If you set this at all, it should be set to the name of a directory. local_file_root tells the code where to find the directory.

If local_file_root=0, then setting monitor_dir (e.g.) to /downloads would tell the code to base its scans on http://yoursite/downloads

If local_file_root=1, then you might set moitor_dir (e.g., on a windows m/c) to d:/websites/yoursite/downloads

Upgraded successfully after upgrading to 3.0.7 as well, works fine.

Well, you forgot to phrase two of the most visible words :)

PHP Code:
<tr align="center">
    <td class="tcat" align="center" width="20%"><strong>Entry</strong></td>
    <td class="tcat"><strong>&nbsp;Description</strong></td>
</tr>

Why do I feel as if you wanted to find these! :speechless: Will fix when I get back home. Thanks.

If you want to apply this condition to every new file you make available, then on the links admin page, you set that forum to be the default forum for new links/categories.
The problem with this methodology appears to be that you still end up hiding the fact there is anything to download from the user. The unregistered user either can't see it or they see a link in another forum they can't access. So in the first scenerio, why would they do anything, the assumption is going to be there is nothing to download. The second scenerio would end up turning on the hidden links so you end up with two forums with the same stuff in them.

Why not base this on the grup attachment properties. Consider a link to a file the same thing as a physical attachment, because in essence it really is that. So if it's clicked, and the usergroup doesn't have permission to download attachment the permission error is generated?

Quite a number of the recent questions have been about this or related points of visibility versus access. I understand that others may want to use the availability of downloads to attract new people to register. However, this hack was written from a different perspective, which is to offer different types of document to different user communities, one public, the other fee paying. In our case, most of those who are in the public category do not have the option (because of the nature of the association I run) to become fee paying (& so we hide the register button from them), and should not know that the other documents exist.

So the design objective was to build all access permissions on the forums permissions system for VB. That way, links and posts become equivalent, either fully visible or invisible, according to usergroup. There are one or two minor adjustments to that (i.e the can_see_protected_links_on_portal permission), to meet a particular user need. The decision was taken way back, and it would require a complete overhaul of the code to change it.

To add another perspective - in my case I absolutely don't want unregistered and even general registered users to know that I'm offering stuff for download (it's mostly articles and documents). The permission system as it is now is perfect for me. :)

Hi,

Is there a way we can make it so users MUST register on the forum to download files? I just checked, and a guest can download a file without registering :(
