I ran through all this on a clean installation this morning, found one problem with media filetypes, but otherwise it worked as I expected:
1) To make sure that all links are visible even when they cannot be played, you have to give the usergroup can_see_protected_links_on_portal permission.
2) To turn off access to (e.g.) unregistered users, you have to take away can_access_link permission
3) To change what happens when a user with can_see_protected_links_on_portal but without can_access_link permission tries to access something, you set protected_link - 0: no hyperlink shown; 1: normal link, generates no permission error; 2: link jumps to registration dialogue
4) To set the protection for some links, you need to 'associated' them with a forum that is not visible to the usergroup in question. You can do this either on the standard edit link page or on the admin/categories/mass edit page.
The bit that doesn't work properly in the current code is step (3) for media files, where the user will always get a 'no permission' message rather than the alternatives outlined above.
If you still have problems, send me a PM with detail sof your board and an admin u/name + password and I'll take a look. |
