Hi all,

Something that cropped up in this thread. A simple module to allow downloading stuff from your server. I call it SimpleDownloads. The simple downloads module allows users to download content from your server. You specify a path to the content and the module renders a folder/file tree. Features include:

  • Can use UNC paths
  • Enforces security by checking view permission on module
  • Supports Search
  • Search results return (secured) direct download links
  • Folder/file tree is rendered using XML/XSL

I've also played around with jQuery to get this module done. jQuery will be included in DNN 5 so this gives you an example of what you can do with it. The treeview is made using jQuery and the treeview addin.

Those of you looking for this module: PA and source can be found here:

Log in/register to see the downloads. O, did I mention it was free? It is. And so is the source code.

Thank you very much for this small but extremely helpful module.

One short hint for everyone who has following scenario (like i do):
- DNN running on a Windows-Server which is under full control, so not hosted outside
- allowing download of a directory outside (!) Portal, normally secured with NTFS-Settings

-> it will work when you give Reaqd-Access to NETWORK SERVICE.

Cheers

Kai
