I've been looking for a module that has user file area uploads for a few years now.. I finally found this one.. I think that the name is what has turned me off in the past.. I've always been looking for a "user file manager" or something similar. I had looked at the Speerio file manager some time ago, but it looks like Nik has stopped supporting it to be a full time member of the core team.
I have a few questions about the module and how it would function in my environment.. On my site, I have a subscription that people can purchase.. One of the benefits of this subscription is that I give users limited space on my server to store photos and other files to share in our forums. This space is access by a classic asp app I wrote and is housed at http://users.mysite.com.. All their files are access by going to http://users.mysite.com/username. I migrated to DNN January 1st. With that migration, my old way up allowing users to upload and manage their files has become quite cumbersome.. I'd like to intergrate this user space interface into my DNN portal, www.mysite.com, while still allowing access via users.mysite.com/username. It looks like the access manager module is what I need. So now questions..
From another post in this forum, it looks like the default naming convention for auto created folders is moduleid_userid.. Is this set in stone or can it be set to another value, like username or display name? My current naming scheme is username with spaces stripped out.
Can you set the folder to autocreate for only a specific role? I only want folders created if they are a member of the role of paid members. Is there any way to systematically delete folders with all subfoders and files if the user is no longer a member of the role?
How do the quotas work? Are they assigned to the folder or to the user/role? What I mean is, if I have 2 different roles accessing the module to upload files, can each role have a different quota? If a user is a member of both roles, how would the user's quota be determined?
