FAQ
How do I track downloads?
Download counts are automatically recorded for each file. If you want to additionally track user interactions and dates, you will need to enable it. Navigate to Files > Settings, and select the "Enable User Tracking" option. Doing so will create a new table in your database where each download is logged. "Downloads" and "Report" pages will appear under Files in the admin menu where you can see your collected data.
Are there hooks available for Developers?
Yes, there are plenty. The following hooks are available:
erifl_download_file_url ( String $url, Array $file, Integer $user_id, String $user_ip ) — Filter the URL for the file when a user is downloading it. $file contains the file data, $user_id is the ID of the user if they are logged in, and $user_ip is the IP address of the user if they are logged out.
erifl_after_file_downloaded ( Array $file, String $url, Integer $user_id, String $user_ip ) — Action fired after a file has been downloaded. $file contains the file data, $url is the download URL, $user_id is the ID of the user, and $user_ip is the IP address of the user.
erifl_user_meets_requirements ( Boolean $meets_requirements, Integer $file_id, Integer $user_id, Array $required_roles, String $required_meta_key ) — Filter whether the user meets the requirements for accessing the file. This filter allows modifying the result of the access check based on the user’s roles, meta key values, and any additional custom logic.
