    Looking for some plugin or extension and wonder if anyone ca

    Posted 13 years 6 months ago
    • Hi - I wonder if anyone can help on this - Im looking for a plugin / functionality - but despite my best efforts so far ive drawn a blank and was wondering if something like K2 might fit the bill or if Rockettheme have something that will do the job - basically i want to give external users - not groups as such - but users with unique logins the ability to log into Joomla and be able to see and download their own files - pics, pdf etc - does something like this exist or am i barking up the wrong tree with Joomla?

      So we can upload files for the client (mostly wedding pics and links to wedding videoes in a PDF for notation etc)- so that ONLY that logged in user can see them.

      I dont need any back end access for them - just a login where they can see and download files. Mainly the PDF so they can then make their notes and send back to us.

      The important thing is that the logged in user can see their files only - and not other users.

    • Here we go again...

      Fabrik will do this for you...

      Create a list (table) and do a pre-filter which will let the user only download/view files with their username associated to the file.

      I would then create a form which allows uploads (fabrik has this option) and the creator can put title, description and add file, an select the user who will see the file(s).

      Example:

      FORM: Title, Desc, File (upload), username (you select username from a list of usernames)

      TABLE: pre-filter with something like -- WHERE username = '{username}'

      Set the pre-filter for registered users (admin will be able to see all files then...)

      This means everyone sees the same table, but it filters the list to just files that has their username associated with it :)

      You can limit the upload filetypes to certain files or sizes in Fabrik too.

      The usernames can be auto grabbed from Joomla's users table and put into the username drop down, theres an option for that in Fabrik.

      Job Done :)

      Gawd i love the versatility of Fabrik lol. :mrgreen:
