Sermon Download

Thank you for the great work on this extension. It is a wonderful addition to our new website.

If I missed something in the documentation or forum, please forgive me for posting. I'm new to Joomla and web development.

I have an issue where our site does not behave like your demo site. I have enabled the download button, but when you click on it the browser opens and then loads the file into a player. On your demo site, a dialog box is presented to allow the user to save the file. This is the behavior we would like to have. Can you advise what we need to do? Is there a change we need to make to Apache?

Thank you for your response.

The download function only works for files stored locally on the server. It doesn't work for files on external servers like Amazon S3 or similar.
I guess that's the case for you.

I'm sorry I didn't specify, but our files are stored locally. I think it has to do with the mime type, but I tried setting the mime type to application/octet-stream and that didn't seem to fix it.

Do you have an URL where I could have a look?

Try this.

www.faithcommunitychurch.com/messages.html

Thank you.

Did you enter the URL to the file manually or did you use the dropdown lists?
If manually, did you use an absolute path (http://.....) or a relative one (/sermonaudio/...)?

If you used an absolute path, try using a relative one for local files. If the URL starts with "http://" SermonSpeaker assumes it's an external file.
