Users File Browse

Hi !

You can manage these rights in this way :

– store files in wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/app_data/access-s2member-ccap-%username%
– give custom capability username to username in s2member fields in the user profile

Files in directory access-s2member-ccap-toto will not be downloadable by user tata but user tata will see the list. So you need to generate a shortcode specific for each user with dynamic parameter [s2msfb dir=”access-s2member-ccap-%username%”]

Thank you very much for your response !
The problem is not solved, yet.. sorry
– I created the folder app_data/access-s2member-ccap-admin and put some other folders and files ;
– I gave the admin custom capability to admin user, so now I have access_s2member_ccap_admin capability;

– I put the code [s2msfb dir="access-s2member-ccap-%username%" collapseeasing="swing" collapsespeed="500" cutdirnames="0" cutfilenames="0" dirbase="%2F" dirfirst="1" displayall="1" /] in a page;

– your shortcode [s2msfb dir="access-s2member-ccap-%username%"] have the same effect;

The problem is that I can still see and download files from all other folders… (using my admin user account)
I only want to have my users capable of uploading and browsing (delete) their own files.

Thank you again for your work and support!
Best regards

The shortcode I have sent to you is just an example. The correct version is :

[s2member_secure_files_browser dirbase=”%2Faccess-s2member-ccap-%username%” /]

But you need to replace %username% with the name of the current logged in user of course !

Thanks for answer !
I through that putting %username% variable in shortcode will automatically change the user permissions, according with logged user.

Now it works, using admin instead of %username%.
What can I do to have it automatically changed?
Thank you

I did not think about this before but this is not too complicated for the plugin to replace dynamically %username% or %useremail% or %userid%

I will take a look on it…

Ok, take a look on your page, it works now ??

You now inject %USERNAME%, %USEREMAIL% or %USERID%

It works !!! It works !!! Thank you very much !

Now each registered user, with specific ccap can only access their own uploaded files. (I ve used WordPress File Upload plugin)

Now Im trying to make a shortcode, accesible for a higher level user, for managing the other users uploaded files. (like an supervisor with all rights to see and download files).

Thank you for your patience! You have done a good job with your plugin !

Thank you dear Potsky!
Now it works just fine! Thank you again !

Now I’m trying to figure out a way to make another shortcode, in a secured page, for a admin like user, that can supervise (manage and download) all the uploaded user files.

Thank you for you plugin and you patience!

Thank you dear Potsky!
Now it works just fine! Thank you again !

I managed to add multiple ccaps for a supervisor user, in order to have access to other secured folders and files in app_data folder.

The final issue would be to find a way for this supervisor user, to have in his file browser not all folder names (access-s2member-ccap-%username%), but just the %username% of the regular users .

Thank you for you plugin and you patience!

I would love to have the same feature on a website I’m working on. Can you provide some info on what code to add to the plugin to make %username% dynamic in the shortcode? Thanks!

Hi sagedel,

I don’t understand what your are looking for. %USERNAME% is already a dynamic placeholder you can put in the shortcode to manager user folders for example.

Let’s take this example : you give users of your wordpress install the ability to download their invoice for example.

You can set this folder structure in your plugin/s2member-files folder :

– plugin/s2member-files/username1
– plugin/s2member-files/admin
– plugin/s2member-files/zorro
– …

Then you just have to set this shortcode in a page for registered users :

[s2member_secure_files_browser dirbase="%2F%USERNAME%" /]

With this method :

– username1 will access the plugin/s2member-files/username1 folder only
– zorro will access the plugin/s2member-files/zorro folder only
– …

If you prefer set this with email address, you do this :

[s2member_secure_files_browser dirbase="%2F%USEREMAIL%" /]

With this method :

– username1 will access the plugin/s2member-files/[email protected] folder only
– zorro will access the plugin/s2member-files/[email protected] folder only
– …

Oh! I didn’t realize that was an option. I think I’m still doing something wrong…

I have my directories set up as follows currently:

s2member-files/administration/access-s2member-ccap-user1
s2member-files/administration/access-s2member-ccap-user2
s2member-files/annual_documents/access-s2member-ccap-user1
s2member-files/annual_documents/access-s2member-ccap-user2

so I tried using this in the shortcode to access the users in the annual_documents folder dynamically:

dirbase=”%2Fannual_documents%2Faccess-s2member-ccap-%username%”

Unfortunately, I did something wrong because it outputs everything within the entire s2member-files directory instead of the individual user’s sub-folder with in the annual_documents folder.

Does that make sense?

First of all, you should not use the name access-s2member-ccap- for folder given that it has a special meaning.

access-s2member-ccap-toto will be accessible by all users having a Custom Capability (you can set this in user profile page) named toto.

Then, in your case, I think everything is fine because by default, the plugin displays ALL files and folders. When a user clicks on a forbidden file, it will be engaged to buy an access, etc…

If you want to hide non-accessible files/folders, just add the following option displayall in the shortcode and set its value to 0 :

[s2member_secure_files_browser dirbase="..." displayall="0"/]

I still can’t get it to work. Here is the full shortcode I’m using:

[s2member_secure_files_browser collapseeasing=”swing” collapsespeed=”500″ cutdirnames=”0″ cutfilenames=”0″ dirbase=”%2Fannual_documents%2F%username%” dirfirst=”0″ displayall=”0″ displaybirthdate=”0″ displaycomment=”0″ displaydownloaded=”0″ displaysize=”1″ displaymodificationdate=”0″ dirzip=”0″ expandeasing=”swing” expandspeed=”500″ folderevent=”click” hidden=”0″ multifolder=”1″ openrecursive=”1″ s2alertbox=”1″ search=”0″ searchgroup=”0″ searchdisplay=”0″ names=”access-s2member-ccap-garvey:” sortby=”4D” /]

I want it to target this folder:

s2member-files/annual_documents/testuser (each user will have a folder under the annual_documents directory that will be targeted based on their username)

I have this folder set up and I’m logged in as testuser, but I can still see the entire directory tree under s2memberfiles/ instead of just the contents of the s2member-files/annual_documents/testuser folder.

I only want it to show the files that are in the sub-folder and not all of the directories under s2memberfiles.

I should mention I had it working when I was targeting the annual_documents folder (it showed all the files under annual_documents), but it does not seem to work when I target the user sub-directory of annual_documents.

Also changing dirbase=”%2Fannual_documents%2F%username%” to dirbase=”%2Fannual_documents%2Ftestuser” works how I want it to also. I just can’t get the %username% function to work.
