Access a file in a secured resource bucket with perch_member_secure_download(). See Secure Downloads.

Requires

Parameters

Type Description
String Name of the file
String Name of the bucket the file is in
Boolean Set to true just to link to the file rather than force a download

Usage examples

Download report.pdf from the bucket my-bucket. By default, this forces the download of the file (or prompts a Save As box, depending on the browser’s configuration).

perch_members_secure_download('report.pdf', 'my-bucket');

If you wish to just link to the file (e.g for a PDF you’d like to give the browser the opportunity to display if possible) you can set the third argument to false:

perch_members_secure_download('report.pdf', 'my-bucket', false);
