Re: how can my members get a free download file AUTOMATICALLY up

I'm not sure how to execute abitrary PHP code (either through a module or otherwise) after a user registers but running the function:

<?php
_user_table_action('allow', $fid, $uid);
?>

where $fid is the file id of the file in the uc_files table and $uid is the user id in the user table, will give the user the file specified by fid without having to mess with the cart or checkout.

Re: cool .... but where?

It's not as simple as just placing the code, you'll need to extract the values of fid and uid within your block. Calling global $user and finding through SQL the value of fid (from the uc_files table) for your particular download.

Your best bet is to write a new module that hooks into hook_user, I think. Basically upon new user registration the module will get called and the file download gets generated (the fid, uid and pfid get added to uc_file_users table).
