Restrict certain downloads to Subscribed Members Only?

Theme Guru Joined: Dec 26, 2002 Posts: 57 Location: UK

Raven has a great script to allow all visitors to view downloads but restrict actual download of files to registered users only. Is it possible to have this same option but for subscribed users only(as in PHPNuke 7.10) please?
TIA

I haven't tried it yet, so ....

Find this code around line 1146 or so in Downloads/index.php

Code:

if (!is_user($user)&&in_array($lid,$lidArray)&&!is_admin($admin)) {

and modify it to

Code:

if (!paid()&&!is_admin($admin)) {

Got this far... in /modules/Downloads/index.php...around line 1117

Code:

function getit($lid) {


// Add a new line of code for each $lid to block for Registered Users only


    $lidArray[] = 9999; // EXAMPLE!!!


    $lidArray[] = 1; // EXAMPLE!!!





    global $prefix, $dbi, $user, $admin;


    if (!is_user($user)&&in_array($lid,$lidArray)&&!is_admin($admin)) {


      $pagetitle = "- "._ACCESSDENIED."";


      include("header.php");


      title("$sitename: "._ACCESSDENIED."");


      OpenTable();


      echo "<center><b>"._RESTRICTEDAREA."</b><br><br>"


                      .""._MODULESSUBSCRIBER."";


                  if ($subscription_url != "") {


                     echo "<br>"._SUBHERE."";


                  }


            echo "<br><br>"._GOBACK."";


      CloseTable();


      include("footer.php");


      die();


   }

But it produces this

and not this

Your first suggestion did not have any affect.
Any advice gratefully received Confused

Make sure that the module is active for All Visitors. Then try this

Code:

function getit($lid) {


    global $prefix, $dbi, $user, $admin;


    $lid = intval($lid);


    $hits = intval($hits);


     if (!paid()&&!is_admin($admin)) {


       $pagetitle = "- "._ACCESSDENIED."";


       include("header.php");


       title("$sitename: "._ACCESSDENIED."");


       OpenTable();


      echo "<center><b>"._RESTRICTEDAREA."</b><br><br>"


                      .""._MODULESSUBSCRIBER.""


                      .""."<br>"._SUBHERE.""


                 .""."<br>"._GOBACK."";


       CloseTable();


       include("footer.php");


       die();


    }


    sql_query("update ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads set hits=hits+1 WHERE lid=$lid", $dbi);


    update_points(17);


    $result = sql_query("SELECT url FROM ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads WHERE lid='$lid'", $dbi);


    list($url) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi);


    Header("Location: $url");


}

Looks great Raven, thanks, but where does

Code:

// Add a new line of code for each $lid to block for Registered Users only 


    $lidArray[] = 9999; // EXAMPLE!!! 


    $lidArray[] = 1; // EXAMPLE!!!

fit in so that individual files are available for subscribed users only, or have I missed something in your coding please Embarassed

You don't need that any longer because to download you must be a subscriber which means you already are registered.

Why did I doubt you. Wink

Your last set of code works perfectly.
Carrying this on a stage further, if possible please, what code would need to be added so that majority of files in downloads are for all users only, but maybe only 2 or 3 download files are available just to subscribers? TIA

Try this. It's very early here and I haven't tested it Smile

Code:

function getit($lid) { 


// Add a new line of code for each $lid to block for Registered Users only 


    $lidArray[] = 9999; // EXAMPLE!!! 


    $lidArray[] = 1; // EXAMPLE!!! 


    global $prefix, $dbi, $user, $admin; 


    $lid = intval($lid); 


    $hits = intval($hits); 


    if (in_array($lid,$lidArray)&&!paid()&&!is_admin($admin)) { 


       $pagetitle = "- "._ACCESSDENIED.""; 


       include("header.php"); 


       title("$sitename: "._ACCESSDENIED.""); 


       OpenTable(); 


      echo "<center><b>"._RESTRICTEDAREA."</b><br><br>" 


                      .""._MODULESSUBSCRIBER."" 


                      .""."<br>"._SUBHERE."" 


                 .""."<br>"._GOBACK.""; 


       CloseTable(); 


       include("footer.php"); 


       die(); 


    } 


    sql_query("update ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads set hits=hits+1 WHERE lid=$lid", $dbi); 


    update_points(17); 


    $result = sql_query("SELECT url FROM ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads WHERE lid='$lid'", $dbi); 


    list($url) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi); 


    Header("Location: $url"); 


}

Code:

if (in_array($lid,$lidArray&&!paid()&&!is_admin($admin)) {

Think that line above is not quite correct with the following showing

parse error on line 1124

Code:

if (in_array($lid,$lidArray)&&!paid()&&!is_admin($admin)) {
