I found the solution :
in the file administrator/components/com_yourcomp/classes/upload.php
in the line 106 :
                //Protect against execution and set writable
		@chmod($uploadPath, YOURCOMP_UPLOAD_CHMOD_FOLDER);
just comment the chmod line so that it will not change folder permission on the path where your files are.
if you have already upload files to your path before making this change.
just do a chmod 755 to your path

Nice! @mfr75!

I'd made a point of coming to this post today to point you at the upload class but you got there yourself first!

Thanks,

Good.

just comment the chmod line so that it will not change folder permission on the path where your files are.
if you have already upload files to your path before making this change.
just do a chmod 755 to your path


You can also do it propertly, not commenting, but changing the chmod for something else specific : ex : 755.
Define it in constants, or create a new constant.
Coding is now a piece of cake

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
