File Permissions - using file manager semi-publicly
Permalink
Hello,
I want to allow users to upload files to my site. I would like users who are registered and in the 'Paid' group to be able to upload files and view all the files of other 'Paid' users, while only being able to Edit their own.
I think I've been able to set all this up right in the backend. I have a test user, in the Paid group, and the Paid group settings in the file manager set up.
My first issue is that the files are simply not uploading. It does some magic in the URL bar, and then refreshes the test page with a Form block for upload. The file never makes it. Their group DOES have Add File permissions...
Secondly, does anyone know the URL/ method a user with privileges to view the File Manager can actually do so?
I triedhttp://www.my_website.com/index.php/dashboard/files... and it prompts me to log in as the admin. I don't see/ know of a File Manager block (lolz) and my_website.com/files shows a blank white screen for both test users of the Paid (authorized) group as well as my admin login.
Any thoughts?
Thanks all! :)
Best,
Joel
