Regarding the file sharing mod, although I've set file sharing to members and not to guests, othere members don't seem to be able to see files only the admin users.
any ideas? My inc_UploadConfig.asp is as follows
<%

'^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
' ->Each FORUM has its own directory, and in each forum selected members may upload into those forum their shared files

Go into the asp file named membersfiles.asp
Then look at your files. If it says members (not shared) or (hidden) that is your problem. You must then edit each file to be viewable by members. Any questions just give me a shout!  |

sorry matey that was too obvious 
The files are already set to share for members (I've got the guest sharing switched off in the config page)
any other ideas?

OK I think I found the problem, I think this is a bug in inc_UploadFunc.asp but maybe I'm missing something so I'd appreciate someone else checking this. I've not seen anyone mention this on any forums anywhere!?!?
For some strange reason that I've never entirely understood, in the database membership levels are as follows
1 = normal user
2 = moderator
3 = admin
However the values in mlev that are set when checking the user at login are 1 higher than this.
I.e. normal user is mlev=2, moderator is mlev=3, admin user is mlev=4
OK then - in FilesLibrary.asp there is a flag called AdminAllowed this is set if you are an admin user OR a moderator in allowedModeratorList and allowFullModeratorAccess is true (set in inc_UploadConfig.asp)
when the file library is shown files are only displayed if
- you own them
- you are admin or you are in the allowed moderator list (AdminAllowed flag is set)
- you are a guest and guest access is allowed (mlev 0 and guest access set on the file and option is on in config)
- you are a normal user (mlev=2) and member access is allowed
with me so far? right then...what's missing?
Yep that's right! What if you are a moderator that isn't in the list of moderators that are allowed full access to the files as per admin? You won't see any files at all!
To fix this I worked through inc_UploadFunc.asp and everywhere that mlev (or memberLev) is checked to see if it equals 2 (i.e. a normal user) I changed it to check if its >=2
So you can see why I would like someone to check this logic - I've made the change don't want to have upset the mod and end up giving access to people that shouldn't have access to files. On the surface it seems OK though.
thanks to anyone who spares me some time to check this.
Korayem - if you are around it would be appreciated if you can check this too, because obviously you are the most familiar with the code being the author
