I'm using the flashback skin.

Is there a way in JR5 to set up a quota/profile type that would only allow streaming but not downloading?

I have to enable downloading for one group of members but it would sure be an awesome thing if there was a way to set up a quota or profile that when logged in could only stream a song and not be able to download it.

The option now seems to be an all or none option.... :(

I can already tell this is going to be a make or break option for me. I have DJ's who I want to have free access to listen and download for free but I also have artists who want to be able to see beyond the first page of the site....

You would need to edit the audio templates where the download button shows for this. Something like -

{if $_user.profile_quota_id == x}
    // Download button code here
{/if}

where 'x' is the ID of the quota who is allowed downloads.
Let me know if you need more specific help with this.

Looks simple but I know it's not.. so would I start just before the download block code or below it?

First thing I like to do when trying to figure out where to put something new in is to put:
WHERE AM I?
or
THIS IS HERE!!!
or
ELEPHANTS
into the place im interested in. Then check the location that I expect to see that, if it comes out where I expect it then I know I'm editing in the right location.

Only after I KNOW I'm editing the right location do I try to figure out the right code for what I'm trying to do.

Also make sure your site is in Developer Mode when doing template work so that changes show immediately-
ACP=>Developer=>Global

Thanks @paul and @michael !

@michael I always ask my wife each morning [ 1 WHAT DAY IS IT ] but I don't think that is going to help me in this... :)

when she replies "Its my birthday" you know your in trouble if you had to ask. :)

So once you know where you are, then its just step by step until you get to where you need to go.

* I know where I am
* I know what I want to put here
* I have the correct code
* I have implemented it
* I have checked it
* do something else.
