• How do I use Linklok URL with CMS systems
  Linklok URL works with many PHP based CMS systems such as ExpressionEngine, Wordpress or Joomla. Because these systems usually use eval() to
  call PHP functions you should add the following lines to linklokurl.php above your other settings.
  
  global $LinklokKey,$LinklokLocation,$LinklokLocations,$FreeEmail,$ManualPassword;
  global $ErrorTempalate,$HTMLEmail,$YourCompany,$YourEmail;
  global $LinklokLog,$mt,$ipaddr,$thispage,$thisurl,$NoExtraPath;
  global $linklokauth,$linklokform,$password,$DownloadURL,$DownloadURLs;
  $DownloadURL="http://www.yoursite.com/linklokurl.php";
  
  

  Please note it is important that the above lines are added before your other settings at the top of linklokur.php. The ideal place is directly underneath our
  copyright message block.
  
  The $DownloadURL setting in the last line should be set to the full URL to linklokurl.php on your server.
  
  Each CMS has different methods of calling PHP so consult the documentation for help adding the function calls etc.
  
  For Wordpress we recommend installing the phpexec plugin which allows PHP to be entered between the special tags and .
  
  Here is an example use in Wordpress.
  
  <phpcode>
  <?php require("/home84a/sub002/sc46069-ZIXY/www/linklokurl.php"); ?>
  </phpcode>
  
  <a href="<phpcode> <?php linklokurl('manuallinklokurl.pdf',10,1,0); ?>
  </phpcode>">Download Here</a>

• Can the secure links create by Linklok URL be cracked?
  It is never wise to claim 100% security but we think that the links are extremely secure. In fact the true location of the file is not included in the link even encrypted and the MD5 hashing technique used means that the expiry time or filename to be downloaded cannot be changed. Back to top
• Can files be stored in subdirectories of the secure folder?
  Yes they can. For example if you have a file called test.zip in a subdirectory subdir then you should refer to it as subdir/test.zip. Back to top
• Can I modify the code?
  We do not scramble or protect our code so you can make any modifications required. However please remember that any modified versions are still owned by us and will require a license for use. You must not under any circumstances remove the copyright notice from the script.
