Access permission problems

[Arno]

Hi hawker,
have you not seen this post?
http://www.jdownloads.com/forum/index.php?topic=7497.msg29248#msg29248

yes, i have read it, but the problem is:

When i created a download by uploading in the browser, jdownalod set the permission right (Download enabeld), but when i upload a file via ftp and jdownload created the download automatically, he set the wrong permission (Download disabeld).

Permission are inherited, except in the  global configuration, there are downloads enabeld.

Hi Hawker,
please note that in the auto monitoring function is the 'inherit' permission functionality is not complete ready. 
But this should be fixed with next release 3.2.16 very soon (next days). The same for 'batch' actions in the backend items list.

Hi,

I am glad to see this topic has generated quite a bit of interest.

The interesting thing is that while I have set ALLOWED download for Public in Global setting, the permission set for individual downloads in Edit mode is showing Not ALLOWED. How could this be happening? In other words, it is not adhering to global setting.

Another problem I have is that the message 'Only registered and logged in users can download files from this category.' appears on the listing page before the user has even clicked on download button or attempted to see the detailed page (For your information, all categories and downloads set to Public). The listing page has to look normal for public users, and the message has to appear after the user has attempted to download; how can we rectify this issue?

Regards,
Amir

In jD 3.2.15 (& jD 2.5.15) the cascading of privileges from parent to child only works for new categories and downloads, so existing ones could be different.  You need to set these manually.

I have exactly the same problem but more interesting I noted that if I try to change permission from inherited to allowed for existing categories I get and error message. see pictures. Further more I wanted to test something that colin said

At the present time you have to do it manually with old categories and downloads.  New categories and downloads do 'cascade' permissions.

So I created a 2 new categories test category I created set the permission to allowed and saved it. Second test category 2 I created but did not touch any permission. ftp two mp3 on each directory auto monitoring is set to yes. but when I try to download these file still only for registered user. so the only way is to set individual permission to each mp3 file to allowed.

Hi water,

o I created a 2 new categories test category I created set the permission to allowed and saved it.

When you create a new item (category or download) you MUST first save the category to see the inherited permissions. This is very important.
The next beta version will view a special hint about this!

I check in the moment your backend...

Edit:
- please send me login data for your DB via PM
- when i create now (with the latest version 3.2.15) a new download, he inherited the 'download' rules from the category without any problems.
So we must only change the old downloads.

Hi water,
i have fixed it now in your db with a query like this:

Code Select Expand

UPDATE `xxx_assets`
SET rules = '{"core.create":[],"core.delete":[],"core.edit":[],"core.edit.state":[],"core.edit.own":[],"download":{"1":1}}'
WHERE `name` LIKE '%jdownloads.download%'


The first value in: download":{"1":1} is the ID from your public user group and the second value activate this action.
Please note:
- your website is very, very slow for a 'download' area. 
- you must change some php settings (see pic)
- you must also set higher the memory_limit !!
- USE NOT AUTO MONITORING OR 'BATCH OPERATIONS' UNTIL YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE NEXT BETA 3.2.16!!
