download with password

Hello,
i have two download files, and each of them must be freed with a private password for download.

is this task with chronoforms /Security Question or a other Tools possible?

Best regards
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

I'd probably do this with a very simple form. Add a password entry box and submit button and then use a Custom ServerSide Validation action to check the password; show the file download links in a 'Thank You page' action.

Bob

Thanks Bob,
i will try your way.

maggie

:oops: Sorry,
where can i find the action: ServerSied Validation?

Maggie

What i did:

Password Box
Submit button

Events:
On Submit
Custom Server Side Validation

<?php
$ok_values = array(
  'passwort'
);
if ( !in_array($form->data['data'], $ok_values ) {
  $form->validation_errors['data'] = "Error";
  return false;
}
?>

On Succes
Show Thanks Message (with the Download-File)

On Fail
Event Loop
Target event
> On Submit > Custom ServerSide Validation (0) > OnFail
Quit next actions
No

...No Form is shown on my page 😟
Maggie

okay,
onload i forgot = show html
and no i can see the password-field an the submit button :-)
but then goes error :-(

Thanks for help
Maggie

Hi Margaret,

Please set the Event Loop to loop to the > On Load event (that is the default setting) as you want to re-load the form when there is an error.

Is 'data' the name of your password input?

Bob

Hi Bob,
thanks, i changed by 'loop event' >onload.
Yes, i want to test with 'data'.

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

And is it working now?

If not, please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug results here.

Note: if you are using the Easy Wizard you can turn on Debug on the Others tab.

Bob

...the result:

Data Array:

Array
(
[chronoform] => haccp_update
[event] => submit
[Itemid] => 203
[option] => com_chronoforms
[view] => form
[Benutzerpasswort] => data

)

Hi Maggie,

It looks as though the password input is called 'Benutzerpasswort' and not 'data'??

Bob

Hi Bob,
'Benutzerpasswort' is called the Label from the password input field.

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

It may be the Label but the debugger output tells me that it is the name too. There is no visible output with the name 'data'.

Bob

Hm, where must you enter the password?

Hi Maggie,

I'm sorry I don't understand your question :-(

Bob

:oops: I don't no, in which script I must register (in the backend of chronoForms) the password.
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

I still don't understand your question - earlier in the thread I think that we talked about using a custom Serverside Validation action to check the password.

Bob

Hi Bob,
yes, I want to give a password i shall name it now "password".
This 'password' must be, deposited in the script so that the user can type in the box ' type the credentials ', this password and than follows the download file sharing.

I hope, you can follow me.
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Yes that's what we've talked about all through this thread. Which part isn't working???

Bob

Hi Bob,
all is wrong 😟

/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/custom_serverside_validation/custom_serverside_validation.php(16) : eval()'d code on line 5

serverside_validation is:

<?php
$ok_values = array(
  'passwort'
);
if ( !in_array($form->data['data'], $ok_values ) {
  $form->validation_errors['data'] = "Falscheingabe";
  return false;
}
?>

Hi Maggie,

This line is missing a ) It should be:

if ( !in_array($form->data['data'], $ok_values) ) {

Bob

Thanks Bob,
but by input the password 'passwort' the error display 'Falscheingabe' is shown.

Maggie

HI Maggie,

As I said a while ago:

It looks as though the password input is called 'Benutzerpasswort' and not 'data'??

Have you tried this??

if ( !in_array($form->data['Benutzerpasswort'], $ok_values) ) {

Bob

Hi Bob,
😶 I hope you will help me again, please.

  return false;
}

	OnSuccess

Thanks a lot for your patience and help
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

The name is now Hirsebrei but in the Custom code you have used hirsebrei. They must be identical.

Bob

Hi Bob,
'hirsebrei' is now everywhere in littel letters, but the result is: [attachment=0]passwortabfrage.png[/attachment]

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Bob

:cry: There is no URL.
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look.

Bob
