(Solved) Download and upload for specific users

Good morning everyone,

I am using Joomla 1.6 and Phoca Download 1.3.6. I am trying to setup a simple dropbox on our server as we are having issues with moving large files via email. The idea is to have one drop box per department each with a single username and passwd.

I setup a section called "dropbox" and added three categories for three departments. You can login and see only the categories you should see (your department) but only the first user that I created. All other users get the following error when they try to see the category files.

PHOCADOWNLOAD_NO_RIGHTS_ACCESS_CATEGORY

Oddly, if you then click up one level and try to view the category again, it works perfectly. I configured all the files, sections, categories as "Registered" access.

Any help would be appreciated, nt sure just what to try next.

After upgrading to 1.3.7 to solve my language issue, the error I now get is the correct one.

"You have no rights to access this category"

But I should have rights as I have the perms set as "Registered" in the file, the section, and the category. Only this user's category is being displayed, and if I go one level up and then click on the category again, everything works.

Figured it out reading this... viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5414#p25812 Thanks Jan for taking the time to post a solution and a explanation for the rest of us. :twisted:
