Subject: Fetching private files

Hello,

when a user try do access a private page of a dokuwiki, the user gets a polite
Permission Denied
Sorry, you don't have enough rights to continue.

But if the user is given a link to a private file for download, a simple 'Forbidden' is dropped by inc/fetch.functions.php, which is a little bit harsh and not making your wiki very popular. I'm reluctant to modify lib/exe/fetch.php and function checkFileStatus in inc/fetch.functions.php to at least diisplay a link to the login page with a redirect to download the file (my dokuwiki use phpbb authentication method).

Is there a plugin to manage this situation smoothly? Or another solution ?

Thank you, G

how about use the interface of media manager?
the url should be: http://your.wiki/?image=wiki:logo.png&do=media
you need to change the parameter image to the id of the image.
there will be a simple message warn user that they are not allowed to read file,
but there is still no login interface.

i usually create a page contain the image when i upload image,
which contain the basic information about the image.
for your case, guest could see the login interface at the page contain image.
