Hello,
I want to share a file to a user.
How can I configure it?
Example:
Per joomla user I would like to assign 1 to x documents.
User Ruth has can download documents 1 and 3,
Users Jason has can download documents 2 and 4. best regards Marcus
Hi,
you can omly use the access view levels from Joomla and create additionals here. Please read also the examples in the documentation about ACL handling.
Hi
Thought I would add a bit of guidance
Create user Groups (UG) RuthUG and JasonUG each with parent as the Registered UG
Create jD Categories RuthCat and JasonCat
Set Download permission in RuthCat for RuthUG to Allowed, leave all others at Inherited and Save - do not use Deny as it will cause unintended consequences due to inheritance rules
Then do similar for JasonCat with the JasonUG
Create Downloads in relevant category.
Make sure you do not have the Public UG for thaes categories set to inheried, and ensure all the component permissions (accessed via Options button on jD Control panel) are set to Inherited for all UGs.
If you have a public section the create a category for that and set permissions for Pbulic UG to alloed

HI,
Thank you for the info.
I have already thought that this is "so cumbersome" to solve.
In the earlier version of jDonloads to Joomla 1.6 you could solve this more easily.
I load from a offline database (Checkin software) certain member data directly into the joomla database the funktinoniert as far as. Now also some documents as for example Trainningsplan as PDF file only for the respective member to be uploaded.
Now my program would have to also create the user group with the appropriate rights.
Does anyone have an idea about an equivalent Joomla module?
Or a module for a download area, which works as the "old" version to Joomla 1.6 and jdownloads? Or an alternative?
Hi
The solution I suggested is the general solution. However there is an alternative which relies on using the jD 'List my Downloads' menu item which you can use to only show the Downloads that were 'created' by the user. There is a facility to change the creator when the Download is Created or Edited.
However it would be wise to put those Downloads in a jD Category that only allows the Registered UG permission to Download and also to set view access to Registered. The menu item, 'list my downloads' should also only have Registered view access. Your Public Downloads, if any, would be in a separate jD category.
