Topic: SOLVED: Using File Name and Remote File will not work

[Blaubaer]

Hello,

I am having a problem with remote files and the download url.

Wordpress Version: 2.8.5
Theme Name: Default Theme
Blog URL: localhost (XAMPP test environment)
Problem Plugin: WP-DownloadManager 1.5
PHP Version: 5.3.0
MySQL Version: 5.1.37
Possible Conflicting Plugins: no other plugins installed
Permalink Structure: http://localhost/wordpress/2009/11/sample-post/

I want to add a remote file to my download page, but this won't work while options are set to "Download Nice Permalink: Yes" and "Use File Name Or File ID In Download URL?: File Name"

The generated link on the download page is: http://localhost/wordpress/download/ttp://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/deu/AdbeRdr920_de_DE.exe and will cause an "Invalid File ID or File Name" Error.

The file url is for testing purposes, the problem occurs on every remote file. http://localhost/wordpress/download/ is the beginning an then the "h" form the original file url is missing, followed by the rest of the url.
Because of my limited english knowlegdes, see screenshot attached, maybe you will better know what the problem is...

Changing the options to use File ID instead will work, but I really want to use the file name.

Any idea?

Thanks for the bug report. I will fix it.

In the mean time,

Open up wp-downloadmanager.php:

Find on line 198:

Code: [Select]

$file = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT file_id, file, file_permission FROM $wpdb->downloads WHERE file = \"/$dl_name\" AND file_permission != -2");Replace:

Code: [Select]

if(!is_remote_file($dl_name)) {
$dl_name = '/'.$dl_name;
}
 $file = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT file_id, file, file_permission FROM $wpdb->downloads WHERE file = \"$dl_name\" AND file_permission != -2");
Find on line 386:

Code: [Select]

$file_name = substr(stripslashes($file_name), 1);Replace:

Code: [Select]

$file_name = stripslashes($file_name);
if(!is_remote_file($file_name)) {
$file_name = substr($file_name, 1);
}It should work

Damn what fast, thanks a lot 

Is there any way to change the url http://localhost/wordpress/download/http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/deu/AdbeRdr920_de_DE.exe to http://localhost/wordpress/download/AdbeRdr920_de_DE.exe or use the file name instead?

I don't want the visitors showing the original source

Sorry that is not possible that was my initial plan but after thinking of it, it is not possible.

[Blaubaer]

O.K. and what about using the given file name?

[GaMerZ]

No. This is the only way out at the moment. If I happen to think of something, it will be in the next update.

Great, thank you for your fast support!
