• Add manually all spam domains e.g. site.com to 'Blacklist'
• Add the trusted email domains e.g. gmail.com to 'Whitelist'

This plugin is saved 90% your site from the spam registrations.

Of course, 'User email validation' plugin is activated.

Just one idea, the timestamp as a value.

I guess you refer to adding a new metadata entry named "timestamp"? I would like to avoid that as it would also mean adding an update script for all existing video/photo entities. Likewise, the query would be more complicated.

I meant to use this additional value for your entities:

$entity->time();

when user is watching a video/photo or changing/updating a vote.

Yes, it could affect the current data.

However, you can create a SQL query during the update. I'm sure that's possible.

Hi @Jerome Bakker ,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I don't want to generate a download link because I working on a plugin that need to access users' files though WOPI (Web Application Open Platform Interface) protocol. (https://wopi.readthedocs.io/projects/wopirest/en/latest/files/GetFile.html#getfile)

Based on WOPI requirements, my response body must be the full binary contents of the file.

That's why I tried to use readfile().

Regards,

Have a look at https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/blob/3.3/engine/classes/Elgg/Application/ServeFileHandler.php that's the handler for downloading (and inline viewing) of files in Elgg.

Thanks a lot.

But how can I use that handler in my case ?

Regards
