Use files on Tradebit using S2member links

I’m trying to avoid uploading files to Tradebit that are already uploaded, and protected, on my own server.
Is there a way that I can use my s2Member uploaded files that are on my server, on Tradebit, to avoid uploading doubles? Can I use s2Member security enabled files away from my server?

Rather than upload my files onto two servers, I would prefer give Tradebit external URL’s that will allow purchases to be downloaded regardless of where the files are stored?

I would really appreciate some help. Thanks

Hi Blake,

Yes, you can generate URLs to your s2Member-protected files that contain a File Download Key, thereby allowing access to those files without logging into your site:

A File Download `Key` is passed through this parameter; it tells s2Member to allow the download of this particular file, regardless of Membership Level; and WITHOUT checking any Basic Restrictions, that you may or may not have configured above.

Please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› Advanced Download Restrictions for more information.

Yes, just as the video tutorial explained..
I am having troubles understanding how to place the link.. Does the ‘Key’ need to be anchored within a document, or is the ‘Key’ okay with being placed anyplace?

I tried to paste a ‘Key’ in my browser address bar but I was given this error–> “503 ( Invalid Key ): Sorry, your access to this file has expired. Please contact Support for assistance.”

Here is what I pasted:

http://skullofskill.com/yousopoor-store/?s2member_file_download=m3mb3r5h1p5/3a5y.d3al/3b00k5/BoozeBasher.zip&s2member_file_download_key=<?php echo s2member_file_download_key("m3mb3r5h1p5/3a5y.d3al/3b00k5/BoozeBasher.zip"); ?>

“m3mb3r5h1p5/3a5y.d3al/3b00k5/BoozeBasher.zip” <–Product location as seen in security enabled directory..

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help Raam. Your knowledge is much appreciated..

Hi Blake.

That’s PHP, so it won’t work in your address bar. You’d have that in your WP page/post and it’d generate a new key each time the page is loaded. For PHP to work in your page you need to install a PHP execution plugin, e.g. PHP Exec.

Or you can use the shortcode to output the download key, or the full URL to the file including the key. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› Advanced Download Restrictions[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Raam, & Cristián .. Thank You

I am no longer confused..
Being confused can be quite rewarding once it has been replaced with understanding..
Learning Is Earning

That’s right. :)
