Image served from s3/cf integration success!

Hi guys,

I managed to finally configure s2 member with cf/s3 and I just need some help with something else. Within my protected ( members area) of my website how do insert images from my s3 bucket? Any file that I put into my bucket that is s3/cf configured with s2 won’t show on my website. I get this message.

Now I know this is a good thing because it blocks public from viewing the image. Basically I have a couple of images that I need to insert into my page on my members area but everytime I proceed to create the url

eg. cdnurl/directory/filename.jpg it does not work.

I have setup CDN b4 manually for one of my other websites but that is all public so there are no issues.

In a nutshell how do I insert images into my members area from the amazon bucket that is protected by s2 auto-integration?

If you need to show the image to a user that doesn’t have access to it because it’s protected, you’ll need to add a download key to the URL. Please see: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› Advanced Download Restrictions[/hilite]

Or you can make a copy of the file you need to show publicly, and put it in another bucket that isn’t protected by s2Member.

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Cristian

Thanks for the reply.

I basically need my protected images to be served as inline pictures. I don’t have any idea on how to do this. I’m just so use to uploading media VIA wordpress then inserting it into the page. What is the procedure for inserting cloudfront images into my pages with s2

Ah, I see. Well, you will need to learn one HTML tag, the one for images.

Here’s a very basic example:

<img src="[[s2File download="your-protected-image.jpg" /]]" />

Here’s more information on the img tag: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

Thanks mate :)

No problem. :)

what if the file is in a sub directory inside my protected bucket?

Also when I use the code provided the image does not show up.

Try adding it before the file’s name:

<img src="[[s2File download="bucket-sub-dir/your-protected-image.jpg" /]]" />

Also when I use the code provided the image does not show up.

Maybe because it was in the subdir and you had not included it in the shortcode?

If you just use the shortcode, do you get a URL to the file? And if you open it in a browser window, does it open the file?

Hi there. I tried both in regards to image not showing up. I do get a URL to the file and it does open the file up. Is this a good sign?

It seems to be only when try inline it.

* When I try to insert the image with HTML code the problem occurs.

Could anyone help me on this?
