Automatically Download Images Upon Click (jQuery)

[kurtwoerpel]

Hello Armin and Crew,

I'm trying to get images to automatically download upon click and can't seem to crack the code. I read up on the particulars of your 'bind to click' jquery on the site and have tried to approximate mine based on some other web tutorials, but can't seem to crack it.

Here's what I have now:

jQuery(document).on("click", ".clickme", function(event){
var link = $(“<a></a>”);
var source = $(this).attr(“src”)
link.attr(“href”, source);
link.attr(“download”, “filename”)
link.attr(“target”, “_blank”)
JQuery(link).css(“display”, ”none”);
JQuery(“body”).append(link);
link.click()
JQuery(link).remove()
})

Does not seem to do anything -- any advice?

Thanks so much!

Kurt

Dear @kurtwoerpel

do you have many images?
You could just link them to the image file from your MEDIA LIBRARY.

I think your jQuery code is a bit too complicated.

I would make a JS Fiddle to test.

Not sure if you need this:

var link = $(“<a></a>”);

You just need the Source and then open the source again in a new window.

Best!

Hmmmmm.

I will fiddle around ;)

I'm having trouble even having jQuery recognize or trigger from images.
Is there a specific way i have to refer to images in LayTheme?

Dear @kurtwoerpel

give this a try.

<script>
jQuery(document).on("click", "img", function(event) {
	jQuery(this).addCLass("TEST");
});
</script>

Best!
