Solved!!! Visible but restricted download? was created by ruud68
Hi,
I am working on a set of whitepapers. Part of them are free, part of them are subject to a subscription (registered account).
I have 2 categories: 'whitepapers free' and 'whitepapers paid'.
I have two Joomla groups and ACL's: Whitepapers free (for public) and Whitepapers paid (for registered users)
When visiting the site as a guest I can see the whitepapers free category, when logging in I can see both the categorie whitepapers free and whitepapers paid.
This is NOT what I want...
As a visitor I want to see ALL whitepapers, but I mustn't be able to download the whitepapers assigned to category whitepapers paid (no download button, or download button grayed out).
This way I (as a visitor) can see everything there is and if there are whitepapers that I want but that are not downloadable I know I need to subscribe (and pay).
How can I configure eDocman to enable this use case?
