IMPORTANT:

If you are updating from WF-Downloads 2.x then please make sure you read and understand the following informations. There were some severe changes introduced in version 3.

- Change to absolute pathinfo in the upload path:

  You *MUST* make sure to edit the upload directory in module preferences to include the servers absolute path instead of a relative path.
  For example:
  If your servers absolute path to the root xoops folder is /home/domain/public_html to keep the files in the normal uploads folder you would now set the path in preferences to /home/domain/public_html/uploads (no trailing slash)
  If you want to have the files stored outside of the web root for security then you would change the path to /home/domain/uploads (no trailing slash) for example.
  You see above, the uploads folder is now outside of public_html which prevents anyone from gaining access to those files directly. Only files submitted after this upgrade will utilise the new system, existing downloads will still use the URL method and therefore the path will not be hidden.

- File based permissions were removed:

  WF-Downloads no longer has any per file permissions. From now on there will be only category permissions. This means all files within an existing category will be accessible by the groups defined for that category. Please make sure the permissions for all existing categories are properly set after updating the module.

- Changes in module preferences due to feature changes:

  In WF-Downloads preferences check that the submission and autoapprove settings are correct. Due to the new features (mirror system, review system reworked) those have changed a bit. Make sure you set those to fullfill your needs now.
