Force registration for free products

Hi,

I would like to offer free enticers, but would like people to register before getting the product. Is this possible with Hikashop?

Regards

Ic

Jerome,

Thanks for the reply.

I have this setting set to "Registration".

Maybe I wast not so clear about my problem initially. I have an online store with products that I want to sell on the internet. I would also like to offer free products (programs) for download and would like the user to download it without going throught the entire checkout process, but before they download it they will need to register on Hikashop.

Is this possible to do?

Regards

IC

Jerome,

Thanks for the answer.

I do not have PHP skill though and also do not know the hikashop architecture. Can you give a few pointers, please.

Regards

Dear Nicolas,

we tried to do what you describe above but unfortunatelly we are still getting pars error. Could you be a little more specific on where and how to add this code:

<?php $user =& JFactory::getDBO();
if(user->guest) return; ?> 

<?php

/**
 * @package	HikaShop for Joomla!
 * @version	2.2.0
 * @author	hikashop.com
 * @copyright	(C) 2010-2013 HIKARI SOFTWARE. All rights reserved.
 * @license	GNU/GPLv3 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
 */


defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?><div id="hikashop_product_files_main" class="hikashop_product_files_main">
	<?php
	if (!empty ($this->element->files)) {
		$skip = true;
		foreach ($this->element->files as $file) {
			if ($file->file_free_download)
				$skip = false;
		}
		if (!$skip) {
			global $Itemid;
			$url_itemid='';
			if(!empty($Itemid)){
				$url_itemid='&Itemid='.$Itemid;
			}

Hi,

First of all, you have to use the php tags only if you are not in a php area in your file.
And Nicolas just forgot a "$", the code to use is:

$user = JFactory::getDBO();
if($user->guest) return;

Dear Xavier,

we have implemented the code in following way:

<?php

/**
* @package HikaShop for Joomla!
* @version 2.2.0
* @author hikashop.com
* @copyright (C) 2010-2013 HIKARI SOFTWARE. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU/GPLv3 www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
*/

$user = JFactory::getDBO();
if($user->guest) return;

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?><div id="hikashop_product_files_main" class="hikashop_product_files_main">
<?php
if (!empty ($this->element->files)) {
$skip = true;
foreach ($this->element->files as $file) {
if ($file->file_free_download)
$skip = false;
}
if (!$skip) {
global $Itemid;
$url_itemid='';
if(!empty($Itemid)){
$url_itemid='&Itemid='.$Itemid;
}
?>

But still if I try to download a "free" product as unregistered user it lets me download it without registration.

Try it yourself: www.sciencedynamics.net/index.php/en/sho...oduct/15-test-zdarma

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Are you sure that you edited the good show_block_product_files file of the product view of your front-end template that you are currently using ?

Well, there's only one file of that name on our server located in /home/.../public_html/components/com_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/show_block_product_files.php

after adding the code you have created at the beginning of the file, nothing happens - unregistered user still can access the file.

The code is here:
<?php
$user = JFactory::getDBO();
if($user->guest) return;
/**
* @package HikaShop for Joomla!
* @version 2.2.0
* @author hikashop.com
* @copyright (C) 2010-2013 HIKARI SOFTWARE. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU/GPLv3 www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
*/
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?><div id="hikashop_product_files_main" class="hikashop_product_files_main">
<?php
if (!empty ($this->element->files)) {
$skip = true;

Let us know what to do, pls.
Best,
Mark

Hi,

The code to use is:

$user = hikashop_loadUser();
if($user == null) return;
