Cron Rules

The Cron Rules tab will allow you to add permissions for folders and files. This is useful if you're adding files through FTP and you want to apply permissions through the component. This works only for new files, not existing ones.

Files details

Choose files related details or select an option for the following:

  • File statistics: Yes / No - enabling this option will populate the Statistics tab with the following information: hit count, Date and time, Ip and Username
  • File license: you can assign a configured license to the file
  • Download method: File download / Email download
  • Download limit: You can type here, the number of downloads that are available for the file
  • Show Preview: show or hide the preview button from the frontend

Important:

This will not apply on sub-folders. If you want it applied on sub-folders as well, you'll have to create a Cron Rule for that particular sub-folder.
If you've used the "Synchronize files" feature, the files database entries will be created and the Cron Rules only works for new files not yet synchronized.

Log tab

The Log tab displays a list with files / folders added in the folder setup above, using this Cron rule.
