Hi,

On one of my mambo sites I DON'T use registrations for users and I search now for a download component which affords me the possibility to put files in there which can be downloaded from every homepage visitor and files that should be only downloadable when the visitor types in a (username and or) password after he clicks this file....

Is there a component out there who can handle this?

(Docman looks like it can't handle my problem like shown in their (http://www.mambodocman.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=30&func=view&id=71&catid=3]their) forum :( )

Thanks

Docman will do what you want. When you upload a file to Docman, you can set the ownership of the file to any user classification. So if the file's ownership is for "everyone"...any visitor to your site will be able to download that file. If the ownership of the file is set to "registered users" then visitors must be registered and logged in to be able to download that file.

Yes, but then I have to put the login-module to the homepage and I don't want that http://www.mambodocman.com/components/com_simpleboard/emoticons/wink.gif

What I want is that every homepage visitor will see ALL the documents and when a visitor click on a file I decided which only can be downloadable with user/pw he had to write/login with user/pw....

Difficult to explain as a german :O

You can imagin it like lock a file/folder with .htaccess! When you would like to download such a file, a popup appears and you have to login with "username" and "password".
