How to make a public/private downloads install
« on: August 18, 2009, 06:39:39 pm »
Hello,

I'm trying to set up the following:

Forum "Public Downloads", category (downloads) "Public Forms", guest or registered user access to view and download files.

Forum "Private Downloads", category (downloads) "Private Forms", specific group access with all others denied, able to view and download files.

When I try and set this up two things happen.

If I enable "view downloads" for guests when the downloads menu item shows up for non-logged in users in IE8 (it should not, does not show in Mozilla, etc. - bug?) they can browse the "Private" downloads.

If I take the permission away they can't download any files.

Any idea how I make this work?

There are no category level permissions available to me in the Downloads Configuration...Category Permissions Admin area.

I'm running 1.1.10 SMF

You need to enable guests and members the option to download files under admin -> permissions

Then you will need to setup category level permissions on each category that you want to deny access to users.

The only options presented are "view downloads" under "permissions by membergroup".

I set the "Private" downloads category permission to guests & regular users denied, set "view downloads" to "allow" for guests and download category permissions for guests to "view downloads" and "add comments".

There is a new usergroup with permissions to download files & make comments on the "private" category.

The forum permissions are set globally with guest access to the private forum revoked and to the public forum permitted.

Hopefully that is right, seems to work ok.
