Hi,
I have set all Categories and Downloads to Public. Also, I have given Public group tons of limits for activities (see image 1). The same goes for Global config. for Public set to Download ALLOWED (image 2). Still when I enter any of the categories, I get the message that 'you need to login to be able to download'; why is this happening?
Regards,
Amir

See your third image. You have not defined any default settings for the jD component (first row).
See the example below.
Can it be that you have not read the hints about this in the documentation? :-\

I did a fresh install of jDownloads.
Screenshot 1 - Set the permissions in the global configuration-> Public -> Download enabled
Screenshot 2 - Edit category (called Sinterklaas): It seems although it is set to Public, Download is disabled :-\
Screenshot 3 - Edit category again, set Download enabled
Screenshot 4 - Add download in the category Sinterklaas, now I assume Download is enabled but again it is disabled ?!?
Is this the supposed behaviour ? Enable download for every file ?

Have you use the last version 3.2.15?
When you create a new download (or category) you must first save it before you can see the permission settings.
Have you do it in your case?
I will check it here again in the next hours... i hope we have not added a new bug in the last release.
QuoteIs this the supposed behaviour ? Enable download for every file ?
No.
QuoteWhen you create a new download (or category) you must first save it before you can see the permission settings.
That is what I've been doing wrong ::)
It's working fine now, thanks a lot !
Okay. Thanks for the result. It seems that we must change here a little bit to reduce wrong handling. ::)
Fact is that jDownloads can first then save the correct (inherited) permissions, when it is clear which item is the parent item (category or component).
sorry I tried to follow up the screenshot here since I don't understand the language on the pictures but it look like i have everything set up correctly. Except my download permission for a files still not allowed. If i manually allowed it for that particular file then it work but this mean I will have to do this for over 1500 files. is there a default or global setting to allowed each file to be public download
Hi water,
are the early sended login data for your site valid? When not send me new data via PM.
I will check what here is wrong a second time.

I have the same problem. I use version 3.2.15.
Hi
At the present time you have to do it manually with old categories and downloads. New categories and downloads do 'cascade' permissions. Shortly there will be some tools that will set the permissions for a category and all its children. Note that the default permissions for the component are typically Not Allowed for Public.

Hi hawker,
have you not seen this post?
http://www.jdownloads.com/forum/index.php?topic=7497.msg29248#msg29248
yes, i have read it, but the problem is:
When i created a download by uploading in the browser, jdownalod set the permission right (Download enabeld), but when i upload a file via ftp and jdownload created the download automatically, he set the wrong permission (Download disabeld).
Permission are inherited, except in the global configuration, there are downloads enabeld.
Hi Hawker,
please note that in the auto monitoring function is the 'inherit' permission functionality is not complete ready. :-\
But this should be fixed with next release 3.2.16 very soon (next days). The same for 'batch' actions in the backend items list. :)
ok :)
Hi,
I am glad to see this topic has generated quite a bit of interest.
The interesting thing is that while I have set ALLOWED download for Public in Global setting, the permission set for individual downloads in Edit mode is showing Not ALLOWED. How could this be happening? In other words, it is not adhering to global setting.
Another problem I have is that the message 'Only registered and logged in users can download files from this category.' appears on the listing page before the user has even clicked on download button or attempted to see the detailed page (For your information, all categories and downloads set to Public). The listing page has to look normal for public users, and the message has to appear after the user has attempted to download; how can we rectify this issue?
Regards,
Amir

In jD 3.2.15 (& jD 2.5.15) the cascading of privileges from parent to child only works for new categories and downloads, so existing ones could be different. You need to set these manually.

I have exactly the same problem but more interesting I noted that if I try to change permission from inherited to allowed for existing categories I get and error message. see pictures. Further more I wanted to test something that colin said
QuoteAt the present time you have to do it manually with old categories and downloads. New categories and downloads do 'cascade' permissions.
So I created a 2 new categories test category I created set the permission to allowed and saved it. Second test category 2 I created but did not touch any permission. ftp two mp3 on each directory auto monitoring is set to yes. but when I try to download these file still only for registered user. so the only way is to set individual permission to each mp3 file to allowed.

Hi water,
Quoteo I created a 2 new categories test category I created set the permission to allowed and saved it.
When you create a new item (category or download) you MUST first save the category to see the inherited permissions.
This is very important.The next beta version will view a special hint about this!
I check in the moment your backend...
Edit:
- please send me login data for your DB via PM
- when i create now (with the latest version 3.2.15) a new download, he inherited the 'download' rules from the category without any problems.
So we must only change the old downloads.
Hi water,
i have fixed it now in your db with a query like this:
UPDATE `xxx_assets`
SET rules = '{"core.create":[],"core.delete":[],"core.edit":[],"core.edit.state":[],"core.edit.own":[],"download":{"1":1}}'
WHERE `name` LIKE '%jdownloads.download%'
The first value in: download":{"1":1} is the ID from your public user group and the second value activate this action.
Please note:
- your website is very, very slow for a 'download' area. :-\
- you must change some php settings (see pic)
- you must also set higher the memory_limit !!
- USE NOT AUTO MONITORING OR 'BATCH OPERATIONS' UNTIL YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE NEXT BETA 3.2.16!!
