Hello,

I've created a site where users can share documents online. I'd like to make the upload button visible to anonymous users, but have it so that when they click it, they are redirected to a login/registration page.

I currently have it set so that only authenticated users can create document nodes, which hides the "upload" menu item altogether (because it's connected to the restricted create document node).

Is there a way to make the link visible but the node restricted until login?

Thanks.

There's not a way to do it, but there is a way to make it seem like that's the way that it works. In order to help you, though, I need to know a few more things:

Are you using the core upload module?

What link is available for registered users?

I am using the core upload module along with another module called iPaper, which converts the uploaded document to flash paper via the scribd.com api.

For registered users, a link to the pathauto alias "upload" redirects the user to "node/add/ipaper". This is the link that I would like to have visible to anonymous users, but available only to authenticated users.

Thanks for your help!

Did you ever figure this out? I have a pretty similar question.
