missing upload icon in layout with some user

[TOPUS]

Sorry for my english, i'll try to explain my problem:
I'm using jdownload in an european project website,
I created a private area where the partners exchange documents . everything worked perfectly until I had to create another space with login and registration required to access an area of manuals. (using Contentbuilder as an aid to create a different form from that of joomla, that still does not work well, or better, I can not intercept the login , but this is another problem)
At this point the problem was that if the users register they end up in a

registred group - > learning

while users who have access to the upload / download are

registred - > partners

. I also uploaded the jdownload  to version 2.3.45 , but now only the super-user can upload. the right there is no icon.
I did not understand how to use the group permission settings . I would like to use the maintenance function , so that if the elearn or pubblic users came in he was told that they could not , and then I screwed up to setup
HElp me please

Hi
I will try to help. But I need to understand.  I have written below what I think you want to do. Please correct if I have misunderstood.  I think perhaps you have got the Joomla! permissions upset!!

You have one User Group (UG) called say Learners who need to download Downloads from a category called say Learning-cat plus possibly associated sub categories.

There is another UG called say partners who are allowed to download from and upload to a category called say Partner-cat plus possibly associated sub categories.

If the above is correct which UG can upload to  Learning-cat?  It may of course be yet another UG.

Also are members of UG Learners allowed to see but not Download from cat Partner-cat.  I presume mermbers of UG partners are allowed to download from both cats.

Please let me know or send a picture of the required organisation so I can twell you properly.

hello , it is not exactly like this:
the user ' patners ' ( UP ) have access to the download and upload , which I created with ' jDownloads ' other users ' learn ' ( UL ) have access only to ' non-public pages ' where ' browse ' pages / articles (the manual ) non-public , registred .
I wish only ' UP ' from entering the download and can upload and Download any and maybe they can also access the section ' Manual ' instead UL can not access the download area (created with jdownlads) but only see the articles/pages with "registred access"
let me know if you need something more. I can send you the login access if you need (it's not a secret website )

Hi
I have just sent you a PM about site.
So the need is that only UG, 'partners' can access jDownloads for both downloading and uploading Downloads.

UG learn will only access regular Joomla! articles but they could if needed have possibility to download  some 'manuals' if wanted.

All of this is readily achievable by using a combination of Joomla! Permissions and View Access levels.

A key question is whether the learn UG will be able to see the presence and description of some Downloads but not able to Download.

Ok but Is it possible to use the 'maintenance' configuration for public and UL users, so when they try to access to download area they see a message:"you have not access in that area" (
It is what I have tried to do , and so I made a mess)

Hi
I wrote the noes below before seeing your message above

Think permissions are sorted
In the Component Permissions you had set up
  UG Partners to be able to create, edit, edit own and download any Download in the relevant jD Categories
  UG learners are Denied everything - please never use Deny just leave at Inherit as the default will then be 'not allowed'. 
  If you use Deny it cannot be overridden in categories etc so everything in jD is effectively 'locked out' for this UG.
 
You have 9 top level Categories, all of whom have View Access for the Registered Access Level.
I have assumed that all except the e-learning category are for partners UG, and that e-learning cat is for only for learner UG members to download - but easy to allow partners UG as well if you need.

Another assumption I have made is that members of partner UG are only allowed to edit their own uploads.  Again there was a deny problem here.

Note that members of a UG are also automatically members of the Parent UG, the Grand Parent UG and so on.
In the UPLOAD PARTNERS Category I have assumed are only for the Partners you had set up Allowed in the Registered UG so that meant that learners UG would in principle be able to do things. 

In the e-learners category all the members of the partners UG are allowed to create, edit, edit own, edit state and download. Is that what you want?

I have set up what I believe you need.  All Component Permissions are now set to Inherit.
The eight "partner" categories and the e-learner category are now set to allow members of the partner UG to create, edit, edit state, edit own and download.  They are not allowed to delete or edit (other than their own of course). This also applies to any sub category, sub-sub cat etc.

The learner UG members can only download from category e-learners and any of its sub categories. This UG cannot create , edit or similar.

I think all is now working but I did notice some other items:

You are using the older v2.5 layouts which are not so good for mobile devices
Please see http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/layouts-overview on how to switch to the 3.2 versions

I also noticed that when creating an upload then the Tabs in the form disappear.  This looks like a conflict with your template.  Could you please raise this as a separate topic if it persists

Colin
PS will look later at the 'you do not have permission' but at present users only see the jD are if they are registered so to allowpublic to see you just change view access on jD List All Cats menu item to Public
