Thanks you guys for the help!! I'm referring to the subscription module that comes with 4.1.12. It's not an extra mod I purchased or anything, it comes already installed. I use it for access to paid areas of my site. I have subscriber only (static) pages that need to be protected as well as my custom links on the product detail page that allow instant download to a subscriber. I've set the subscriptions up as a product ($productid) that renews on a scheduled basis.

I suspect that you are trying to do a simple if-then on variables that do not exist without a mod of the php file.

Yes, I think that this is where the problem is.

The debug window that comes up displaying all the variables shows you everything that is available in smarty for that page.

What I found were variables that I had already tried to use for the if/then statement. Here's the last one I tried:

 
{if $subscriptionid eq '1'}
please upgrade to download content free!
{elseif $subscriptionid eq '2' or $subscriptionid eq '3'}
download me!
{else}
We're sorry, you don't have the correct subscription type to access this content.  Please make sure you are logged in correctly.
{/if}

In the debug window (from the tip) I saw variables like:

 
{$sub_status} Array (3)
0 => "Active"
1 => "Unsubscribed"
2 => "Disabled" 
{$subscription_search} Array (3)
search_productid => ""
search_producttitle => ""
search_customerlogin => "" 
{$subscriptions_info} Array (3)
0 => Array (10)
  productid => "9"
  pay_period_type => "Monthly"
  product => "Choice Plus Subscription"
  subscribers_num => "0"
  customers => false
1 => Array (10)
  productid => "12"
  pay_period_type => "Annually"
{$subscription} Array (0) 
{$user_membership} "Platinum 6" 
{$user_subscription} "" 
{$users_online} Array (1)
0 => Array (3)
  usertype => "C"
  count => "2"
  is_registered => "Y" 
{$usertype} "C" 
 

of course this is a shortened list. So what I meant by seeing variables I had already tried was that the variables shown ie: $subscription, $user_subscription, productid, pay_period_type, $subscriptions_info, $sub_status etc. where what I'd already tried with the code above in blue.

I'm familiar with php and queries, but only when the code is already written, meaning I can understand and move it around once it exists. I don't know how to write a brand new query.

you need to update the php to query the database to make the variables available to you

This is EXACTLY what I think is missing in order for the request above to work. However, I don't know how to do so. I've tried imitating some of the membership queries (tags, smarty code or whatever they're called) but have had no luck. Shouldn't there be something I can add to include/check_useraccount.php or another php or tpl file? Something like this?

$subscription = $user_subscription['subscription'];

Or something similiar?

Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it. I'll keep trying.
