XF 2.1 A way to force guests to register before being able to complete a specific action

[entelechy]

I've got a popular thread which is being shared in social media which is giving away some python scripts I built via a download link (zippyshare).

Is there any way to force guests who click on the download link to be prompted to register before they can download? I'm not sure if this kind of functionality would be outside of what's possible without some serious customization

There's this -> https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xenmax-hide-link-with-guests.5917/

I don't know if it's compatible with 2.1 though. Might want to install on a test forum first to check

With permissions ?
If you block downloading by guests they will be invite to register when they click on attachment.

Or maybe you want to block downloading only in a certain thread ?

Can confirm this works fine on 2.1 - Thanks Brad + Paul R (dev)

I'm getting a server error though:

Template error: parse_url() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

Has anyone dealt with this before? I'm not sure of the array it could be talking about? @Paul R

I don't think he's around anymore. There's several other add-ons that do the same thing for cheap. Search the Xenforo 2 add-ons area.

Your best bet is this one -> https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xenconcept-hide-links-medias-images-bbcode-to-guests.5732/

That one seems to be unsupported. This one is supported and is only $15
