Volumetric light through transparent texture

Support Lighting and Rendering
1

Hi everyone,
I wonder if there`s a way to make volumetric light ( spotlight halo ) pass through a transparent areas of texture. I tried many different combinations of settings of lamp and material with that texture but all i got was circle of light visible through cracks in texture without any rays getting through. If anyone tried this and succeeded, please share your experiences.

if that fails, i think you’ll have to do it via geometery.
