html and java to make a bbcode, don't know if you can do it with php! :thumbsup: What do you think LDM?

If it is a divx file they are downloading, won't their player prompt them to download the codec anyway?

It is not a Divx file, it is a .avi file. Everytime they try to click the file to download it opens up their media player instead. :scratch:
