allright if i can find out how to use pm ..
i will ..

i thought this hack would be usefull ...
at least i heard there are some pafiledb users ...

anyway ;)

well installed it.. but when I enter the file archive it keeps on telling me to login.. so I login (again) and it returns me to my formumhome.. then I go back to file archive and I have to login again.......

this login msg covers all of the errors ..
this means ;
if you dont have any cat, file it will show that message again :)

add cats files and retry

this is looking awesome.

before i try/use this, i have some questions:

this looks like i could assign a category to a specific forum on my board and have new files posted as a new thread automagically on submission. is that correct? just as clarification...
which username will the new thread be posted as?
can i set permissions to view/upload/edit downloads/categories per usergroup?

if thats the case, then i'd be most happy to use this...

allright ,

in category options , you can select forums to post msgs about your files which is in that cat .. with this option you can discuss on your files in that thread and also you can rate your file via that thread ..
-> in admin file submissions; thread will contain a link to file which is in file database and "this thread is about $filename blabla" msg. with the name of admin who added
-> in user submissions; thread will contain "tnx for submission $postername blabla" additional to admins submisson. with the name of admin who verified.

as for permissions :
registered users can post file submissions .. and they wont be active till you verify them ..
file upload not implemented for security and abusal reasons..

system a little complicated ...
if you anymore que. post it pls

thats a pity. the ability to have mother forums are what would make it better than anything else ive seen so far, but:

i want to run a database of documents developed by my users, secured by access restrictions and the files itself protected by htacces. this i can only achieve if the files get stored on my server...
so i'd need my users, or better mods to be able to upload, as i certainly dont want to have the work of ftping every file myself into position, and definitely i wont give someone else access to my ftp or the admin cp.

thanks for your good work anyway.

greets

allright document archive under development ..
also a link archive ..
anyway tnx for comments .. forum thingys is good i know ;)

but you have to know that uploading files not easy to integrate in secure way .. also users can abuse this easly .. as it seems you have only problem with linking of files ..

ermm i will consider the special file system for admins/mods..

greetz

thanks a lot

until now i thought that securing your files is relatively easy with a .htaccess like this:

am i wrong in this?

the code you posted for .htaccess to protect file on your server. i mean javascript injections , upload abuse and so ..

as i own a security related community ;
security is the most important thing for me..
also reliability and server usage ..

this means i cant take the responsibility via coding buggy upload feature ..

and one more thing : this hack is maded to cover all the needs of all type of communities .. think on sites with small space and little bandwith ...

but i can think on a upload feature for this hacks future versions

i hope this covers all of your questions . i tried to make it as good as possible
