Member Only Files
------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Is This?
There are plenty of hacks which allow you to protect regular php pages to be accessible only to your vb members. But how many hacks do you see that allow you to make your files member only? This one does preceisely that.

How Do I Install It?
Download attached file (download.php). You will need to edit some things on top of the file, fairly self explanatory. Then upload the file to the same folder where your vbulletin is installed. Now you can provide download links to your members such as:
http://www.yoursite.com/forums/downl...y_material.zip
Please note that filename can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores.

How Can I Thank You For This Hack?
1. Click the install button.
2. Go to my forums (http://forums.cgshock.com) and register and activate your account.\
Thanks.

Help! This doesn't work.
If something doesn't work post your problem here and I will try to help you get it working. Any support requests outside of this thread (whether pm, im, email, etc) will be IGNORED.

Enjoy.

Well you said to, "Upload the file to where the vbulletin is installed," and I thought you meant the download files. Sorry, it was a bit late when I read it.

I have it working to a point, it does not like pdf files, do I need to zip them up....

The download.php should be placed in your vb folder (can be placed elsewhere, but then you would need to change the require('./global.php'); line a bit). The actual download material files should be placed in a non web accessible location; and that location is specified on top of the download.php file.

Hmm, pdf files... sorry i can't really think of much. It could be something with web server configuration, could be just how PDF files are made - most likely the former though. If someone can confirm that, it would be nice. For the time being it might be a good idea to just zip them (the file will provide a download box either way and not show it in the browser, so might as well cut down the download size a bit).

Doesn't work with PhotoShop PSD files either.

www.phparena.net but that's a lot of files for one simple task

Maybe we could integrate it?

Excellent, I love it. Now everyone who tries to leech my files won't be able to.

They'll have to register.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
