== Upgrade Notice ==

Nothing worth mentionning yet. 

== Installation ==

1. Nothing special, just upload the files, activate and you can then visit the settings page if you want. Like any 
other plugin
1. You need then to create a page and insert the [customer-area] shortcode. Your customers will be able to access their
private content on that page.
1. Finally, you will need to create content for the users (!): you can start with a private file for instance. Just 
check out the WordPress menu in your administration panel, you can add new customer files just like any post. Simply 
upload a file (below the content box), set the owner of that file, publish, and your customer should be able to see it.  

== Screenshots ==

Coming soon.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How can I forbid direct download of user files? =

If someone knows the URL of a particular user file, he can download it without restriction. You can however secure this
by copying the file "protect-downloads.htaccess" included in our plugin's extras folder to the plugin's upload folder
(it should be /wp-content/customer-area). Then you will need to rename that file ".htaccess" so that your server takes
it into account.

= That feature is missing, will you implement it? =

Open a new topic on the plugin's support forum, I will consider every feature request and all ideas are welcome.

= I implemented something, could you integrate it in the plugin? =

Contributions are welcome. Additionally, if you wish to participate to development, you can send us an email 
([check-out our website](http://www.marvinlabs.com)) and tell us a little bit about you (specially, send us a link to your wordpress.org profile
with your other developed plugins.
