Hi there,
Could you please let me know if ChronoForm6 can be used to download .pdf files online by registered members?
If yes, how to proceed?
Kind regards.

Hi ray,
​
You can use an Event Switcher, If the user is not logged in then show an error message, if they are logged in show a list of download links.

So in your event switcher for the data provider you either do {user:guest} with event choices 1, 0 (1 is guest, 0 is registered).
​
If you want only a certain access level to be able to do it than you need a read data action looking at the user_usergroup_map table, WHERE user_id:{user:id} and group_id:# (replace # with the id number of the access group they should be in) - if found, show the links and if noty found show the error message.
​
As for the content of the links, you can look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/364946/how-to-make-pdf-file-downloadable-in-html-link
​
OR you can make another event, with a download action, with the filename you need passed by URL data. So your link you're showing users to click on would be <a href = "{url:download}&file=the_file_name">Some text here</a>

Thanks GreyHead,
I'm new to CF6 and using the trial version.
Is Event Switcher located in Demos?
If yes, how to link products 1, 2, 3 to .pdf documents?

Thanks healyhatman,
I will give that a go.
