I am using PDDownloads 1.2, but I tried 1.0 and saw the same bug. When I go to the submit.php page to submit a new upload, I get the "Submit" form that looks like the one from PDLinks.

Specifically, there is no box that says "Upload File" with the "Browse..." button. Everything else seems normal. The permissions, categories everything else is okay. However, without the "Upload File" I have no way of uploading anything.

If I go into the admin panel, and click on "Create a New Download", the "Upload File" field appears in the normal place. I am trying to make this feature available to some non-techie users so I would prefer to stay out of the admin panel.

I have another site that is set up virtually identically, but the bug does not appear.

Has anyone seen this bug or have any idea how I can hack or workaround it?

Thanks,
Dave ...

I believe PDdownloads doesn't have an upload function at all, but the downloads are staticly linked. you'll have to upload your files via a ftp program, and then link it in PDdownloads.

PDDownloads does have an upload function. Have you checked the preferecnes of this module?
See the preference setting: User Uploads: yes/no

Really,.never knew that ;)
