Title: How to give permission "publish" to editors
Post by: ha on 10.09.2015 10:38:16
Hi there,

jDownloads Version 3.2.36

Our editors are allowed to upload things in various jdownloads categories. But when they create new downloads, they remain in state "unpublished". They should have the permission to publish their (and all other) downloads, or even better, the downloads should be published automatically.

In Joomla-Admin -> Users -> Groups -> Options -> JDownloads -> Editor the permission "Edit State" is set to true.

In JDownlodas-Admin -> Categories -> Name -> bottom the permission for editor -> edit state is always allowed.

I already read the following articles:

Regards,
H

Hi
In User Groups Settings int the Group Creation/Editing Settings tab there is a tick box "Publish New Downloads".  You should set that for your 'uploader' user groups.

Please make sure there is a sufficiently high Ranking value eg 123 set (its set near top left of main part of form)

Thanks, it works now!

This option (along with the maximum upload size option) is hidden very well, you should consider optimizing the admin interface here.

For the file size problem it would be nice to have a reference here: http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/how-can-i-upload-bigger-files
