[openupload-devel] Setting Up questions

[Robert H. <rh...@ch...>]

Hi

I have managed to get open upload working and contains much of what we have been looking for, so thank you very much for making this software available.  I use php 5.2.9 and have upload progress working - I'll share my feedback and have some questions

I downloaded the latest version from the SF page and found the web pages & images were not loading correctly (as others have experienced) so I then downloaded the latest version from svn and it was much better.  I had the following issues that I have resolved (but these may have been as I installed the svn version over the older version?)

  1.  I use mysql, some tables were added OK, others I had to manually add from the sql/mysql/1_structure.sql file
  2.  Adding a ' to the sites name caused a php hard string error, I had to manually edit the config file ( from \\' to \' )
  3.  Manually set up the permissions for 'registered' and 'unregistered' groups.

My questions are:

Are the access/ permissions detailed anywhere?  I have worked out that to allow an unregistered person access to download without having to register, you can set the upload module action 'd' to allow.

Also is there a way to see if a file has been downloaded or not?  E.g.  If I want to sent a file to 3 email addresses (at the same time or by later sending an already uploaded file to someone else), can I see which has downloaded it?

Thanks

Robert
