    It would be better to allow in the settings to switch the media upload to a seperate folder instead of the standard WordPress Image Folders. Why, because i can’t restrict people from downloading the specific media items uploaded via Flexi if they aren’t logged in / members of my site. I hope you introduce the possibility to upload the media items in a seperate folder. You have to currently mess with the php files in Flexi to archieve that.

    Well, features never ends ??
    Let me know which plugin has done this so that I can take a reference.

    Currently, while user upload any image file it creates (Full Size image, Medium size & thumbnail).
    Large preview shows only medium size and when download button is clicked full size image is downloaded which has new file name different from medium size. In short no direct access to file.

    Secondly,
    You can restrict gallery from visitors user and only show gallery for logged in user.

    Your more feedback at [email protected] will be appreciated.

    Hi,

    rtmedia has it’s own folder so i wrote a simple script and put it into the folder which only allows users who are logged into the site to view media items. If a user would for example share example.com/upload/rtmedia/picture.jpg a logged out user won’t be able to view it and will be redirected to the login page.

    The Problem with the Flexi approach is that i can’t just write a simple script for it because i would also make the normal wordpress pictures not viewable for logged out users. If you share a picture uploaded via Flexi with a logged out User he can still see that picture.

    It seems like a premium features that we should develop for future. Help use to build it.

    Yes, you are right in this case that if anyone share image (direct link to image file) will not redirect login page. I have never tested rtmedia media, but I feel that if you send direct link to image file, it will not redirect to your login page. But if image is shared as a picture or post id, it can have redirect.

    Eg.
    https://…../abc.jpg (will not redirect)
    https://…../file=abc.jpg (will redirect)

    We can make our detail page where large image available with download button. Which will be accessible only to logged in user.
    Is it good approach without changing the media folder ?
