I'm new to EE, but I followed all instructions, software appeared to install, I put in path to my file http://www.etc. hit the button, shows me the file ID-1 under all files.

I can still download the supposedly secure file without any issues at all I thought it would be blocked?, also I don't see any instruction on how to get the secure path.

Like I said I'm new to this, just need a little more help here. :-)

Also the table cell furthest to the right is not visible, I can see about 10%-15% of 2 buttons on the right, anyway to show all the tables? Sidebar is currently hidden

You have to use .htaccess to restrict access to your files. If you want to make all files inside a folder "secure", place the following inside your .htaccess file:

order deny, allow
deny from all

Currently you have to input the file path manually. If you have a file secure.txt inside a folder secure, you have to type in the path manually, secure/secure.txt.

What is your browser and screen resolution?

I did all that logged in correctly with group that should have access to file and was not able to see the picture file I chose. I did put the .htaccess file in the folder.

Also I could not figure out where to get secure link from?

My screen resolution is 1280 x 800 don't think my resolution is the issue, but rather the cell sizes in the table

I already purchased a paid option as I need this for a client immediately and the other option works great.

Keep doing what you do, seems like its almost there :-) ------Original Message------ From: Victor Michnowicz To: nazsect Subject: Re: [vwm_secure_files] Installed now what? (#7) Sent: Oct 4, 2011 10:58 AM

You can get the link to each file two ways:

Make sure that you are linking to each file correctly. The link should be relative to the EE index.php file. To make sure that you are linking to each file correctly you can just assign full permissions to a file in VWM Secure Files, click the "Update" button for that Secure File, then click on the link to open that file. If your computer attempts to download the file then you have linked to it properly. If you have not linked to it properly then you should receive an error message.

I'm not really sure what you are referring to when you mention a "paid option". All my EE modules so far have been free. Are you talking about some other EE addon?

I'll have to look into the table display issue. I have had no problems with it in Firefox on my system. However, my version of Firefox is rather new (version 6).
