Crediti e Informazioni Postnuke

*************************************************************
* designed for : PostNuke 0.750 Gold or higher
* version : 2.2
*************************************************************

Install
-------
1. uncompress the archive.
the archive structure should look like that:
UpDownload\->....

2. Use a ftp client to upload the UpDownload-directory to your "PostNuke"/modules directory.

3. Check permissions
the "UpDownload/store_folder", "UpDownload/shots" and "UpDownload/shots/thumbs" has to have writeperms for your http-daemon
( with "chmod 0777 store_folder" it will definetly work - but quite unsecure
check out if 0770 will do it ...)
!!!!! ATTENTION !!!
* CHMODing a folder to 0777 could prove a huge security hole, so I'm not taking any responsibilities here. Use at your own risk.
* Do not mess in the store_folder through ftp/ssh ... let the script do it; or the DB and the folder gets out of sync
example:
drwxrwxr-x 4 apache apache 4096 Jul 22 09:30 store_folder
This allows the webserver to write to the directory and all users to read
the directory. Without the executable switch, there is no listing.

4. Go on with the normal initialisation you do for every new module through postnuke

5. Add UpDownload to your MainMenu:
click Administration >> click Blocks >> click [Edit] link for Main Menu block
find the old 'Downloads' title. The URL will read [Downloads]. Change it to [UpDownload]
(or for some users to "index.php?name=UpDownload")
click the commit changes button at the bottom of the page

Screenshots for Downloads:
--------------------------
The UpDownload Module allows to use screenshots
This installation has an additional image folder "UpDownload/shots",
that's where your current screenshot has to be uploaded to.
(You need at least a thumbnail.Supported filetypes are listed in config.php->$screenshot_extensions)

How to add a screenshot to a specific link ?
Make a standard screenshot of the link you would like to add a screenshot to,
write down the link id and save the screenshot in "UpDownload/shots"
using the id number.
Example:
Download-id = 15 (see Updownload-admininterface->Download-list)
Copy your screenshot to "UpDownload/shots" and rename it to "15.jpg" (if you made a JPG)
Copy a thumbnail of that screenshot to "UpDownload/shots/thumbs" and rename it to "15.jpg"
You have to save at least a thumbnail in "UpDownload/shots/thumbs"!

Permissions:
------------

Userpermissions:

If you want users to upload files with admin approval use (only add, no category choosen)
(Group) | UpDownload::Add | :: | Add

If you want to give the users permissions to choose the category for the upload use
(Group) | UpDownload::Category | Cat_Name::Cat_ID | Add
(Group) | UpDownload::Add | :: | Add

Adminpermissions:

If you want users to upload files without admin approval use (uploading to all categories is possible)
(Group) | UpDownload:: | :: | Add

If you want to hide categories for upload only use
(Group) | UpDownload::Category | Cat_Name::Cat_ID | Comment or
(Group) | UpDownload::Category | Subcat_Name::Subcat_ID | Comment
before
(Group) | UpDownload:: | :: | Add

If you want to hide categories for upload and disallow comments use
(Group) | UpDownload::Category | Cat_Name::Cat_ID | Read or
(Group) | UpDownload::Category | Subcat_Name::Subcat_ID | Read
before
(Group) | UpDownload:: | :: | Add

If you want to hide categories for all users use
(Group) | UpDownload::Category | Cat_Name::Cat_ID | None or
(Group) | UpDownload::Category | Subcat_Name::Subcat_ID | None
before
(Group) | UpDownload:: | :: | Add

If you want users to modify or delete downloads use
(Group) | UpDownload:: | :: | Delete

to hide categories here work like the same way in the examples above

To modify a download you first must klick on the editicon at the download or
by the editicon or deleteicon in the listallview of the administration

To give someone permission to admin the Categories you have to use
(Group) | UpDownload::Category | :: | Admin

The rest should only work with
(Group) | UpDownload:: | :: | Admin

I hope so ... ;-)


Still problems ?
----------------
Read the _whole_ homepages of UpDownload:
http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/jens.goebbert/index.html
or
http://www.petzi-juist.de
Check it out if your PHP runs in save_mode!
If your PHP-Server runs in SAVE_MODE you better change $secure_download
in Download-Configuration to "0" before you create any category.
UpDownload will not really work if safe_mode is On.

Enjoy.
