Use own function to define if file protected

Dear Aldo,

The attachment has a meta “is_private” which you could use somewhere in your template. Not sure if you are looking for this.

<?php if(get_post_meta($file_id, 'is_private', true) == true) && $user_id == '1'){ echo 'Allowed'; } else{ echo 'not allowed' }; ?>

With the ‘private_media_url_by_array’ filter you can retrieve the download URL by file_id or by passing the file array.

Hi Stephan

Not exactly.
When a user clicks on the link to download a file (i.e. https://domain.com/download/file/2374/) i would like to hook in before the download is returned to apply my own check.

Aldo

Dear Aldo,

Ah ok, sorry no there is no way currently.

Stephan Csorba

Any plans for that?

Hi Stepahn

I looked a bit deeper.
Is there a way to retrieve the current post ID in this hook: PWPF_handle_private_download

Thanks
Aldo

Hi Aldo,

I hope you understand that I can’t do every individual request.
If more people have the same request I can do a change to the plugin.
How many installations is the plugin installed on your side, and do you need it for every installation?

Stephan Csorba

Hi Stephan

I understand ??
It‘s just one Installation.

If I could just get the page ID from the page the the Download is called.
Maybe pass it as additional parameter in the rewrite?
Or can I grab it via get_post_meta mentioned in the beginning to get the post Id the attachment belongs to?
The rest I can figure out.

Best, Aldo

Dear Aldo,

The attachment is in the url /download/()/.

<?php $file = get_query_var('pwpf_file'); ?>

Thanks!
Wouldn’t be possible to pass the post id in the query as well?

Hi Stephan

Ok, I managed to grab the post id. Maybe there is a nicer way to do that, but it does the job.

In pwf_hooks.php
After line 157:

global $post;
$src_post_id    = $post->ID;
return $is_private == true ? get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/download/file/'.$file['ID'].'/'.$src_post_id.'/' : $file['url'];

After line 471 add:
$query_vars[] = 'pwpf_postid';

Change line 479 (before the change above) to:
add_rewrite_rule('download/file/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$','index.php?pwpf_file=$matches[1]&pwpf_postid=$matches[2]','top');
And add:
add_rewrite_tag('%pwpf_postid%','[^&]+');

Now in PWPF_handle_private_download() you can get the var: get_query_var(‘pwpf_postid’)

Best,
Aldo

Dear Aldo,

Thanks for sharing.
If other people need this, please see Aldo his solution.
