This simple trick can help increase search engine exposure and show potential members what they can get when they register.

Open modules/Downloads/index.php

Find....(its toward the bottom of the file)

Code:

case "getit":     getit($lid);     break;

Replace with....

Code:

case "getit":     if (is_user($user)) {         getit($lid);     } else {         $pagetitle = "- "._RESTRICTEDAREA;         include("header.php");         OpenTable();         echo "<center><b>"._RESTRICTEDAREA."</b></center><br>";         echo "<center>"._GOBACK."</center>";         CloseTable();         include("footer.php");         die();     }     break;

Thats all! Now you can open up your downloads module to all users but only members will be able to download.
