[hack] TP Downloads - Guests View Only Mod

[akulion]

Hi,

This is a mod which will make it so that when guests are on your forum and try and download anything they will get a small popup telling them to register.

They will be able to browse the entire downloads section, but just not able to download.

PLEASE NOTE: This mod is a deterrent, but for people familiar with Tiny Portal they will easily be able to by-pass it. But for your average user, they wont know how.

The Mod demo can be seen in :

My live site download section:
http://path-to-peace.com/forum2/index.php?action=tpmod;dl

The mod file is attached below, to install it, just upload via your package manager and install normally as you would any other package.

Nearly forgot to mention...this will work with SMF 1.1 and 1.1.1 and TP 0.97
Also please remember when a new TP version is released and u want to upgrade, uninstall this mod FIRST and then upgrade!

Sorry Aku, I've been sick yesterday and today.  I'll check it out, sounds like a good deal to me.  Let guests see that you have stuff, but they need to register to actually get it.   :up:

Oh no worries, I was just shamelessly bumping the topics (confession)

I hope u get well really soon :up: Take lotsa rest and drink hot choco

The hack is as simple as it can get - its just a conditional link lol The file for download is attached to the post above though

Cool, the Mad Scientist is at it again   :up:  I like it.  Where is says 'Please Register' on the pop up, can it be a link to your registration page?
