Sermon Download Does Not Download But Only Plays

[Gee Hill]

The download link only plays the sermon and does not download. I do not want for people to have to figure out to right click the link to "save as". Is there a fix for this as it is not a "download" link but a "play" link below the audio player which is redundant and not intuitive but confusing. I have many people tell me that the "download" link "does not work".

Can you help me?

Let me start by saying that I am a complete novice. I have only this one website under my belt. Quite a steep learning curve.

I took this up this issue with Allen a couple of weeks ago. I came across some code creating a new php that sits in the same folder as the MP3's (http://youngdigitalgroup.com.au/tutorial-force-download-mp3-file-streaming/) Direct_download.php

<?php $file = $_GET['file']; header ("Content-type: octet/stream"); header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";"); header ("Content-Length: ".filesize($file)); readfile($file); exit; ?>

This works fine when writing my own post, however, I have a problem when changing the theme function.php from: if ( edwards_get_meta('sermon_audio') ) { echo '<li class="download"><a href="' . edwards_get_meta('sermon_audio') . '" class="sermon-button"><i class="icon-download"></i><span> Download MP3</span></a></li>'; } To if ( edwards_get_meta('sermon_audio') ) { echo '<li class="download"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/sermons/direct_download.php?file=I need the filename here '" class="sermon-button"><i class="icon-download"></i><span> Download MP3</span></a></li>'; }

The result I get is: http://www.swbc.co.za/sermons/an-empty-tomb-2/.../wp-content/uploads/sermons/direct_download.php?file=http://../wp-content/uploads/sermons 2015_04_05_sermon_348.mp3 instead of http://www.swbc.co.za/../wp-content/uploads/sermons/direct_download.php?file=http://../wp-content/uploads/sermons /2015_04_05_sermon_348.mp3

If I change the address bar to the latter, it takes me to the save file dialog box.

Looking forward to hearing from the developers

Try in 'template-tags', changing the wpfc_sermon_single function...

Add... download="'.wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID).'">

This will create a forced download. Although upon updating sermon manager this will be lost.

Can this not be added to the core?

[Rocky Swartz]

As mentioned I am still a novice with php

I have looked at the template-tags.php file - function wpfc_sermon_single()

Where do I place the download="'.wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID).'">. I keep getting a php load error

Is there any news from the developers on John's question to add this to the core function php

Resolved in 2.0

[Rocky Swartz]

That is great news. Thank you! When you say resolved in 2.0 I assume you mean there is an updated version. The WPforChurch website still has Sermon Manager 1.9 as its latest. Am I missing something?

[James Hammack]

Nope, not missing a beat. 2.0 is on it's way shortly!

[Rocky Swartz]

Thanks. Any other surprises we can look forward to?

[Rocky Swartz]

Hi James

I see the new version is out. I upgraded, but somehow it broke my sermons page layout.

I have compared the previous version with the latest and WOW, it is a complete re-vamp, so not sure where to start.

I have reverted back to the old version, which is a pity.

I you can look at www.swbc.co.za http://www.swbc.co.za . Under meu item “Resources” you will find “Sermon Archive”. Is it possible to maintain this look with the new version.

I am running a Child Theme under the Edwards theme and all of the sermon manager CSS has been transferred to style.css

By the way, not sure where to post new issue items. Can’t find it on the wpchurch website.

Thanks

Rocky Swartz
