Although it seems unlikely I am hoping there is some way to pass or create a download link from templates that allows policies to be bypass file download permission checks a little like fetch 'limitation', array().

I don't wish to give users read access to this entire class, but would love it if I could apply class attribute level permissions. Since this isn't possible in eZ publish without hacks can anyone suggest ant work-arounds?

Thanks

Hi Brendan,

You can create a new module/view, similar to content/dowload (see kernel/content/download.php), that doesn't check any policies for certain content classes.

Thanks Kristof

I suspected it would require an extension, could be an opportunity for me to learn how to create a basic extension. :)
