Project: ionFiles - Joomla Simple File Download

[rtownley]

I am a new Joomla user and wondering if anyone can help with my problem.

I'm trying to add a small amount of security to the simple download component, wanting public users to only see a couple categories while registered users can view all categories and downloads.

Menu link = Public
Category I want public = Public
Download I want public = Public
Category I want private = Registered
Download I want private = Registered

That's how I have it set, however, as a guest I can view ALL categories and ALL downloads. Am I missing something?

Hey rtownely,
I'll look into this, the feature may have never been implemented because I don't remember ever working with permissions. One of those things that just slipped my mind.....

I wonder is it possible to add uploads such mp3 directly to some folder and that is it ?

so basicly i dont have to add file by file ?

[Jordan]

Yes, just add the directory and set it as a Link. It should work fine because this component will simply forward the user to that address when set as a link.

In backend Cancel button not working when no Tilte or Name is given, message 'File must have a name'

Request for:

Make category linkable:
Usage:
I am a math instructor have my class syllabus and weekly homework posted online for student to download, I have created a menu link to ionFiles called Courses and would like to be able to create sub-menu links to each category/course example: Basic math, Pre-Algebra and Beginning Algebra.

Make each Category hide and expand, example if Basic math category is selected not to display other categories.

That is not a bad suggestion and it will be included in the next release. I'll try to get the next release out in two weeks when I return to the states. Thanks!

Hey all, i just installed ionfiles..and have been adding files for download to the categories i made. Now somehow in the backend i only get to see the first 30 files, while i have added more than 30! The next button is not clickable..and when pressing show 50 results i get a blank page..where did the 30+ files go to??

Sorrryyyy for my double post..but another problem appeared while testing it. Im trying to add ed2k Links for download, usually when clicking the link it starts downloading right away..now i get an error page (internet explorer can not display this page). This happends only with Internet Explorer!

File URL: ed2k link
File Download: No (tried all options actually)

Anyone has an idea?
When i add the link to application URL it does work, but then it has to go through the More link

Can you post a link to your download section?
