I use the multi menu and link to the pafiledb. It is very simple to use, and a competent script. Permissions are much better than the "uploader", and users cannot see the database as a flat file.
You can create teams/groups with permissions. It is also an excellent download module. The permissions are not quite like what we deal with in Xoops, since it more easily lends itself to anonymous downloads. You can conceal the module by making setting group permissions. After the user has been there once and knows the linking it would be hard to inhibit use of the downloads.
VERY GOOD THIRD PARTY NON-XOOPS UP/DOWNLOAD SCRIPT pafiledbTHe script also has a "homesite" item in the header for easy editing to get back to your XOOPS home page.
I'm not saying this script is better, just a viable alternative. We still badly need a good fully XOOPS download module.
