  • Filedepot folder permission

    Figure out how to set folder permissions so they are group specific. 

    I.e.: SAGA group members should not see the folders of other groups at all in their fildepot.

     

  • Filedepot displays “File locked by User” but seems to be accessible

    This may not be a bug at all. Just figure out what 'locked by' actually means and learn to use filedot properly.

  • Filedepot feature freezes IE7

    Some users have reported that the upload form in filedepot feature freezes their browser.

    This happens after they press the submit button. This then triggers a login dialogue for ISA3. Completing the form seems to authenticate the user correclty but they then have to cancel the upload and retry. After that uploading seems to work fine.

  • Email notifications are not sent, not error reported

    Problem:  OA is not sending notifications: both installation (icarda.org & benale.net) actually (When new users are signed up they receive the welcome email with the login.)

    Suggested solution: set up cron

    No additional drupal modules need to be added to Atrium for notifications to work. You have what you need in the Atrium package. Setting up a cronjob[1] is all you need to do for them to work as you expect. On most of our Atrium installs (including community.openatrium.com) we set cron to run every five minutes.

    Is your cron job working? test it by going to yoursite.com/cron.php if the cron is working the page should remain white. if it is not working it will probably just return to the page you were on last or your atrium homepage.

    returns some page on OA
     
    Run cron manually on benale.net:  Error 310
    This webpage has a redirect loop…
    Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects
     
    Run cron manually on icarda.org: Error 310

    Yes, cron is required for sending email and populating the search index. If your hosting package truly doesn't support cron jobs you have two options: get another host (I'm serious)
    use poormanscron (not recommended, as it only works for the smallest sites)
     
    Suggestion: set up cron
     

  • Adding user error message “SMTP…”

    Adding a new user triggers an error message that takes up the whole screen.

    However, new users receive email notofications with their login credentials.
