disallow direct url access to a registered user document - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-

i aware question has sort of been answered before suggestion of using docman hoping simpler solution.

i have series of static pages set registered in joomla admin have links both word , pdf documents on these pages located in images/doc/#### folder.

i want registered users able access these files download. not want files downloaded via direct url - i.e htttp://www.mysite.com/images/doc/###/word/nameoffile.doc non registered user might have been given correct url.

i know docman suitable - on complecated needs , if protect folder direct access non registred users do.

i suppose password protect relevant folder using .htaccess , place documents want registred users access in it. means registered user have enter 2 passwords - 1 login joomla , 1 static password access registered files download.

is there simpler solution problem other having install docman?

perhaps there way of protecting contents of folder direct request allowing contents of folder downloaded via direct click regsitered user protected page - or other similar solution.

this seems oversite in terms of 'out of box' standard functionality on otherwise superb application joomla, have been impressed user year now.

thanks in advance help....
