Hi All,

I don't want the regular users to download a certain type of files from the forum, such as .png, but allow them to upload it and download other types of files. Could you please tell me if I could do this? In addition, it will be better if some appointed user groups are able to download this kind of files , such as Modertators and Administrators. Thank you!

Go here: AdminCP > Attachments > Attachment Permissions

There you can setup specific permissions per usergroup per file type.

Thanks Steve!

It doesn't work though. If set to no, then the specified usergroup will not be allowed to upload this attachment. But what i want is to forbid them to download the attachment. Does it need some code modification or not?

Thanks again.

Probably would need a code modification of some sort. I would do this mod for you but I am very limited on time right now.

Thanks sooo much. It's ok. I can wait patiently. Thanks Steve.

If you only want staff to be able to download a file, then I'd suggest posting said files in a staff forum.

Actually, we have some customers who will upload their sample files to the forum. So we don't want other regular users to see and download those files.
