  Strange problem... I've got downloads 2.4 installed under zikula 1.2.2... installed okay, seems to be fine, but when I go to admin it, add a category, it just reloads the page back at the main admin page of 2.4... ?
  
  Of course I can go into the DB and add the categories that way, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a spiffy GUI admin screen...
  
  Any ideas why it would be doing this?

  Mine was doing the same thing until I paid several hundred dollars to update the theme. Try a default theme and see if it works.

  Does the same thing in the default theme.
  
  I'm not going to pay out money to get this to work... If I can't get it to work, I'll simply not use it. *sigh*
  
  Files 1.1 has some issues as well... as in not being able to set things up on a shared hosting site since part of it needs to be outside the 'HTML' directory. Unless someone can explain it in better english than the docs, I'll have to find some other method to set up a downloads area for my users.

  I had some weird issues like that with Downloads 2.4 until I turned off theme caching for that module. Since then it seems to work reasonably well.

  Make SURE you have cleared out all the caches in the pnTemp folder. Mine works 100% but I guess it all depends on your version of PHP and the theme.

  Yup, totally 100% cleared... I even uninstalled, cleaned everything out (all cache in all locations including my local machine/browser history just to be sure).... then reinstalled clean...
  
  Same issue... Even tried turning on legacy support 'Just In Case' and still no dice.
  
  *sigh*
  
  So... how's Mediashare look? :/

  Downloads need a complete overhowl. It is absolutely not ready for the future. Different options are available to share files for downloads. Here are my three proposals:
  
  Mediashare - is available only define-based but working. the new version will take a while I guess.
  MediaAttach - is working gettext based but not 100% finished (and complicate)
  files- should be the best choice, but unfortunally it is only working with pictures perfectly. But only to offer some downoads, it could be a very good option. Every user can offer one or more public folder to offer some downloadable files.
  
  My recommendation is files (available in extdb), even it it is a very young module...

  well, files 1.1 requires access to the root, which I don't have being on a shared hosting server... Unless the (not really that good English) docs are wrong on that point.
  
  I'll check into MediaAttach as that sounds like the best bet for now... complicated is fine as long as there's documentation and/or all the good folk here with experience to answer questions (and I tend to beat on things until they work... which is usually about 2 hours after I get a headache from working on things. :s)
  
  Thanks for the info! I'll probably be back. :)

  I presume by this you're refering to:
  

  "Files Readme"

  3- The module needs also a file named file.php which must be located in the root of the Zikula installation. This file is needed to get the files from the public directories of the users. You can find this file in the folder modules, so you have to move it.

  
  That refers to the base folder of your Zikula installation, i.e. where your site's index.php file is. In this case, not a matter of poor English at all, as that's the proper term for that location, and what most of us will use in a case like that. If you're talking about where to put the data folders (filesFolder) then it doesn't have to be outside the public folder, it's just best to. And I'd be surprised if you don't have access to create a folder outside the web-visible directory.

  Jorn is no longer working on his modules as I understand, and Mediashare may be DOA now. I definitly would not use it at this point.
