[geeklog-devel] Other plugins (was: Future of the Forum

[Michael Brusletten]

I've used the filemgmt plugin from Blaine without any problems for storing
files outside the web root without any problems.  But then again, this was
using it on a windows server platform.  I have not tried it on a NIX system
yet, however, I think it is still doable.
