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

The beauty comes from a fast slick and reliable platform that readily provides developers with everything they'll need to build the backbone of a solid and secure component with wizards for authoring access publishing aliasing created/modified by dates... you name it COOK provides it! J-Cook really surpasses all of the 'competition' as far as MVC tools are concerned! Try love it and get cooking!
