Hi Ralf,

I would do this by passing the internal position of the file in the array, e.g.

foreach ($pdffiles as $i => $pf) {
    $content .= "<a href='{$page->url}?fid={$i}' title='{$pf->name}'>$pf->name</a>  ($pf->filesizeStr)<br />";
}

Then you can grab the file with this ID:

if ($input->get->fid) {
  $file = $page->file->eq((int) $input->get->fid);
  if ($file) {
    $file->download();
  }
}

Cheers

Hi there, 

I have been trying for days, but unfortunately without any good results.. 

Within my website users log in, and each user has personal files he/she can download. Everything works perfectly thanks to the module, however I cannot wrap my head around the following: 

- On the 'overview' page, the user can see an overview of their files after they logged in. Lets call this page 'overview.php.' 
- On the 'download' page, the module's API is called.

overview.php:

// files are placed in a repeaterfield that contains the 'securefile' and a 'title' field. 

<?php foreach ($user->fileRepeater as $id => $f): ?>

	<a href="/download?id=<?= $id ?>"> Download button </a>
	
<?php endforeach ?>

download.php:

<?php
    secureFile = $user->fileRepeater->eq($input->get->id)->file;
    $secureFile->isDownloadable();
    $secureFile->download(); 
?>

Unfortunately, this does not work for me. The page URL does not pass the $id query parameter, it simply redirects to '/download.'

If anyone has any ideas.. I am very much open to it! 

(edit)

Solution:

Some problems have simple solutions.. download.php wasn't working due to the URL ending incorrectly.. 

As I wanted to pass as specific ID through $input->get->id, it simply didn't pass the id because the URL ended with a slash.. Solved it by going to the template in question within PW > URLs > Should page URLs end with a slash > No

U need absolute/relative filepath but not url. Ex: /var/www/secure/ or c:\www\secure or something like ./../secure if U use windows local server and linux production server

Thanks for your reply, K07n! I have another question, if I may...

I simply inserted . as path, which creates a permission-restricted path in my httpdocs. However, I would like to redirect its location to the relative path: ./../secured-files-dir 

Unfortunately whenever I insert anything except . as path, I still get the same error:

 ProcessWire: ProcessUser: Secure File: Path '/' does not exist or is not writeable

I was not able to make this work on due to the following issue: 

 ProcessWire: ProcessUser: Secure File: Path '/' does not exist or is not writeable

I have tried multiple directories and approaches to change permissions, but PW could simply not find the path I specified with pwd. I am running the local server on Processwire 3.0.148.

Any suggestions?

In my case, sessions were not handled correctly. 

In order to fix it:

1. I installed the core module Session Handler Database (SessionHandlerDB) locally,
2. Create a mysqldump of my local database 
3. Imported the mysqldump to my online environment 
4. Voila!
