Hi,
We are currently creating a information website with the TerranTribune template.
We have a category named Whitepapers where we place some text and a link to, in this case a pdf file. Now we want users to leave there company, name, phone number and e-mail address before they can download a whitepaper. We want to keep this a simple as possible so they don't have to create a member account. But we want to keep this option open if they want to receive news letters.
Is this possible with a standard future in joomla or are there other ways.
Thanks in advance

Seems the easiest way to do this would be to have users register to access the white papers.
Even if you link the download to the PDF to a form, after they fill out a form and it redirects them to a link to download, they'd have to enter the info again if they wanted another form...
So, you'd need a form for each file that users would want to download, and again, users would need to enter their info each time they wanted to DL a new PDF.
So IMO, registration seems to be the best option. - Thanks,
jim

Well, you could publish a login module on a download menu, then set some of your content to registered users.
When they register they'll be redirected but you can redirect them to the download page. - Thanks,
