TP 0.8.6 (Updated files) and SMF 1.1RC2 Errors from log.

Not to hijack this thread, but it kind of goes along with my question...

Can someone point me in the direction of what changed I would have to make in order to send a guess to the standard "login/register" screen when they go to access the downloads?

Right now, with them just getting blank screens, it looks like there is nothing to download...

That should have been fixed in the update pack of TP V.086 i think.
If you havent got that, visit the downloads here and take the update and simply uplod the files in it and overwrite the old ones. Always make backup of the old ones first just in case

Or maybe you can have a button saying downloads which when clicked will go to the login or register page.
Make that button visible only for guests.

Nope... when I come in as a guest and go to the downloads section, I still just empty Main and blank stats...

Darkman - I could do that, but I'd rather keep things consistent, ya know? Like the Arcade, or when user tries to go to a board they're not spozed to access...

Oh well.. I'll figger something out...

But its really "nothing" to download for guests..if you do not allow them to view the folder.

The whole concept of this is to prevent anyone without access to actually view the folder, hiding the folders physically. I could redirect guests..but if you have only certain membergroups allowed in that folder, it will be wrong again.

Right now I would rather recommend you create a main folder, put in a dummy file there, and a text saying to order to see more, you need to be logged in.

I guess what I would like is to have the contents display to guests, but if they try to download they get re-directed to the login/register page... I've got it set up that way in the "members only" section of the forum; just trying to keep things consistent. This way, also, guests can see that there is actually stuff there to download, where with the blank sections they see nothing, and come away thinking there's nothing to download (less incentive to register)..

I understand what you're saying, tho, and that makes perfect sense, too... Set up kind of a "samples" area that guests can access. Hmm.... let me ponder on this. It could work.

Thanks!
