pdf's for registered users 

Site has several pdf documents that the client wants to make available to registered users.  My question is how to set this up.

1> I have the pdf's in a file folder visible to registered users.  If they are not registered, all I get is that they do not have permission to view the file.  I need them to be redirected to a login page so they can register.  After login or registration, they need to be redirected to the pdf file.

I just can't see how this can be done.  Can anyone give me step by step instructions or a link to a tutorial?

Re: pdf's for registered users 

You may like to make the module which holds the PDF's as being only visible to registered users and instead have instructions on the page telling users to register/login to access the documents. You could include a link to the login page, or add an Account Login module to the page with the PDF's.

Administrators can also set 'Redirect After Login' under User Accounts - User Settings. See http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Documentation/DotNetNukeOnlineHelp/tabid/787/TID/2209/cid/251/Default.aspx

Administrators can also create their own login page if you want to add messages about registration/login to access PDF's on that page. See http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Documentation/DotNetNukeOnlineHelp/tabid/787/TID/1754/cid/238/Default.aspx

I hope this solves your problem, let me know if I have missed something.

Re: pdf's for registered users 

g-

one way to do it is to add a repository module to the page and use that to host the pdfs or use the documents module - make that visible for registered users - then add a text module telling people to login or register to download files and make that one visible to unauthenticated users only

that way untill they log in they see a message that they need to log in first -

If that isnt good enough there are a few modules on snowcovered that will take care of some of that - I suggest Peter Donkers - Document Exchange Pro 4 - it is a good module and well written - might be too much though

Another option is to write your own (Snowcovered is a good bet though)
