Hello, I would like to use aMember to protect personal folders of users, I wonder if anyone here can let me see how a protected folder looks like in real site, I want to see if the files just display like in Windows Explorer or you can st it to a list and add title and date to each file, Any help will be welcomed. Thanks Kobi
I think you are talking about the personal folders plugin? How the files are displayed- that depends on your server settings. Some servers will list all contents of a directory. I'd suggest you write a little script that lists the files with a link. David
Persoal folders Hi David, You are right, I am talking about the personal folders plugin. I wrote a nice script to display the content of the folders, now I found two other issues: 1. the plugin do not create a personal folder when new user subscribe. 2. amember block the access to the personal folder, but after login each user can access all other users folders. ( I created few users, each has personal folder as his username like: www.mysite.com/amember/users/USERNAME after login to user1, I can chanage the URL from ......./USER1 to ....../USER2 ans see all user2's files. I am using new_rewrite for protection. Thanks Kobi
I also am having the same problem with users able to navigate to other members folders. I have put an index.html folder in place so it does not list all the folders, but its not hard to work out... Especially as i have a forum where everyone can see everyone elses username! Any ideas how to stop this would be great!
FYI... I got an answer from the support desk regarding the access of the personal folders: "Hello, Gary. Unfortunately, there is no documentation. You should create a file .htaccess in 'templates' folder: AuthType Basic AuthName "Members Only" AuthUserFile /home/NAME/public_html/path_to/members/data/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /home/NAME/public_html/path_to/members/data/.htgroup Require user <!--LOGIN--> Then Personal Folder will substitute <!--LOGIN--> to username and only that member will be able to access folder." Tried it and it worked like a treat!
How the files are displayed- that depends on your server settings. Some servers will account all capacity of a directory.
