We installed XOOPS (v 2.0.10) and WF Downloads (2.0.5a) to our site. Everything is working just fine with one exception.

We created three additional groups besides the default groups installed by Xoops. When a download file is uploaded the default groups are able to see it instantly. Our custom made groups are not. We have to go into the WF downloads permissions and manually tick off the view boxes for each and every file upload. This would not be a problem if it were not for the fact that our site is for downloads. Thousands of them and this is for us a huge issue.

We have searched the forums here and in WF Dwonloads and have found no reference to this particular problem. We have triple checked all permissions and all settings. They appear to be correct yet this is still a problem.

Correcting this problem is a very big issue for us and can lead to changing to a different system if not corrected and soon.

Thanks you in advance for your replies.

same problem..

if you find a solution please post it here

have you tried ticking the 'All' box which automatically selects all files?

Yes we can and do click "All" that is not the issue.

The issues is we should not have to click anything. The custom groups should have the files automatically show to them the same as they do for the Default groups set by Xoops.

We have thousands of files to load to prep the site and also will be getting several hundred added each week. We would have to have someone doing nothing but going in and clicking "All" many many times a day. This is totally unacceptable.

We are a game site that offers custom made content for the gaming community so our downloads numbers are high!

ok i see what you mean now.. if submitted by admin it's fine cos the admin can select groups on submission..

but if done from the front page, then only webmasters and registered groups get selected..

here's a quick fix for you..

i'm presuming you know your group numbers (id's)

ie.. webmasters group is group 1
registered users = group 2
anonymouis is group 3 etc

and custom groups will follow on from that

open wfdownloads/submit.php

find on line 147 or thereabouts



change to



put all the group id's in the array for the groups u wish automatically selected.

you can omit group 3 if you don't want anonymous users to be automatically selected.

hope this helps and is what you require.

Will give it a try when I return later today. If I have further problems will let you know. Thank you so very much for responding so quickly

It was a very long night last night trying to figure this out. LOL
