Topic: Attachment Download Permission

[Bounda]

When i allowed guests to view downloads, they were allowed to download them too. When i used to be on 1.0.7 it would only let them view the download, if they clicked it they were redirected to a login page. I want to be able to do this on 1.1RC2, and its really been annoying me. If i knew what file to look in, i could try to do it myself, but i have absolutely no knowledge of php. Just a quick overview.

What i want:

Guests view attachments, but when clicked, redirected to a login page.

What 1.1RC2 Has

Guests view attachments, and can download them if View Attachments is enabled through permissions. I want them to see them, but be redirected to a login page like i said before.

'attachment' => array(
'view_attachments' => false,

)
Replace

In ManagePermissions.english.php

Code: (find) [Select]

$txt['permissionname_view_attachments'] = 'View attachments';
$txt['permissionhelp_view_attachments'] = 'Attachments are files that are attached to posted messages. This feature can be enabled and configured in \'Edit Features and Options\'. Since attachments are not directly accessed, you can protect them from being downloaded by users that don\'t have this permission.';
Replace

$txt['permissionname_view_attachments'] = 'Download attachments';

[JayBachatero]

Sorry I missed a ) in the Display.php changes.

Change

I tried this mod on version 1.1.2 and it installed without a hitch however the problem arose when I tested it.

it created the 2 different permissions but if I allow them to view the attachment but disallow to download then if it's a picture it doesn't show up.  But if I allow them to download then it's like the mod doesn't exist.

What I wanted was to remove the download link below the picture.  Not sure if this mod is the one I need?

A related question: I have a registered-only site and need to be sure that posts and attachments are not accessible to the public.  Does the above solution prevent access to attachments even if the direct link is known?

The SMF feature list says the following on attachments (http://www.simplemachines.org/about/features.php)

Ability to restrict such that only registered members can view them (disables hotlinking, mostly.)

But this seems to suggest that someone who's not registered but knows the link can still get the attachment?

Thanks for advice and pointers!
