HTML - Creating A Download Page Which Will Expire
Greetings!
This is my first post on these forums, my apologies if I do not format is properly, or such. Also, I have no code to copy here to be looked at.. I am more looking for some advice, or to be pointed in the right direction.. We want to create a download page on our website, where customers can download our product after paying, but we want the URL to expire. (Or we can make it password encrypted with a password which expires). We have the website worked out up the point of payment, we now just need to code a page which we can distribute our product on. I've bought many items before, like online e-books, or computer software, where the download stays open for 24 hours, and then closes, and that is what we are after. Can anyone point me in the direction of, or assit me in how I can make a start with this please? Some notes on the product(s): Each download is 37 MB (four downloads of four e-books) Small PDF file. Hosting space and bandwidth is not a issue. A note on ourselves: We have quite a lot of experiance within the team creating our own websites with GoLive, but none of us have done anything like this before, and we're all a little lost. I do very much appriciate your time for first reading this, and secondly I will be thrilled if you will also spend your time to help us! Thank you for reading, it's deeply appreciated. Warm regards, Nick Similar TutorialsSay for example i wanted to create a stream for an mp3 file, i would create an .m3u file with just the url location inside. Could i create some kind of extension for a 'normal' file such as a rar. or zipped file. Just the url location inside some kind of file? hey guys...i've seen the page of sourceforge where, when the page loads...the download of the file generates automatically.... i want the help related to implement that.... can anyone tell me how to do that.... thanks in advance... Hi, I have a very simple website with a countdown timer on it (http://lemoeonline.freehostia.com/1.htm sorry about all the crap, it should only really have the countdown on it....I forgot to delete the rest). What I am wanting to do is have a separate webpage where users can download that page, but with a date they specify in a form. So, they would go to page a, enter a date, then download page b witch would have the customized code in it......Is this possible? Im not really sure where to start on this one, so im looking for any suggestions! Thanks alot, Lemoe I am a newbie and need your help creating a webpage displaying names with the address.the height and width of the table should be 120 pixels.The border thickness be 5 pixels,border color red and bkground grey. Pls Help Hi, i'm an expereinced PC user, and am just getting into web design, thought you could help. I've got the basics of a website developed, i just need to get the difficult bits done now...just! I've split it up into two points... a) Basically I want users to add a page that I haven't got on my site, (for example, if my website was about bands, one could fill in a form with the title of the band and a few pieces of info. and then that information is taken and a page is created (the page has standard information the same as the rest of the pages, but the details the user entered are on the page)). b) Secondly I want to add to a page a text box one can type into, click submit (basically a review) and that typing be added to that page. I'm assuming some sort of database would be required, but im really not sure how to go about it. Any help would be great Many thanks I dont know where to post this and i searched and couldnt find it but can anyone help me.. im creating a webpage using dreamweaver cs3 and i need to password protect a page, using a username and password, can this be done any other way besides php? If so how can i do it? I am Class Vth Student and need your help in designing the html page .I need to create a webpage displaying different names with addresses.the height and width of table should be of 120 pixel.border thickness is 5 pixel.border shud be red in color and bkground shud be grey. Sorry if this has been posted before, I looked but couldn't find it. I am having serious problems with something I am trying to create. I am building a site which at the moment consists of 1 Page, namely my index.html page. I have put a lot of time and effort into the page and it looks fantastic, however, When the site goes live (school website) there will be a LOT of content pages. My dilema is, say for instance we want to add a new button on or change something on ALL the pages, it would take hours. I know in PHP you can do the index.php?page=departments....and I am sure I have seen it in HTML before. Therefore creating me a template which I only have to change 1 page and the rest will change automatically. This would help me SO Much. Thanks In advance I'm fairly new to html, so if it's something obvious, give me a break. I have a background image with blank sections where I want to put stuff in to, and in one of the sections I want to put a frame or a table so I can have a list of links which you can scroll through, but I don't know how to put it anywhere I want on the page. Any help would be great, thanks. Hi guys, i was wondering if you would be able to help me out. Im attempting to create a poll on my website but im struggling to get the results i want. What im trying to go is have the poll on one page, then on a separate page just have shown the top result which also shows the percentage of people who chose that option. Thanks alot in advance for your help. I am working on a site that will allow the user to print out a contract. However, the customer wants a way to scan the contract in and allow their OCR software to pick up the contract # and automatically store the image. I have the peice working where I have a web page display then a printable version. However, how can I ensure that the printable version always puts the data that will be OCR'd in the same spot? Is there some sort of absolute positioning that I can use? Also, I can foresee a potential problem with this with regards to different browsers and different printer settings. I just don't know what those problems might be. Hello I'm trying to create a page, when its someone's first time opening the web site they get asked if they are under 18 or not and if they are over 18 and enter the site, and the next time they come to the site, it would by pass the age page. Is there anything that I can read that would help me create it? Please give me any suggestion that you have. Thank You Hello All, I am new to this, and not sure if this is the right forum. But, I have a simple web page with drop down menus where I can put values for a calculation. I would like to have the values saved as an input file for a python script that resides on the server. I would like the input file to be created and then the script executed and the output appear as a new page. I have googled this and have come up empty. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks, Bryan Hi. Im having a hard time getting this to work. I have bought a service from a phonenumber supplier and they will provide me with a database. But i need to create a searchform that queries and shows the results on the same page. I have all the strings and such to make it but i need an example on how to make this page. Its got to be in either php or html. I can not give you the url and such to the suppliers because it is classified. hehe But if anyone could give me a little helping hand here i will be very thankfull. Hi, I'm looking to create my own version of a printer-friendly page. Any resources I can find on this subject are extremely specific about what they consider "printer-friendly", and they don't address my issue. It seems to be browser specific, but I want to get rid of whatever extra is printed in the top and bottom margins. Printed from IE, the top margin contains the page title and page information, while the bottom margin contains the URL and date. Printed from Firefox, the top margin contains the title and URL, and the bottom margin contains the page info and date. I don't want any of this - how would I disable it? Thanks. I have set up some document downloads with <a href>NameofDocument</a> , but everytime a user downloads a document a blank browser window opens and then comes the pop up to either save or open in Office. Any ideas on how to keep this blank browser window from opening or being created. i have absolutely no room on my comuter, not even enought to download a template and i just need the template code and then you can delete it, so can someone just download it and then give me the .html code? here is the template, thanks in advance! http://www.tunedstudios.com/comments/template/0/10/ Hello everybody I have a question, might be dumb but...
