Thanks for setting this up worfje. Is it possible with this software to include a downloads area ?

Hi Presson,

I am pretty sure it should be possible. I will add it to my todo!

Hi Presson,

I have enable a downloads (and upload) area, which you can find here.
Once you have uploaded it, I need to approve it. Limited to 100 Mb per file currently.
Enjoy!

I've uploaded the 8 gen F&X version workshop manual but it's not visible at the top level menu. Do we need an actual download section to make it easy to find this sort of stuff?

Thanks for trying it out.
As stated, every upload needs to be approved (to circumvent misuse) and it was, so now it is visible.

We can/should indeed structure it in some way (which is easily done using the options in phpBB).
If you have a suggestion, I would be happy to implement it.

If possible, can downloads have a section of their own at the board index level?

Also, when I look at the actual documents uploaded I get this message:

Access denied!
You have no permission to download this file!

I am unsure if the file download can be easily be moved to board index level. It is an 'extension' of phpBB and I haven't yet found the option to let is show to board index level.

The 'Access denied' I recognize and is on my to-do to solve. It has something to do with quota (allowed data usage settings). I will figure it out.

Trying to download some manuals but keep getting this message: 1 unassigned downloads found in category folder.
To use these files, please use the ACP module Download Management.

Also, I have a more up to date 1200F shop manual but it is >200mB so will need to wait for upgrade.

Thanks for the feedback.

I will enlarge to 250 Mb.
The unassigned thingie I will put on my to-do.

I have no idea what to do with the "unassigned...." bit. Still can't download any files, even small ones.
