File Permission and download Management 

Hi

I want the download to be limited to registered users, but at the same time, i would like the unregistered visitor of the site to be able to view the file's description so that they can be decided if they want to register to access documents.

Fo instance, a visitor should see the module as if it were logged in, but when clicking on download, he would be redirected to the register Page.

Is there a way to do that?

I tried to set permissions on the folders in the file manager (both registered and suscribers), but the whole raw disappears.

Up to now, the only way i found to achieve this was to create a user table with the same columns and raws than for my Document Module and instead of the dowload link, put a link to the register page. I set permission to only unregistered users, put the Document Module on the same page abs set its permission to reguistered and suscribers. Of course it's working, but this is really unproductive.

I am not a programmer, don't know ASP, so that if the solution is to edit the module files, i am affraid that i will have to keep using my trick.

 

About the module, i have two suggestion for the roadmap:

  • it would be nice to have the possibility of a checkbox instead of a download link in the download column and at the end of the column, the download link, so that the user could mark all documents and download them in one clic (without loosing the tracks)
  • It would be nice as well to have a kind of dashboard on downloads activities (by documents, users, date, etc.)

Thank you for your comments

Re: File Permission and download Management 

Guillaume,

I am sorry but there is no real way of doing this with the module itself, but one thing you could do rather than entering the information twice is to use the Reports module and a simple database query to provide the items.  An example is below

SELECT Title, Category, Description, ModifiedDate, CreatedDate
FROM Documents
WHERE ModuleId = <YourIdHere>
ORDER BY Title

You just need to update the <YourIdHere> portion with the module id of the individual documents module instance you want to show the items on. 

As for the other roadmap suggestions, I am not sure how the first item could be implemented, but I'll make sure that Anthony hears the recommendation.  As for the second recommendation, I think that is a GREAT recommendation, but I think that might actually be something that we can do outside of the Documents module...

Re: File Permission and download Management 

I suggest that you use the repository module, you can control the download permission for the file, so unregistered users can view the description but can not download.

Re: File Permission and download Management 

The Repository Module looks great, my only problem is that i haven't se the way to track downloads from the dashboard.

Maybe i missed the trick, i will investigate a bit more.
