 * I don’t know this is still the case but a few months back I realized that you
   can’t generate a clickable link with a shortcode using s2Members. The [s2File]
   displays url only.
 * I searched the old forums and found a [confirmation](http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/file-mgmtshortcodes-for-protected-files/)
   there.
 * It turns out that it is actually quite easy to mend that hole. I have written
   the following shortcode using s2File as a base:
 *     ```
       function eskeinet_s2Link_shortcode($atts,  $content = null){
           extract(shortcode_atts(
               array('download' => false,
                   'download_key' => 0),
               $atts
           ));
   
           $return_string = '';
           if(!$content){
               $content = "Download File";
           }
           if($download && $download_key){
               $return_string = '<a href="'.do_shortcode('[s2File download="'.$download.'" download_key="true" /]').'">'.$content.'</a>';
           }elseif($download){
               $return_string = '<a href="'.do_shortcode('[s2File download="'.$download.'" /]').'">'.$content.'</a>';
           }
           return $return_string;
       }
       add_shortcode('s2Link', 'eskeinet_s2Link_shortcode');
       ```
