I've had no problems protecting the folder that contains my product (an on-line course). However, I want to have two types of subscription to it: 1) individuals can buy a subscription to the product by credit card (the target file is /protected/index.htm) 2) organisations can subscribe to the product and pay a fee at the end of the month based on the number of their people that access the product. In effect, under option (2) an individual would need "free" access to the product and to get their user name and password without having to pay anything. I've tried using a "gateway" page to make option (2) work. In other words, say option (1) takes paying customers straight to /protected/index.htm, I've created an html page called /protected/yourcourse.htm as a separate free product which contains a link to index.htm itself. However, when I do this and try to follow the log-in link to yourcourse.htm I get an 'access denied' message. I can still access index.htm via a 'paid' subscription. My reason for wanting to do it this way is that the on-line course is a product I've paid someone to originate. It's in several parts and all the internal links include the full server path. So if I was to take the obvious route and put a copy of the course in a new folder, the course wouldn't work -- or it would try to redirect the user to a directory for which they had no access. I don't want to have to pay for a separate version of the course if I can avoid it, just so it can go in a different folder. Any ideas?
It is easier, just set the same URL in Product settings for second product. Also, make sure you edit permissions at aMember CP -> Protect Folders. This error message appears because access to the folder is not allowed to second product.
