Hi

I just finished adding the flags system to file areas, you can add them
via ini files.

It wont affect files via the web, only logged in.

I committed it today. Will work on message areas next, but that might be
a little while.

I just finished adding the flags system to file areas, you can add them via ini files.

I just had a user ask if he could have a private file area of his own so
I am just about to add an area for him and will be using flag of some
sort.

It wont affect files via the web, only logged in.

Is there a way to make the area unavailable on the web, or only available
to that user?

Currently when I look at the file areas on the web the file directories
all say "RESTRICTED" in red beside them. The areas I have available
really don't have or need any restrictions (aside from this new area for
this user). Is there a way I can remove that?

It would be good for the file areas to say restricted, if they are
restricted somehow.

Ttyl :-),

They say restricted if the area requires a user to be logged in to
access. Flags currently dont have any effect on the areas via web, you
will need to list the area as unavailable on the web.

The way things work on the website is there is no way with the current
set up to see if a user is logged in without prompting the user to
login. So, I cant make a test to see if the user is logged in and if not
hide said areas, so I just listed them as restricted, then if a user
attempts to access the files that is not logged in it will prompt for a
login or give a 403.

By making areas unavailable via the web, this does not effect the web
download option in the bbs.

Is there a way to configure these (or some) areas to not require a user
to be logged in?

OK, for his area I'll make it unavailable on the web and he can use a web download on the BBS, if that's what he wants.

Yes, just set the display on web = true instead of authorized.

Yes, just set the display on web = true instead of authorized.

Looking at the code, it seems although I meant to add an override for
sub dirs, I haven't actually done it yet.

My file areas all have display on web = true

That's fine, I added a directory for him. Not sure just what he has in
mind so that'll work.

I've just done some fixes, you can now do it per sub, each sub will
default to the directory setting.

restricted will now display besides file areas rather than directories,
I see it was displaying incorrectly on all areas, that should be fixed
now.
