This module solves an old problem many users experience with DocMan. It turns out that either through a bug or exploit, occasionally the DocMan configuration file is deleted. Whatever the cause of the problem, it leave the website owner with a big problem. Their user's can't download files and many times, the website owner doesn't know about the problem unless a user contacts him or he tries to use DocMan. Once the problem is found, then you have to figure out how to repair the broken file. Since the owner doesn't usually have permission to edit, replace, or delete the broken file, many owners reinstall DocMan. This module will monitor your DocMan configuration file and if it becomes corrupt, will repair the file preventing your download section from being broken. This will create a backup file and keep it updated to ensure that if it is ever used that it will current. If there isn't a backup and the original is corrupt, the default installation configuration file will be used. This will fix your broken DocMan system and allow you to reconfigure the settings. If your DocMan Component is currently broken, this will fix it! You will need to redo your configuration but the system will be fixed.

This issue is fixed in DOCman 1.4.0beta and higher


Owner's reply:
Yes, this is true. Out of the blue someone decided to continue the development of the DocMan component and fix ALL of the bugs it had. Thanks...

Why not part of DocMan? by maikr, March 4, 2007

I don't understand why this patch/fix isn't a normal DocMan update?

Or is there another reason why I should download a seperate update/tool instead of a contribution to an Open Source project?

Or don't I get the message here?


Owner's reply:
I didn't develope DocMan and the developer hasn't fixed the problem as far as I know. This module fixes somebody else's component. I simply saw a problem and developed a solution for that problem. I originally deleloped it for my website since I had experienced the problem twice. If you are unhappy with the problem in DocMan, I suggest that you attempt to notify the DocMan developer. If you want to continue using your DocMan installation without problems, then install this module. I have no control over the DocMan project and cannot modify the code to eliminate the problem.
