Hi,

I'm using the pay-per-download extension (eZP 4.3 on a shared host) and once the user payed his products (PDFs) the system displays a summary of the purchases.

In this summary there are links pointing to the PDFs; the form of these links is: http://mysite.fr/content/download/4877/23065

The probleme is that this link works even if one is not logged in. So it can be shared without limit.

Is there a workaround ?

content/download links should respect Exponential permissions. Have you tested those links in a separate browser or after closing and re-opening the browser? It is likely the browser cache that is letting you download the file even after logging out.

Hi Peter,

Thinks for your reply.

I'm stupid ! I gave the anonymous role the rights to read my PDFs........

Now all works as expected.
