I am putting together a membership site with OP and DAP. Putting videos on is easy but I am lost on how to put PDF on there! Can I just put it on amazon s3?

    You can put it in S3 and create a hyperlink on the page you want it on in OP and have it direct to your S3 link or your AWS Cloud link. I have a couple that way on my OP site. I have mine setup with a pdf image which launched from my Amazon Cloud link.

      Or

      2. just put it up on your server (by FTP) and link to that as the download
      3. put it in drop box or similar and link to that

      Put the links in your download page, which you create in OP

    Ideally, yes, you should put it on Amazon S3.

    If you have access to our S3MediaVault.com plugin (which you would've gotten a free copy of if you purchased the DAP Unlimited-site license), then just upload your PDF to your Amazon S3 account (to the same bucket where you have your videos for the site), and then publishing a secure link to your PDF on your site becomes as simple as putting the shortcode below in your WP page:

    [s3mv]AwesomeReport.pdf,url[s3mv]

    We call it a "URL Tag", just like you have a "Video Tag" for playing videos.

    You can find out more about this tag, at http://s3mediavault.com/documentation/

    Hope this helps.

      Hi Ravi,

      I've set up my OP/DAP membership site alright. The links from my Amazon bucket using S3MediaVault, like you described above, was all sweet (and secure!). The only thing is that the download link is just a straight hyper-text-link... I couldn't work out how to integrate it with the OP shortcode for a PDF icon. Any ideas?

      Cheers and great work!

    Unfortunately, it's an OP limitation that does not allow another set of shortcodes to be executed within OP's own shortcodes ("shortcodes within shortcodes").

    So you'll have to use either their shortcode and link to your S3 file directly (in which case, you won't have the protection that S3MediaVault provides), or use the S3MV shortcodes (which will give you full protection for your actual file, but you won't get OP's "PDF icon" feature) :-)

    Catch 22 indeed! Sorry.
