Hi,

I'm trying to make the module run properly, but it seems that something is missing in my procedure.

After unpacking and placing the module in the server I created a new type of content called file, and a new vocabulary term called Folders for the file type of content.

After this and enabling the module I get two things:

1. The access to the folders is public (even non-authenticated users can access it)

2. When I try to create or upload a file it does not show me the option to upload it, or the button 'send' does not appear.

Any suggestions about to fix that?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Os

activate the permission to users to upload files in the control access area, even if you are an administrator and you have a rol stablished to you. I don't know why when the rol is stablished the change on permissions affect the admin too.

Not in the current code.

Now some gory details. The reason one can't is because folders are implemented using taxonomy (category) terms. They don't have associated permissions with them. The door has been left open to do it using nodes (content) instead of terms, but it hasn't been implemented at this stage and is currently vapourware. There are no plans to do it either, since there has been little need for this to-date.
