Yes, but if you want restrict people from downloading the file you can’t share the file to people IMO.
I’d like to share the existence of the the file(s) with others to build traffic to the site, but they will have to register / login to download.
O OK I see what you mean the share in your plugin doesn’t share the file(s)existence it shares the actual file. Sorry, hadn’t tried the “Share Button” thought it shared the site & page location of the file it shares the actual url to the file.
Hi lwpaaterson,
After some thought I think I agree with your position, the file should not be the item that should be shared socially. What should be shared is the download page of each file.
I will change is functionality on the next update.
I thank you for your recent update, however I’ve found a few errors. First, it looks like you have php code bleed through, this string(31) "/e-library/?w3tc_note=flush_all", it’s showing directly under the Category Tabs both in the Admin Section & on the Page. Secondly, the font for “View More Versions” in IE looks like H1 not the smaller font size like in Chrome or Firefox. Next, the file title link goes to ‘NOT FOUND’, the same is true for the link displayed from the Share button. Lastly, under the “Show Social Apps” it only shows a Share, Tweet, & G+1, but not Facebook. I have tried this with & without the Permalinks.
Shoot that version wasn’t suppose to see the light of day yet, I was committing changes to dev and must have changed the version number by accident. Anyway version 1.4.1 is a rolled backed version everything should work as before.
