this will allow files to download after the new updated (split) downloads module (someone forgot to rename something).
Now, I am well aware that version .7 has permissions the admin can set, but that does not help me because I cannot upgrade to .7 as of yet - and probably not for a while due to many modules and themes I have running. Besides, this is an interesting programming dilemma that needs to be solved, if possible.
Now, .htaccess/.htpasswd does work fine, as long as I provide an external link (eg: http://www.mysite.com/modules/Messages/replymsg.php). However, when a user provides the given password, they cannot access the page anyway because Post Nuke will not allow them to access the file directly. Besides, it wouldn't matter anyway, because that blows the purpose of private messaging an individual, because you wouldn't be able to message them directly without having to address "Who" to send it to.
Now, interestingly enough, .Htaccess/.htpasswd will NOT work within Post Nuke when trying to access Private messages or the inbox, because the links within Post Nuke are handled internally (eg: http://www.mysite.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Messages&file=index).
So, my dilemma is a tough one. How is it possible (if at all) to .htaccess/.htpasswd a modular link internally? Any ideas?? If so, then please share, because I will greatly pass on the info. My recent discovery is that Many Post Nuke users have tried to figured this out as well, and have come up with no solutions. It would greatly benefit many users if this function were simply allowed. :) It really shouldn't matter what version of Post Nuke you were running either, as an internal link is still a link. However, I am running version .64. I cannot upgrade to .7 because many of the modules I have are not compatible with .7 yet, nor are many of themes I use.
Thanks for all of your help! Take care!

Wish to have fast server, so NukeAddOn.com will provide a better services to the community.
Bandwith Highest: 15 GB/month (I would be very happy to allow user to download the mods in the future from NukeAddOn.com others then SF)
Space: enough to run two PN system for Development and Production + MySQL DB which is growing every day!
MySQL: Two DB for development and production
Email: I just need one and several alias
SSH: Shell access
Password: Protected pages (htaccess) if needed to protect the Development enviroment
If possible to have my one IP with Virtual Server
In return:
Please let me know what is the requirement :)
Again thank you for all your support and with this I will be able to bring PN into the next level.

Hello there,
I just have been informed that you had totally dropped your support to phpnuke
to switch to postnuke. As Mandrakesoft has been pushing phpnuke and reiterates
its support to Francisco Burzi for this projects and also other projects, I
have to ask you to remove as soon as possible everything that lets people
think that Mandrakesoft support nukeaddon and in particular:
- SPONSORED BY: MandrakeSoft
- MandrakeSoft Team
· Francisco Burzi
· Gael Duval
· Joel Flores-Carpio
· Frederic Leroy
- and the Mandrake banner that might appear on your pages
Thank you.
G.Duval.

Let's check this first: What's the definition of PostNuke?
Is it a real Content-Management-System? No. Sure, you can manage some text, but prof. CMS can do a lot lot more compared with the current state of PN-dev. Think of image-handling, wysiwyg editors, template engines, data-abstraction, cross-media-publishing etc. I know, that there are some mods coming up ....
Is it Community-Management-System, too? Yes. You can have Forums, Chats, IM etc. and provide content 4 the community.
So PN it a combination of CommMS & CMS. And you can set it up for E-Commerce, Intranets, or e-learning-plattforms.... Great. But in all cases you will need to have the possibility assigning specific content to related promotion-features (Polls, Chats, Banner-Ads, Products, Related Links, Downloads etc.). Call it campaigns! comunity-management starts beeing successful and fun - and a lot of work ;-), if you have the possibility of building campaigns. Not only for commercial websites.
Sure there is some stuff already there (Related Links), keep these ideas, develop them as I'm doing now. We have a block-system, we have content, we have interactive-features and a cool banner-managemt (phpads..).
I think some Nukers think a bit too technically, well we can discuss about IDs, Database Tables, XML & Co. Well xml is the de-facto-standard, but while we are building a secure and stable code, which is priority one for sure, we have to develop a roadmap, not some vague PN-Visions. Or did I miss something?
