Allow user to download orginal video

[admin]

To allow user to download orginal video, add following code to templates/view_video.tpl

[img]{$baseurl}/templates/images/download.jpg[/img]

Put the code any where after the line

{insert name=video_info assign=vinfo vid=$VID}

You need to upload an image download.jpg to "templates/images" folder.

This will work only on latest vshare release with "video import feature", if you don't have this, you need to upgrade.

is it possible for the orginal video to keep its filename? so if i uploaded test.mpg it would stay as test.mpg when the user downloads it rather than being changed to 1.mpg

i guess the filename would have to be saved into the database for this to work with a work around for duplicate filenames.

admin any chance of this being done?

also is anyone currently using this feature? post your link so i can see.

The problem I see is if someone in he future tries to upload another file with the same name. How would the script handle it? One would need a name change.

guess a simple way would be for the script to just to add a 2 to the end of the filename, then if someone uploads a 3rd duplicate named file a 3...etc

How would you allow downloads of the original file in the latest version? There is no video_video file and even the line mentionned is not there..

This mod will work with latest version.

There is no such file "video_video" in vshare. Where you found that file name ?

The admin post at the begining of this post. So I add these 2 lines in the view_video.tpl I assume?

Ok, I managed... good stuff..Is there are way to cloak the actual location of the file? I`m just curious

[admin]

You need to edit the file - templates/video_video.tpl

Once again..

There is no video_video.tpl, but the view_video.tpl

You need to hide direct link ? This can be done with PHP script handling downloads, it will add extra server load if we hanlde download with PHP script. Let me know if this is what you are asking ?
