Aku,
Is it the correct way to make this Mod work as I did?

After applying this Mod Download categories weren't still visible as guests so in TP Download Manager I set "Allowed membergroups" to guests also. Now these categories are visible to guest also but they can't download.

Regards,
Jim

u can make everything visible to everyone with this mod

but it wont let the guests download and members can

[funxlab]

ok. And the procedure I did was the correct way of doing that ..right?

[akulion]

yes its correct

just test it as well - log out and then go and try to download something - if u fail then it means its working :up:

This hack was a God sent for me. My website depends on TP and its download section and I always wanted the guests to see what they could download, but be able to unless they were a member. So you made just what I was looking for, and I thank you so much for it. :laugh:

I like this mod alot, but it was bothering me that the download button showed up in the category view.  Instead of downloading (or asking you to register), it takes you to the actual download page...  where you get another download button which actually will start the download (or ask you to register).  In the unmodded dlmanager, the button doesn't show up in the cat view.

Here's how I fixed it:

I changed the last bit of code

Code Select Expand

else{
echo '
<a href="'.$dlitem['href'].'"><img src="' . $settings['images_url']. '/TPdownloadfile.gif" border="0" align="right" alt="" /></a>
<b><a href="'.$dlitem['href'].'">'. $dlitem['name'] .'</a></b> ' , ($context['TPortal']['dlaction']!='item' && isset($dlitem['filesize'])) ? '<br />'.$dlitem['filesize'] : '' ,  '<div class="smalltext">
'.$dlitem['description'];}
to:

Code Select Expand

else{
if ($context['TPortal']['dlaction']=='item')
echo '
<a href="'.$dlitem['href'].'"><img src="' . $settings['images_url']. '/TPdownloadfile.gif" border="0" align="right" alt="" /></a>';
echo '
<b><a href="'.$dlitem['href'].'">'. $dlitem['name'] .'</a></b> ' , ($context['TPortal']['dlaction']!='item' && isset($dlitem['filesize'])) ? '<br />'.$dlitem['filesize'] : '' ,  '<div class="smalltext">
'.$dlitem['description'];}and it now behaves just like it did before it was modded except guests get the popup.

Hope this helps someone out...

This is great! I was wondering how to be able to let guests see that there ARE things available to download without actually letting them download anything, thankyou for this Aku!

And Hoopty, your modification to it worked like a charm, thanks!

EDIT: HAHAHA I just noticed this....
This works great with the Snap preview I have on my forum...it only works because for some reason the DL link is using my server IP instead of the actual domain name.(I have the preview set to only show previews for external links)
here's a screenshot of what it looks like when you mouseover the DL button:

I would really love this to work with v0.9.8, are you planning to re-release this?
