5. Your upload page on the site
The Up/Download module of Site@School has the following features:
- You can have two types of pages on the site:
a. One download page where all downloadable files can be grouped in categories, and
b. Different download pages on the site according to the categories you made.
A combination of the two types is possible.
The last option is useful when you want a download page on the public site and a download page on the 'Protected Area', or a download page for every group.
See the Page manager on this issue.
- In the up/download manager you can upload files from your computer to your school site. You can also add a description to the files.
- In the 'Protected Area' teachers can upload files for the download pages.
- An [Edit] function to change the module name and the program name to fit your language. See the Module manager chapter for details on how to change the names.

Before you can use the programs in the Up/Download module, they have to be connected to pages on your site. The module has three options:

When you go to: Module manager > Up/Download you will see:

In the Menu on the left site you see 'Manage' and 'Configuration'. When opening the Up/Download module, 'Manage' is the default option.
We will describe the 'Manage' option first, next is the 'Configuration' option.
As you can see on the above picture, you have to add a category first.
Click on 'Add a category' and you will see:

Explanation:
- Title: Here you can fill in the name of a category. The name is closely related to the following option.
- Category is connected to a page name (Yes/No)?:
When you press the 'No' button, the category you create is not bound to a page. The category will be visible on the page you created as 'Download page (categories)' during the installation of the Up/Download module.
When you press the 'Yes' button, you bind this category to a page. In order to have this option functioning, you have to create a page with exactly the same name as the category.
So, when you create a category 'History' (omit the ' and '), you must have a page with the title 'History' (omit the quotes).
- Is category for protected area (Yes/No)? You can create a category for the Protected Area only, specify "Yes" otherwise specify "No".
- Cancel: To undo your work and return to the previous page.
- Save: To save your work and return to the previous page.
When you have added a category, for example 'mycat' and made it 'protected', you will see:

Now you can add a file to the category. Click on 'Add a file' and you will see:
