Auto created folder permissions

Does the module allow you to grant access to the automatically created user folder only to the registered user for whom the folder was created (and obviously the admin)?  I want users to be able upload files not viewable by other users.   I would like this set up by default so that i don't have to manually restrict access for every user create...  Does your module support this out of the box?

Re: Auto created folder permissions

Yes, this is what the "AutoCreate" folder setting is for.

When you register on this site, and view the Access Manager demo, you will see a folder "My Folder"

All "Registered Users" get this folder, auto-created for them.  The folder is created under a folder on my servers hard drive called "ACDest".

The naming convention for the folder is:  ModuleID_UserID - (ACDest\421_05).
When using Auto-Create Folders, you can also setup a "Template Folder".  This template folder is copied (all-files and folders) to each users folder on first-time-use.
This is why you end up with 2 files when you first load up the module.

Please let me know if the above answers all your questions...

Re: Auto created folder permissions

Thanks

Also, is there notification already built into the module?  I would like the admin/siteowner notified when a new file has been uploaded.

Re: Auto created folder permissions

Event-Logging is something I have had a couple requests for.

Depending on the time it takes me to finish version 1.2, I might be able to take my notes on the logging and integrate into the module for 1.3....then perhaps get you a beta of this, while I add the other task-list items for Version 1.3.
