TOPIC: Right-click to download media

Right-click to download media 22 Apr 2011 22:15 #2520

Tom, we just discovered that when we right-click on either the video or audio icon to do a "Save Target As" or "Save Link As" the filename shows as index.php.We are using wmv video files with the All Videos Plugin, and the Internal player for the mp3 files. If we turn on and use the download arrows, it works just fine. We would prefer to not have to display and use the download arrows. Is there a fix to this issue? Thanks

hi Bill, What's happening is that the icon is really a link to the player so your browser automatically tries to save the web page the link is on. The only way around this is to create the link as a direct link. Most want to use a player of some kind so that's why we created the download icon.

I know it takes up a bit more real estate - but I was unable to figure out a way to have the right click operate any differently (believe me, I tried). If someone out there can help the developers figure that one out we'd be appreciative!

Tom

Thanks Tom. We have go back to using the download arrows, but have edited the original arrow to be half as wide and a little shorter.
