Restricting access to the url link of a pdf file.

Restricting access to the url link of a pdf file. was created by fewgoodmen
I am trying to restrict access to a pdf file using the CBSUB but it is not working

While you may not be able to access the joomla page if you know the URL to the pdf file then anyone can see it.

How do I fix that

Is the pdf located in your Joomla install somewhere? Like images/ for example? Place your PDF in a folder inside your Joomla install then place a .htaccess file with the below contents in the same folder to htaccess protect it.

deny from all

If you want to protect it using CBSubs then you need to install the CBSubs folderaccess plugin and specify the absolute path to the pdf folder. You then need to trigger the subscription at least once for it to create the files (subscribe to the plan, then login via frontend, it should protect it then).

It's included with your CBSubs package. Please see your CBSubs documentation for usage information.

I set up the folder access, restriction working but new member subscribe to the plan cannot access the folder. Did what you said subscribe and then login from the front-end still don't work.

Check your folder and ensure it has its htaccess and htpasswd files. If it does not then the protection hasn't triggered or you may have supplied an invalid directory path. You need to supply path to the folder from your hosts root. You should see a folder access check after saving your plan on the folder access tab on your plan.
