Hi all. My XOOPS site has been up now for about 24 hours and getting a bit of attention. My question is simple, We are trying to let users submit artwork for the group project (in many different formats.) Is there a way they can either attach it to the forum or submit it via the downloads section? Currently users can only submit a http link, but many users don't have access to file servers on the net.

Secondly, I installed XOOPS with cPanel. I am running version 2.0.13.1 Is it worth updating, if so, what will I get out of updating? Is it easy to do?

For all sort of security reasons, I think it's better for you to moderate the uploads. The best way to do it is to use a contact form with surch a formulaire module. This one allow you to fix the sizes and file types that users will send to you.

Then, you'll be able to upload files yourself in a secure directory (with no write access) to enable links in your xoops.

Of course, this solution need a bit more job, but it's the safer !

Concerning CBB upload capacity, I think it's a good thing (I activated it with my recent upgrade), but you shouldn't open it for everybody...

In all cases : think security !

How would I go about enabling those CBB things?? I can't seem to find it in the forum settings. Do I need to upgrade? if so, how?

current release of CBB enable joined files.

In admin, you must create /upload directories
Then in each forum configuration, enable joined files.

Of course be careful with group accès to the forums you enable joined files... it sucks space fast !
