Hi Guys!

Im a total newbie so plz be very patient and easy with me

Here's what Im trying to do.

I havea website where ppl can download applications but what I want to do is only allow my registered users to be able to download. Here's what I mean

When they click on "Download" link to go to that page and download whatever they like, I want that link to take them through a log in process and once they've logged in I want them to be redirected to that download page. Is this even possible? I know it is if you're poiting them to a specific private forum and Id have to log in first and then get redirected there. But in this case the download page is seperate from the forum I just need them to log in and then get redirected to that page.

Also is it possible to have a few selected threads to show on my home page thats also seperate from the forum but were created on there?


Please let me know if it possible and if it is, then how?


Thank you

yep, go into the login.php page of vbulletin, change the (REDIRECT) into a tag that redirects you to a certain page _X!

But I dont understand, if I change the redirect location, that means whenever anyone logs in its going to take him there?

I only need it to redirect those who click on that specific link.

If u can plz explain a little mroe detailed, Im so new...


Sorry for being such a pain in the nack
