Then things should work. Is your dev forum available? Can you PM me an admin account, password and url? I'll take a look.

David, pls can you upload the attached into your forums dir and let me know

I have this problem...

I would like to hide any new file of a category from the "New Links".

I try to set the hide/unhide button in edit form of the file ... and it works? but the problem is that only the administrators can view the file... simple users can't see this file.

I want to give the authority only in a UserGroup to download these files and the other users just to see the files (not to download).

For Example

Main Category
-->1st Category
--> 1stSubCategory1
--> 1stSubCategory2
--> 1stSubCategory3

-->2nd Category
--> 2ndSubCategory1
--> 2ndSubCategory2
--> 2ndSubCategory3

Now I have 2 groups... the Users and the PowerUsers.

I want to give the permissions to Users and to the PowerUsers to view the list of all the files, but only the PoweUsers can download the files under the category "2nd Category", the "1st Category" can be viewed and downloaded from all the users.

Otherwise, if i add new files under of the category "2nd Category" i don?t want to show it in the "New Links".

I know that?s a difficult problem... but please if someone knows how I can to that please tell me...

Most of the 2 problems that?s important for me is the 2nd .. How can I hide from the "New Links" some files that appear under one category?

Thanks

Choose (or create) one of your board's forums which has the required permissions - i.e. normal users can't access it but power users can.

For those links that you want to be available only to your power users, 'associate' (via the links creation form or via admin/categories/mass edit) these links with this forum.

If you want all users to see the links even if they can't access them, give them can_see_protected_links_on_portal permission via the LDM admin permissions page.

Just spotted something ..

Not sure if this is a bug, by design, or just weirdness going on :)

In the old 3.0 version, if you already had a link and you updated it, it would show as a new link - both on the links page, as well as via the cpms module. (it showed multiple times in the cpms module, once for each cat it was in)

I've just updated a link in the 3.5 version (added the link to another cat) and nothing showed as new, either on the links page or in the cpms "new" module.

Is this by design AndrewD? .. if it is, is there a way/setting to change this behaviour?

I guess the way "I" think it should work is that it shows as new in the cat you've added to the link and not new in all the other cats it's already in. (I know in the 3.0 version it showed it new in all the cats) ..

What do you think?

Thinking about it, I think I suggested, at one point in the 3.0 thread, about having an "Updated" flag against a link if indeed it was updated. Did this ever get added to the system? and if not could it be?

So, in short, could we have an updated link show "Updated" in cats that it's already in .. and also show "New" in cats that it's just been added to. :) (while only showing once in the cmps new module)

As I recall, someone felt that the 3.0 behaviour was not correct so I changed it. But my memory is not what I seem to recall that it used to be (if you follow me).

There is only one timestamp in the database for each link, so the question is whether this gets refreshed when the entry gets edited. Since there is only one timestamp, it's difficult to separate the change in one category from others.

David, did you see my PM?

hmm .. difficult one then :)

Any chance of a on/off type setting for the 2 ways of doing it? either shows as new or not.

or .. have an updated timestamp column in the db table, so you can show both when a link was first added and the last time it was updated .. therefore allowing you to have an "updated" flag against a link. You could then have a setting to allow you to show these links as new or not on both the links page, as well as the cpms module.

You could also have a couple of settings to choose which colour to show these flags .. ie .. have the "new" text show as red .. and the "updated" text show as yellow (as an example)

Just an idea :)

AndrewD thank's for this usefull information, but somethink else can you tell me if I can hide some files from the "New Links" in the main page, not from the users, just in main page. For example if i add a new file in the "2nd Category", i dont want to show it in the "New Links" Module in the main page. See the pictures to understand what i mean.

P.S. Can I install this Mod, two times, my problem exactly is that I have a translation team management site for TV series, so I need to show in the "New Links" only the Greek Translated subs and at the 2nd category the English Subs only for the translators and I dont want to show this subs in the "New Links", but also I want to show the free for traslation English subs for the new users without to belong in a team, your platfrom is great but I have to solve this problem.

I can't figure this out either - how exactly did you find you way around this?

When I got to Admininster > Categories, this is what I see
