I want to be able to offer a White Paper on a Joomla website. This is
how it would work. Visitors to the website (non-registered guests)
would be encouraged to fill out a form with some basic information and
then be able to download a PDF White Paper.
Ideally, it would not only allow the visitor to download the White
Paper PDF, but also send an e-mail message with a link to download the
PDF too. But don't want the URL to the PDF used without visitors
filling out the form. So maybe it would create a temporary URL that
would expire soon like 24-hours? I'm thinking a PHP script executed to
send the PDF to the visitor's web browser would be good, because this
way Google Analysts could report on the download. Need some method to
store the collected basic information too.
If there is already a module to do this in Joomla, please be so kind
to share it with us, I imagine others may have a use for this. I
don't want this to be annoying for the visitors to use, but there
needs to be data collected.
If folks have a better suggestion as to how to handle this I'm open to
suggestions. I realize there might be something that does part of what
I'm asking and I might have to adapt it. I wanted to keep this all
within Joomla. It wouldn't be too difficult to link to a PHP program
to do this, but I'd like to keep it all within Joomla so it flows with
the rest of the website. Thanks!
