That's a good feature suggestion and one I would like to go into Ninja Xplorer.

Unfortunately it could be a few short months before that happens. The reason is that we have decided to halt development on the current Ninja Xplorer and are building a new one from scratch. This one will be much cleaner, more powerful hopefully, and will be ready for Joomla 1.6 as well.

Development on that new one will begin in earnest once Richie finishes his next version of Ninja Content (due out in two weeks if not sooner)

Hi,

the directory permissions is now fixed, you can get the updating version from the downloads page.

i will look at recursive permissions, at least if i dont fix it in NXplorer i can put it in the new version

Sweet. I wish I could tag along to watch the developement process take place or atleast help BETA test as the tool progresses to final release. Trying to learn php without much practical experience is a steep learning curve. Look forward to the new goods.

Ninja Content.. Hmmm.. I'll have to check that out. Didn't spend much time on the site. Just got what I needed and ran with it. I'll have to see what other goodies are on the site. Fun, Fun. Thanks for all the help Mark.

If it's something that would be a somewhat easy fix then it would be nice. But I wouldn't worry about it. Sounds like you more than have your hands full with existing projects and then the replacement Ninja eXplorer with your own version. Nothing like starting from scratch.

If you need beta testers let me know. I'll have upto 5 production sites up by the end of this month. All will be running NinjaExplorer. Atleast with 2 or 3 of those sites we could beta test for you. I know all the customers personally and they wouldn't mind. If it makes their job of webupdates and file management easier then they will be all for it. Everything is backed up differentially on a daily basis and all backups are kept for a year. So were good to go there. Bring on your BETA.

Would be great to have you help us test it when it's ready finack

Ninja Content basically brings all the power of the backend to the frontend. Good for keeping site editors as well as noob clients within the comfort of the Joomla frontend.

There's a screeny of the dashboard(not quite the latest one) here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ninjaforge/4111313286/sizes/o/

Hi Mark,

I dl'ed the latest NinjaExporer: my file was com_ninjaxplorer_v1.0.3d.zip. Uploaded and installed over the top of my NinjaExporer 1.0.3 version. Opened NE on the backend and uploaded the Beez html folder zipped up. The permissions were 644 on the zip file.

But I'm still having the same issue. When I extract the html folder with NE it's still assigning Dir's 775 and files 664.

Did I miss something?

Wow.. That's very nice. That would give my customers all the functionality they need without having to login to the backend and possibly brick the joomla install. Sweet. I would luv to beta that one as well if you would like? Let me know of any details.

These will be 2 tools that are a must until Joomla gets around to fixing and listening to there user base. Which, from the looks and sounds of it on the forums, will likely not happen anytime soon.

Thanks Mark.

hmmm. Richie will have been notified of your post so I'm sure he'll check that out when he comes online.

Will certainly send a PM to ask for your help with testing, thanks.

Yes, Ninja Content is one of my favorite extensions. It's a gold-level extension though so it depends on how much you need it.

Cheers.

Great. I'll look into the memberships. Look forward to the PM for beta'ing when it's time as well as Richie's feedback on this permissions issue.
