UpDownload 2.3 & 0.762 - permissions on categories  Bottom

  • Using UpDownlaod, I'm having trouble with it's permissions. New users are added to "New Users". When approved, they are moved to "Users".

    I want to give access to some downloads, but not all, for New Users. Here's what I have at the moment:

    Editor UpDownload:: :: Add
    Users UpDownload::Add :: Add
    Users .* .* Comment
    New Users UpDownload::Category Files::3 Read
    New Users UpDownload:: .* None
    Unregistered .* .* None

    (sorry, formatting is stripped by PN)

    Everything works as expected, except New Users, who can't see anything. If I change the permission from None to Read, then they can see all downloads. So it seems that the problem is the permission for UpDownload::Category.

    I presume that the categaory ID is obtained from looking at the link - domain/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=viewdownload&cid=3

    Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
  • From the way that I use UpDownload I place this kind of code in to the permissions area :

    New Users | UpDownload::Category | Name Of My UpDownload Folder | Read

    Instead of using any id numbers I place the name of the UpDownload folder that I want to give them access to.
    This all works fine for me, maybe you could try that instead?

    Best wishes,

  • Thanks. I'll give that a go.

    I read the manual :) which says:

    (Group) | UpDownload::Category | Cat_Name::Cat_ID | Read
  • Hope it worked for you?

    It took me quite a while to figure out exactly what to put in there but you always get there in the end.
    Lots of blood, sweat and tears and sleepless nights later though!!! icon_smile

    Best wishes,

  • Didn't work :(

    I've tried Cat_Name, Cat_Name:, Cat_Name::. None work.
