I didn’t find any option to exclude filenames with a dot in the front of the name, so I made a little change in the code of the file "assets/snippets/filedownload/filedownload.class.inc.php".
In line number 402 I changed the code

$validFile = $this->_config['filterExt'] ? $this->validExtension($extension) : 1 ;

$validFile = $this->validFilename($file) && ($this->_config['filterExt'] ? $this->validExtension($extension) : 1 );

, in line number 408

$validFile = $this->_config['filterExt'] ? $this->validExtension($extension) : 1 ;

to this

$validFile = $this->validFilename($file) && ($this->_config['filterExt'] ? $this->validExtension($extension) : 1 );

and added in line number 297 this little function:

function validFilename($filename) {
 if ( $filename[0] === "." ) {
 return 0;
 } else {
 return 1;
 }
}

Could this or something like that be added to the next version update?

Hi. First of all, great snippet. I don’t know whether this was already addressed but I was wondering how I would go about creating a TV based on FileDownload so that my client could specify a file URL in each document that uses a FileDownload snippet call in its template. Is this possible? My client will be regularly generating pages that will each have download links, and i don’t want the client to be constantly editing chunks for each of these pages. Hope this makes sense. By the way, I don’t need the files to be secure so I’d appreciate an answer that didn’t require that I use the FileDownload plugin. Thanks.
