XenCustomize Limit Attachment Downloads for XenForo 2

Control forum post attachment downloads with fair limits, clear user guidance, positive reaction requirements, countdown download pages, and flexible file extension rules.

Limit Attachment Downloads helps XenForo forum communities protect valuable post attachments, reduce download abuse, encourage member participation, and explain download restrictions clearly.

Instead of showing users a generic permission error, the addon gives admins practical controls such as attachment download quotas, message count requirements, positive reaction requirements, countdown download pages, detailed Download Limits Overview information, and file extension targeting. It is built for communities that want stronger attachment download control without making the user experience feel confusing or unfinished.

Version 2.3.4 refreshes the addon with XenCustomize Core Library integration, license key options, a better admin positive reaction selector, clearer restriction wording, and a more helpful next-download countdown experience.

Key Benefits

Reduce attachment download abuse
Set practical download quotas so users cannot repeatedly download protected attachments without limits.

Encourage meaningful participation
Require a minimum message count or a positive reaction before users can access matching attachments.

Target only the file types that matter
Apply restrictions only to selected file extensions such as archives, documents, installers, disk images, or any extension list you configure.

Keep users informed
Show clear download limit details, remaining quota, reset timing, and next available download information.

Improve the download experience
Use a dedicated countdown download page with file information, ad positions, widget support, and a clean final download button.

Stay flexible by user group and forum node
Combine XenForo user group permissions with forum node permissions for more precise control.

Main Features

Attachment download quota limits
Set how many matching attachments a user can download during a configured time period. The default reset window is 24 hours, but this can be adjusted from the addon options.

Downloads left indicator
Users can see how many downloads they have left for the current quota window, helping reduce confusion and support questions.

Next available download time
When a user reaches their attachment download limit, the Download Limits Overview can show when their next download should become available.

Live next-download countdown
Version 2.3.4 adds a live countdown timer to the Download Limits Overview, making the next available download time easier to understand at a glance.

Positive reaction requirement
Require users to add a positive reaction to the post before downloading attachments. This can help encourage appreciation for useful posts and improve visible engagement.

Admin-friendly positive reaction selector
Version 2.3.4 improves the Positive Reaction IDs option with a cleaner reaction selector, so admins can choose positive reactions visually instead of manually entering reaction IDs.

Message count requirement
Require users to have a minimum number of forum messages before they can download matching attachments.

Forum node permissions
Configure download limits and message count limits per forum node where needed.

File extension targeting
Choose which attachment extensions should be controlled by this addon. This lets you protect downloads such as ZIP files, PDFs, documents, installers, or other configured formats while leaving unrelated attachment types alone.

Download Limits Overview
Give users a detailed overlay showing their download limit, downloads left, reset time, next available download time, message count status, and reaction requirement status.

Quick Info Tabs Bar
Show a compact download limits summary near the post attachments area, with quick access to the detailed overview.

Countdown download page
Send users through a dedicated countdown page before the final download button appears. The countdown time can be configured globally and adjusted by permission where needed.

Countdown page file information
The countdown page can show useful attachment details such as file name, file size, file extension, and view/download count.

Reaction change and undo restrictions
Optional settings and permissions can restrict users from changing or undoing reactions after reacting to a post.

Guest guidance page
Guest users attempting to download protected attachments can be shown a friendly login/register prompt instead of a confusing blocked flow.

Ad and widget positions
Use built-in XenForo ad positions above and below the countdown download area, plus a widget position for the countdown page sidebar.

Style customization
Dedicated style properties and CSS classes make it easier to customize the Info Tabs Bar and Download Limits Overview to better match your site.
