Manager Mode not enabling on S2member subdirectory

I’m working with somebody else at the moment. This is probably an easy fix, but give me some time to help them out.

The issue is manager mode and s2members are not currently compatible. I will tell you what to do in a few minutes.

Ok Cool…I’m here to help debug. Let me know what I can do to help if needed ??

Sorry for the delay.

Open up file-away/lib/inc/inc.base.php

line 4, change from:

$s2mem = fileaway_definitions::$s2member && ($base == 's2member-files' || stripos($this->op['base'.$base], 'plugins/s2member-files') !== false) ? true : false;

to:

$s2mem = fileaway_definitions::$s2member && ($base == 's2member-files') ? true : false;

Then you will have to use a hard-coded Base Directory setting for your Manager Table, and be sure to specify who can see it with showto=

By design manager mode tables will show the manager column to those who have access to manager mode tables in the global settings, but those who do not will see the table just without manager mode. Since this is s2member, you don’t want them to see this table because for manager mode, we need to bypass the custom s2member download links.

The bit that you’re removing from the line above was a recent addition which enabled s2member with or without using the virtual s2member base dir that I add dynamically. We need to undo that change so it won’t trigger as an s2member and thus disable manager mode.

Ok…cool. Works now. Thanks heaps.

Does that mean you’ll be dropping the “virtual 6th base directory” associated with s2member in the modal drop-down list?

No, you will still use that for your users. For manager mode you have to use a fixed base.

Basically I’m reverting to how it was like a week ago.

I might revamp it though because currently an s2member display is not compatible with recursive or directory tree. I won’t be making it compatible with recursive but I might with directory tree.

Cool. Thanks for the fix. I love this plug-in.

Smooch.

OK, so I have worked it out so that s2member file downloads is compatible with either recursive or directory tree nav, or even manager mode now. This will be in the next release. So for user downloads:

[fileaway base="s2member-files" sub="if_any" recursive="true"] or
[fileaway base="s2member-files" sub="if_any" directories="true"]
[fileaway base="s2member-files" sub="if_any" directories="true" manager="true"] or
[fileaway base="s2member-files" sub="if_any"]

will all work.

With manager mode, it will only be manager mode if the user has rights to manager mode (and in that case, the links will be normal real url path, not s2member download). If the user does not have manager mode rights, they will get a regular table with s2member download links. Be sure to add both directories=”true” AND manager=”true”, if you want non-manager users to still have a directory nav table.

I will probably also add the virtual s2member-files base option in the shortcode generator for File Up.

Very cool. You’ve been busy ??

3.7 is up, with all these changes. You also have the virtual s2member-files base in [fileup] and [fileaway_values] as well. You no longer have to use a hard-base for your manager mode table, etc etc.

Excellent. Much appreciated ??

Ohh Thomas!!!! JUST THE person we were looking for! The Master himself.
Thomas, we were wondering WERE we could get some support for absolute NEWBIESDUMBIES to all this tech talk.
We have installed Fileaway but it is SO confusing at least to us 3 beginners we were wondering where we might get step by step instructions.
Our END goal is to use it with S2 Member to restrict Member Level Posts/Pics.
I mean we are stuck on step 1 LOL
Here
(First thing you need to do is tell the shortcode where to begin looking for your files. You do that here by establishing base directories. Enter at least your first base directory (you can save up to five). It can be as simple as wp-uploads or myfiles, or it could be a hundred levels deep. You can leave out leading and trailing slashes (so files/docs rather than /files/docs/). Then don’t forget to enter a short but descriptive display name for this directory. The display name is what you’ll see in the dropdown menu on the shortcode generator.)

We tried to enter wp-uploads to no avail, I mean we arent even sure WHERE it is to even upload pics/files to, so as you see we are complete morons. Hope you can help.
