I have a similar post on the board but and the rokDownloads plugin is recommended. But [edit] while that works for managing downloads, I'm needing to restrict access?
I'm trying do deliver something similar to RT (for distributing audio tracks and instead though). But like RT, I'd like the downloads page restricted so only certain users can access it. I'd also like a forum that's only accessible to those same users. I don't want to give those users editor/publisher privileges in the user manager. I'm confused about which combination of components accomplish this. I see RT has similar functionality and I'm not wanting to reinvent the wheel. Any advice is appreciated.
