Thanks for the great module Scott! I just have a question regarding folder permissions and an enhancement suggestion.

Under the module settings when you set the folders to display portal items from a certain folder, and then you go to Add Files, the drop down list shows all the folders from the portal root instead of just the ones you set under module settings. All the folders show even when a user has limited permissions to view and write only to a certain folder.

Is there anyway you could make it do the following?

In module settings if you select a certain folder, when you go to Add Files it only shows the folders which you selected in module settings?

Or make it so that only the folders which the user has view/write permissions shows up in the drop down list when you go to Add Files.

A quick enhancement suggestion: Would it be very difficult to add a button to 'Create New Folder'?

Thanks

I can probably use the DNN file permissions, but I would probably have a setting for both modes of operations. Sometimes the DNN permissions can be flaky.

Flaky file permissions aren't good..! What about just having a checkbox option in module settings that if checked it limits the folders in Add Files to the same ones seleted in the module settings?

Thanks

I've made this change - it's in the next release.
