understanding the plugin

Hi

This is probably a very stupid question, but i am a newbie to this type of thing really.

my question is is this plugin cabable of doing what i require or is it too advanced.

basically i wish to create a download page that is visibile to the public but when a link is clicked to download a document a popup asks the user to register/ login (the user being able to do so on this popup).

when the popup is completed the window closes and the user can download the document.

is this possible with this product?

also from a licencing perspective i have a secondary url that i use to play with new plugins etc until i have things working correctly before placing them on my primary url?

can i use this on my secondary url? then when happy delete it and reload to me primary url? can i do this with one licence or would i need two?

many thanks

Hi MB.

Yes, but not exactly (the pop-up). You can protect the files with the Download restriction, and put the links to them in an unprotected page. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› Basic Download Restrictions[/hilite]

Then, when the person tries to download the protected files without the access to them, he’ll be redirected to the Membership Options page (instead of shown a pop-up). [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Membership Options Page[/hilite]

In the Membership Options page you can sell the access to the person, or ask him to register for free, or to login if he has an account.

Once he’s logged in with the right access to the protected files, he can go ahead and download them.

also from a licencing perspective i have a secondary url that i use to play with new plugins etc until i have things working correctly before placing them on my primary url?

can i use this on my secondary url? then when happy delete it and reload to me primary url? can i do this with one licence or would i need two?

You don’t need an s2Member Pro license for the development/tests installation.

I hope that helps! :)

OK Thanks
