To do that, I have been thinking of the following.
- John is a member of group blue, with moderator Jack
- Pam is a member of group red, with moderator Sam

John pay slip will be located in <path to download folder>/blue/salary/john/
Pam pay slip will be located in <path to download folder>/red/salary/pam/
blue and red are actually the group name
salary is a category name
john and pam are username

Do you think this is feasible and which files should i look at modifying to do such a thing (dynamically generate the path)?

Thanks

All files probably, mostly downloads.php, but this isn't how DownloadsII is designed. It's a downloads manager, not a salary tool.

I dont want to exclude people from seeing the categories, but i dont want them to see files in the categories, until i place them in a new usergroup.

Thanks in advanced.

Open downloads.php

Find

PHP Code:

$result = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_cats WHERE ".$catexclude." parent = '0' ORDER BY ".$dl->order); 


Replace with

PHP Code:

$result = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_cats WHERE parent = '0' ORDER BY ".$dl->order); 


Open includes/class_downloads.php

Find

PHP Code:

$result = $db->query_read("SELECT `name`,`id` FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_cats WHERE ".$catexclude." `parent`=".$db->sql_prepare($id)." ORDER BY ".$this->order);
