members can't submit downloads; Admin can't delete category

How do regular members submit downloads? There is no add downloads link. I seached but couldn't find any threads on this.

I thought maybe the Admin had to add a download first, so I did that through Admin. Now the categories don't show. It says there are 1 download and 5 categories, but there are no links for the categories.

Check d_config of downloads and set $user_adddownload = 1;
As admin you need to create first the downloads categories and description.

What perfect timing, I had that same exact question. Thanks again Susann!

Thanks - I didn't know those settings were there. Embarassed

I didn't see any setting for categories. Why did the categories disappear after I added a download? How do I get them back?

Update: I decided to delete the categories and start over. That's when I noticed the main category I had created was no longer listed in Admin- only the sub-categories showed. I created a new main category and moved the 2 downloads to it. Then I deleted all of the sub-categories, but they still show in Admin while the Main category doesn't show. No categories show in the Downloads module. I logged out of Admin, deleted cookies and cache, but it's still the same. Is this a bug?

I went to the database, and all of the sub-categories I had deleted were still there. No sign of the main categories. I deleted everything from the database and went back to Admin and did it over again. I decided to make a test category also. Everything went fine, and all categories showed, so I decided to delete the test category. After doing that, everything was back the way it was - No categories showing in the Downloads Module, and in Downloads Admin, only the sub-categories showed like they were main categories. Deleting them from Admin did no good. I went back to the db and deleted everything again and redid the categories. Everything looks good, but it is obvious I can't delete or modify categories once they are created without doing it from the database.

This is a new installation of Ravennuke, not an update or migration.

I believe there was a small issue with deleting downloads and subcategories. However, I don´t have a clean install with this module to test this out right now. But I believe Gremmie knows something about this.

I fixed a bug where if you deleted a sub-category, it would delete all categories. The fix for this should be in 2.10.01 right now. What version of RavenNuke are you having problems with?

Using Ravennuke 2.10.01, newly installed in October. This doesn't delete all categories, only the main category. The subcategories remain, and if I delete them, it goes through the motions, but they don't actually get deleted. Maybe I should delete the downloads tables and redo them?

I'm all confused here. Smile

Can you give me an exact sequence of steps to reproduce the problem? Thanks.

I uploaded the admin index file again and it seems to be working, so I guess maybe the file was bad.

Thanks.
