[plonkerking]

Hello guys I have another problem although as of yet hardly anyone has replied to my other post! Anyways this time i want to have file uploader that only certain members of the website ca use there would need to be 3 sperate areas as there is three groups there would also need to be three sperate file viewing areas that the members of the groups could download the files from. Is this possible??

Many thanks the Plonkerking

Hi,
If you use a login area which only certain user groups can access, then you could acheive this

im sorry maybe i didnt explain well enough that iss the simple part the difficult part is allowing only certain members of my website to upload files through the website and then for others to be able to download these files. That is what im trying to do.

Maybe I'm missing something here, plonkerking, but it sounds as though you're trying to use a proverbial sledgehammer to crack a proverbial nut! If you want to grant 'admin' rights to certain members of the group, why not simply set up FTP accounts for them so that they can upload files without your having to set up a fancy uploading system on the website?

lets just say that these people who will be managing the three sections of the website are not too smart, in fact a monkey is probably smarter than them! so they need an idiots way of putting the new downloadable forms on their sections, also this is what they want doing so i just do what im told!

I remember someone else wanting a similar thing a few months ago. I will see if I can dig out the thread. meanwhile, have you tried a forum search?

Oh, and Alfred: It sounds like the proverbial nut could be a peanut (AKA monkey nut; AKA ground nut)

I know the peanut and ground nut to be different.

In the USA, the ground nut was known as Jersalem Artichoke, renamed by a marketer to SunChoke. It can be cultivated and also harvested from the wild.

According to Wikipedia, there are a few different "groundnuts", one of which is a peanut, amongst other things

This is the Serif forum... and going off-topic is the norm.

I'm waiting for TAE to present a recipe or two.

Meanwhile, have you investigated Google docs? That might do the trick for you and your clients.

Cream of peanut soup (it just so happens that this is from Colonial Williamsburg, one of the few places in America I've been... purely coincidental!)

Groundnut soup

And now back to topic:

I haven't been able to find that thread I was talking about yet... will keep looking though!

Hello mjh this is a good suggestion but it dosent allow for a lst of documents it only allows for them to be viewed. unless there is something i missed i dont think this will do the trick
