Not Authorized to View File

can you tell me the setting you have for the files giving you the issues, for example hidden or Public etc.

The settings are
– Public
– Published
– downloadable by non members (checked)

does preview work on the selected files.

I’ve identified the issue, though am not sure how to fix. If there is a non admin contributor on the file, it prevents the download.

okay, I’ve can confirm that is the issue. I will look for a solution and get back to you as soon as I can.

It seems if there is more than 1 contributor, including a second admin, the download is not possible.

Thanks a lot.

here is a hot fix if you are interested in being a tester for this issue.

Open the file mdocs-download.php goto line 50:

change this:

if($contributors != null) {
    foreach($contributors as $user) {
	$login_denied = true;
	    if($current_user->user_login == $user) $login_denied = false;
    }
}

to this:

if($contributors != null && $login_denied) {
    foreach($contributors as $user) {
	$login_denied = true;
	 if($current_user->user_login == $user) { $login_denied = false; break; }
	 if($current_user->roles[0] == $user)  { $login_denied = false; break; }
    }
}

Will give it a shot.

That seems to have fixed it! Thanks!!!

I will add this fix to the next version of mDocs, so you won’t have to keep editing the file on future releases ??

greatly appreciated!
