Very useful add-on. Purchased!

I need permissions per resource

Have you checked out borbole extra permissions which looks like it does that. http://xenforo.com/community/resour...ttings-on-a-resource-per-resource-basis.1698/

Do you want to set the permissions while you create the resource?

 

[Morgain]

EL would it make things easier or not to combine your two RM Permissions in one addon?
i.e. permission to view by usergroup + category? permission to download by usergroup?
and it looks like you might be heading for permissions per resource?

Do you want to set the permissions while you create the resource?

yes.
i want to set wich usergroup can download the single resource.
think about an article group with free articles and articles for paying members.

Global user group's permissions allowing to download resources override category settings set by this add-on.

For example, if you have allowed Registered group to download resources (in admin control panel -> users -> user group permissions), then unchecked permission for some RM category, users from that group will be able to download resources anyway.

Is this a bug or intended behavior?

Is this a bug or intended behavior?

While development and testing, we've always disallowed the global download perms and gave the explicit permission back to the user via this addon.



But i see your problem and it's IMO a bug which should be fixed.

ExtraLicense updated RM Usergroup Download Permissions with a new update entry:

RM Usergroup Download Permissions

In response to the feedback, we have changed the way this addon works.

The general download permission will be ignored and only the permissions set with this addon will be relevant

I don't have access to the source code but does this add-on add a 'download_by_perm' column to the database?
If so, is it dropped when the add-on is uninstalled?

 

[Dan]

thx
there's indeed a typo in the uninstall method


I'll release a new version ASAP!

 

[Paul B]

It's actually related to a ticket as the person has uninstalled but is getting an error.

I have advised them to post here for support.

You should also add a default value to the column anyway.

It's a blob column, that's why it can't have a default value, but i could/should probably remove the "not null" part

Hi, I'm not sure how long ago I uninstalled this but it must have been about a year ago. I hadn't tried to create new categories in the RM until recently and I got an error due to download_by_perm in the table xf_resource_category.

I have now resolved the issue by dropping the relevant part of the database, however are there any additional parts of the database that would not have been removed on uninstall that we will need to remove?

No, the only db change is the additional download_by_perm column

If you have uninstalled this addon, i would suggest to install & uninstall it again, or to drop the column download_by_perm from the xf_resource_category table
