[Solved] Front-End Uplaod: category/section dropdown empty

[Solved] Front-End Uplaod: category/section dropdown empty

Postby moe on 30 Nov 2009, 11:37

Hi -

Found nothing in doc/forum. Having difficulty with front end user upload, which is enabled. I've created sections and categories (both public and registered) but they don't appear in front end drop-down menu's for registered user. Any ideas?

Thanks
m.

Hi, you need to set permissions for the category. Go to category in admin and set who can upload files into this category.

Thank you Jan!

I assumed the Category 'access level' set at Public would override 'Upload rights' settings. Initially, for site dev I wanted all users to have upload rights but that wasn't an option so I left the Upload rights settings alone. Though, I see why this is a great feature for when it goes live. Great work on both Download and PG.

Cheers,
m.

Hi, category access level means, users can see the category
user upload means user can upload into this category

I'm really sorry, but I tried your suggestions and selected the users that are allowed to upload into a category. However I still do not see any files that were previously uploaded from the back end into those categories.

Thanks for helping out. Phoca is a great set of tools!
