Would it be possible to add a feature like Report Broken Link when linking to a downloadable file outside the forum's domain?

Thanks...

Hey savior i see you got the downloads link in you vbulleitn menu bar. Can you please tell me how you did that. I have done the optional edits but it didn't work.

In your AdminCP...go to the following: Styles & Templates/Style Manager

Now you'll want to select the style you're going to edit and select Edit Templates for that style.

Choose the navbar template.

What you'll want to do inside this template is decide where you want to put the link in the navbar. So if you have an idea...all you have to do is paste this code where you want the link to appear:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="downloads.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[ecdownloads_downloads]</a></td>

So just try to find the locations that show "vbmenu_control" in the navbar template...and add the line of code above where you want the link to appear.

BTW...I'm using vbulletin 3.6.8 PL2.

Hope this helped...

i appreciate if this could bee replied

How do i possible add a relevance feature on search function?
Example when isearch for DEF ABC
the result shows only DEF ABC

but if i search for ABC DEF
no results will be shown.
even though the files are their but in reversed

so thats why it will be alot nicer if the search function would be searched by relevance...
please help

i appreciate if this could bee replied If you are getting a blank page, then you probably have an error in your htaccess file. Or ... quite simply the file is just too big! I see you have max size set to @ 1 GB. That's a huge file for http transfer.

Instead of searching for "ABC DEF", search for "ABC, DEF". That way the search treats each word as a word instead of the two words as a phrase.

thanks alot for the reply, but should it result blank page when i import only 4 files and they are at least around 450 mb together. isnt it timeoutissue on the script? i removed the htaccess coded and modified it on phpini instead but didnt work much

but the thing is members are acting retards, since yesterday i got 30 pm that the search function is not working properly. and 30 pms is considered little if you see how much pm i get everyday even though i went on public announcing how to search.

But using the comma is an idea just that im afraid non my members will pay attention to

thanks alot for the reply, but should it result blank page when i import only 4 files and they are at least around 450 mb together. isnt it timeoutissue on the script? i removed the htaccess coded and modified it on phpini instead but didnt work much The import feature in the admincp uses a direct unix copy. I don't see how it could time out but let me do some more testing.

but the thing is members are acting retards ... But using the comma is an idea just that im afraid non my members will pay attention to
LOL ... we do have it clearly displayed about using the comma. Try this if you want. In downloads.php around line 1814 FIND:
$keyword = explode(",",$_POST['query']);

REMOVE the comma in "," making that " " instead ... like this:
$keyword = explode(" ",$_POST['query']);

By doing that, each word will be a separate search element. You won't be able to search by phrases but that sounds like a good trade-off for you.

Hi!

Because of unknown reason I got error
Warning: copy(./downloads//ec_tmp/Whitesnake.ttf) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /downloads.php on line 700
ERROR: File not found.

Does anyone know the solution?

Cheers!

I see my previous post was not seen. I'd like anybody helps me. My girlfriend who is second admin added manually about 260 files so I'd like to fix it until she cut my b**ls :D

I was mistaken delete the DownloadsII tabels, I load them back from my BackUp daily DB I see every thing Ok , when I click Download I get the Msg bellow!!!

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 4:

Invalid SQL:

thanx all SOLVED

i was missing :

Solution: I drop the table dl_downloads and input the :
--

--

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `dl_downloads`;
CREATE TABLE `dl_downloads` (

Hi, because of the problem i have before after changing to dedicated server, now i'm gonna install Windows Server with IIS. Since DownloadsII when importing use Unix command, i was wondering if this works with Windows Server instead of linux (i'll be importing hundreds of files weekly)??? Thanks for your help.
Yes, you should be ok. I say it does a unix copy but that's not really correct. It uses the php copy function (http://us3.php.net/function.copy).

BTW - my unsolicited 2 cents .... stay away from IIS for an Internet web server!

Hello

Thanks for your reply, but actually i want google ads to be displayed in the first post i make (the post for writing description of software etc.,) I am not interested in members comments; i tried the modification you have mentioned above but it doesn't work because i am modifying comments template. Can you please tell me the exact template to modify and where shall i insert adsense.

Also i am using another mod (vB Forum Feeds by CinVin ), have you any idea how can i include my download section on the rss feeds page.

I am also using vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap for vBulletin; am not sure whether it includes pages from my download section. Do you know whether it automatically integrates with this mode or need to be integrated with it.

Thanks

The file info page can be found in the downloads_file template. The file description (which isn't a first post) is named $description in it, so you can place your google AdSense code after it.

DownloadsII isn't offering an RSS feed at the moment.

I don't use that mod, but I think it doesn't integrate in DownloadsII. You better ask this in the thread of that mod, as the author will know it :)

thax alot

http://www.w99of.com/vb/uploaded/folder1/405_01201794235.png

hope for help to solve this

Nice spot :)

Most people are using ltr languages, so I never thougt about testing this. We are using a lot of align="left" attributes in our HTML code, which seems to break the vBulletin rtl compatibility.

Look into the downloads templates for align="left" and change them to align="right". I will look into this further for a next version ;)

Would it be possible to add a feature like Report Broken Link when linking to a downloadable file outside the forum's domain?

Thanks...

I want this to be integrated in v6, but I don't know which method would be best: where should the reports go? Sending a pm to the admin(s), sending a mail to the admin(s), having a reported downloads section in the DownloadsII AdminCP part or having them posted in a reported downloads forum?

I think we are going to integrate the third option and place some hook locations to make the other things possible with an add-on.

Yeah, I prefer Unix and Apache myself too CR but i have tried everything i thought of about the problem i have but couldn't get it right. Changed PHP configuration, upgrade & downgrade apache, upgrade & downgrade php, MySQL, reinstall different OS (Red Hat 4/5, CentOS 4/5), bought another dedicated server and run it as MySQL server only one 1 server and one is serving files (vice versa). Nothing help and i'm loosing members because of this. Maybe someone on here who know apache and php configuration really well can help me please?
Thanks again CY.

P.S. I'm more than happy to pay you or RS_Jelle as donation if you guy can get into my server and maybe fix this problem for me as i'm already spending too much money on this (everything else is working fine). :erm:

It should work on all OS'es. I'm using it myself on a colocated CentOS 5 server with Plesk and it works fine out-of-the-box.

Please pm me an admin login for your forum and FTP.

Some of my buttons/links dont work on my nabar. Can someone please change this code around. I dont care where the buttons/links go.

You are mixing some HTML tags together in an invalid method. Although the correct way is guided in the Readme-Install.txt (what you have to search for in the navbar template and what you need to place exactly after that).

Fixed version (didn't test it, but it should work):

That's pretty strange, but GARS isn't a free script, so I can't test it :(

Could you bring this issue to the attention of the GARS developer? DownloadsII is available for free, so he can test it out :)
He can always contact me to sort it out together.
I already did (well, not exactly to the originally developer, becouse he is not taking care of GARS anymore, but to his successor, Morgan) and her viewpoint on this is like she is not familiar with Downloads II and so far she has no clues, what could be cause of this. I asked her, if she could contact you (and sent her link to this discussion), but I suppose, that she did not, right? If not, maybe you could send word to her? Please, be so kind ;-).

Maybe someone else will find the solution:
http://www.thevbgeek.com/showthread.php?t=3865

Well, I hope at least, becouse we have Downloads II offline for more than 1 week already and our users are missing it :-(.

No, Morgan didn't contact me. You can always send me a pm if you are willing to give me (temporary) admin access to your forum (vBulletin and FTP), so I can check it out and try to fix it.

No, that's not possible.

The Ronin part is necessary for the license as DownloadsII v5 is a derivate work from Ronin's ecDownloads, which is released under an attribution license. And our part is a bit of recognition :)

I have that same problem too.
Can someone please tell me how I can fix this?

AdminCP -> DownloadsII -> Settings -> Sort by Weight -> Yes

The description of that setting is wrong: "downloads" should be "categories" there.

You can specify the extensions you want to allow for upload in the DownloadsII settings ;)

Edit: now I saw you mean [html] BBCode :p
This is possible for the description field (you've got a full vB text editor there). Raw HTML is also possible if you enable this for non-forum areas in your main vB settings, but this is of course not secure.

It's described in the Readme-Install.txt :

Perform the following OPTIONAL template edit (only required if you want a 'Downloads' link in your navigation bar)

Find in navbar:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

If you are running vBulletin 3.6.7 (or higher), you need to search for the following as it changed slightly:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Add below:

I am NOT!!!!! asking how to add a link... I am not stupid :confused::confused::confused:
I ask, if you read my thread... If you could add the possibility that I can put the files into PRE! HTML

NOT: /var/www/webX/html/downloads/file.zip
BUT: /var/www/webX/downloads/file.zip

So the downloads can not be hotlinked or touched by web, except using the Script.
I would even pay if you would do it exclusive for me and in near future :)

In this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1434908&postcount=2277) you linked to a question (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1430365&postcount=2237) of thecool444, which was about placing a link in the navbar. So I did read your post correctly :)

Custom paths will be supported in v6 ;)

You mean in /var/www/webX/downloads/file.zip in stead of
/var/www/webX/public_html/downloads/zip?
I don't even think this would work in version 6.:)
Because your webbrowser (and thus also the script!!!) can't read directory's outside or rather PRE your webdirectory, unless you would give read access to this directory for the script (thus webbrowser) which would be rather stupid in my opinion, if already possible because you need root rights to make this happen.

Is there a way to control the sorting of the files once they are in their databases? I want to order my files in ascending, numbered order but no matter what I do to the weighting, the order is not altered. The most recent file I upload will always be placed at the top of the database I uploaded it to. Any help?

I guess you mean ordered ascending by title?

Open downloads.php
Find
if (!in_array($sortfield, $sortfields))
{
$sortfield = 'date';
}
Replace with
if (!in_array($sortfield, $sortfields))
{
$sortfield = 'name';
}

This is replaced with category based default sorting in v6.

/var/www/webX/public_html/downloads/zip?

Oh in that way? Cool!
But:
This file path should be readable AND writeable by your web server (usually chmod 0777)
But like I said, it's seems not wise to put such 777 directory pre the public_html directory.

hi,

Is there anyway to customise the error message. An example of this instance would be prompting the user to wait in between download before downloading again. I would like to add a message like they could surf the site while waiting for the time to expire.

Thanks

That's the ecdownloads_download_too_quickly phrase in the Error Messages phrase type category. You can change it in the AdminCP (Languages & Phrases).

Hello, when I use GARS too, i cant upload anything as admin. DownloadsII reported me every time i have to fill out the red marked things, but i had all fill out and nothing is red marked.
When I turned off GARS then is all right.

Please help !!!

This is already reported in this thread. There's also a topic (http://www.thevbgeek.com/showthread.php?t=3865) about it on the vB Geek forums. The problem was introduced with the newest GARS release.

But I don't have a GARS license, so I can't bugfix it. And Morgan from GARS says she isn't familiar with DownloadsII :p

Like I already said: if someone is willing to give me temporally access to his vB AdminCP and FTP, I will try to sort it out. You can always contact me using pm.

The top contributors are always the same people on my site because only a few people are allowd to upload (mainly moderators).
Is there a way to remove the "Top Contributors" part of that column?

I think you mean the "Can Avoid Moderation Queue" usergroup permission?

Setting the amount of top contributors to 0 (and run the update counters) will hide it ;)

Not shure if this helps but there is a hack to show the downloads on homepage using VB advanced CMPS, you can integrate the sidebars into your forum homepage and then you will have downloads on forum home, as for the RSS feed I would be interested to see if this is possible as well.

hello, i aprpeciate if the author(s) can at least take a considertaion regarding the report feature since i dont think im the only one who like this feature since this can help us to prevent any illegal uploads

and also on manage files when i want to delete a certain category it shows totally blank even though that category consist 2000 files. And i do not know if the files will be deleted on server if i delete the category by admincp

The report feature is being considerated, but I mainly focus on problems as there are plenty of suggestions :)

Removing categories using the AdminCP isn't created for removing files. Manage files should normally work fine. Are you giving up correct values in the dropdown menus (for pin etc.) when getting the files you want to select?

I have a question , and forgive me yes I am a noob.

The amount will be lowered for v6, but in your case it doesn't matter a lot as you aren't having a lot of files. Queries are only slow when they need to scan huge tables in badly optimized ways.

Is your downloads folder writable (chmodded to 777 permissions)? Normally you should get a notice about it in a white bar on the top of your downloads section.
You also need to do an extra step when you are running PHP in safe mode, but you should get a notice about that too normally.

An RSS-feed is being considerated. For the other thing, you can use the vBa CMPS module like Revhead says. If you want a different integration, it should be possible with a plugin. Creating custom stuff with the module code is very easy.

I just want to give this coder a big rap he listens and responds to each and everyone of us, what allso really impresses me in this mod is that it is the http://validator.w3.org/ WC3 markup validation, this is really helping me to streamlin my site and get it to pass, I wish more developers would try and pass XHTML 1.0 Transitional Validation

I think all Hacks Mods should be put though the XHTML 1.0 Transitional validation before being allowed to be disstributed on here.

Hmm, then you can't use vBulletin :p
The AdminCP contains a lot of (easy to fix) XHTML errors which won't be fixed (not important enough).

I just made it valid for having clean code, but it's still pretty ugly XHTML code as vBulletin is using tables. I really hope vB 4 will be semantic.

Making it necessary for posting mods would go too far IMO, but it would be nice to have it as an extra checkbox for mods. That would encourage mod authors a bit.

thanks for replying :)

I just checked out your site and I think I understand now what you are meaning, but this is normal behaviour. When you select a category to display in Manage Files, it only shows files that are really in that category and NOT those from its sub-cats. So you need to start from the deepest sub-categories, removing those files (and then the category itself), climbing up to the main category you wanted to remove.

The DownloadsII "Downloads" part in the AdminCP is the downloads log. So these aren't files or something, but just a log of what files were downloaded when and by which members.

You can prune it automatically using the "Prune Download log entries" setting ;)

Ahhh! Got it! Thanks....

I seen others ask for this... but is there/will there be a way to prevent users from categories/sub categories. I have my downloads open to only certain folks. But I would like to open it more, but only certain public categories. The usergroup setting is off or on... there is no control there...

There's the "Exclude Categories" usergroup setting:

When set to "Yes", only the categories listed below can be viewed by this group. When set to "No", all categories can be viewed except the ones listed below.

So you probably want to set it to "Yes" and then list them in the field below.

Great mod.. but when I enable the "tops" on all pages settings the WYSIWYG breaks the layout and expands the right table. (I would show you but it only does it when the user is logged in)

I guess this could be fixed by disabling comments but I would love to keep the comments and tops on all pages simultaneously, if possible.

You can't fix that at the moment as the WYSIWYG editor has a default width. For v6 we will be switching to the small Quick Reply type editor.

You can use template conditionals:

Easier:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)">

If anyone has a good downloads.php addon for the vbseo google/yahoo sitemap generator (stand alone mod) which does not generate a parse error because it misses a ; somewhere (at least the error notice says this) I would really be obliged.
Because support is very slow in that mod, if any.

I'm sorry, but I'm not very familiar with that mod or other vBSEO stuff :o

the bbcode is not activated on download main page. when i view the files through the category i only see commands while i visit the download page i can see the bbcode activated...

That's normal behaviour. We are stripping all BBCode on the category view intentionally. Otherwise we would break it sometimes as the description is truncated there.

Is there indeed an existing exploit at the moment? People can say there is, but I won't turn downloads II off until it's confirmed.

@RSJelle: I think the problem is in the code of the addon. Probably the "order by" piece. It's complaining about a missing ; or something, you are good at code, maybe you can see what's wrong because you know a lot of code and also know which tables are used in the present downloads II version.
This is the downloads addon code they use:
$mods = $db->query("SELECT id,name FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_cats ORDER BY `id`");
while ($mod = $db->fetch_array($mods))
{
$url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'].'/downloads.php?do=cat&id='.$mod['id'];

if(VBSEO_ON)
$url = vbseo_any_url($url);

vbseo_add_url($url, 1.0, '', 'daily');
}

$mods = $db->query("SELECT id as fid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files");
while ($mod = $db->fetch_array($mods))
{
$url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'].'/downloads.php?do=file&id='.$mod['fid'];

if(VBSEO_ON)
$url = vbseo_any_url($url);
vbseo_add_url($url, 1.0, '', 'daily');
}

From the previous version the change to "dl_files" and "dl_cats". Previously Order by was by 'order' which now they changed to 'id' but maybe this is not correct anymore or there are some other problems.
If you can't see it, oke, bad luck for me then.:)

Or the file will open in a new firefox tab with a bunch of weird symbols etc..

Any fix or reason how to fix?

I CHMOD 777 the downloads directory, downloads.php is CHMOD 664 tried 777 but no cigar.

Check the chmod of the files inside the downloads directory. They should have chmod 666 permissions.

You don't need to chmod downloads.php as there's no need to change it :p

And line 21 is the first line of the script which starts with $mods. However, I'm not logged in then and I started the addon stand-alone by visiting the file in the url, so maybe it has nothing to do with the problem.

Can you put the full XML file with the error online (pm me the url)? There's a syntax error in it, but it's easier for me to look at the original as this part is a bit strange (for example the span tag?).

Try to use this PHP code for solving the query() error:
$mods = $vbulletin->db->query("SELECT id,name FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_cats ORDER BY `id`");
while ($mod = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($mods))
{
$url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'].'/downloads.php?do=cat&id='.$mod['id'];

if(VBSEO_ON)
$url = vbseo_any_url($url);

vbseo_add_url($url, 1.0, '', 'daily');
}

$mods = $vbulletin->db->query("SELECT id as fid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files");
while ($mod = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($mods))
{
$url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'].'/downloads.php?do=file&id='.$mod['fid'];

i may have overlooked this .. but 24 pages of posts is much :P

1. an "uploading" image. some files take a liong time to upload. people might think it crashed or got stuck. an uploading image might show them its just taking long :)

2. a thumbnail beside every uploaded type of file. maybe even an thumbnail from the image/pics themselves?

3. Somehow, files from 30-40MB and up dont upload.
My server is pretty fast and i have space to spare... so a 30-40 MB file isnt a problem.
Is this a problem for DOWNLOADSII ??
(The usergroup settings all have 100+ MB as limit.)

3.) The uploadproblem of 30-40 mb or higher could be a server limitation problem.
Could be the host has set the upload_max_filesize = 40 mb. Check the php.ini or ask your host what filesize it says.

GuaRRand

That's because of the default upload limit of PHP.

You need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M

Upload the file into your forum directory (the same location where downloads.php is located.)

This will increase the size of the file you can upload to 30MB.

No, just the standard chmod rights (readable). Watch out for the strange file name, maybe you wrote it wrong. And it needs to be uploaded in the vB forum root (where you can find downloads.php), not in the downloads folder. That's it.

Although webhosts can disable the .htaccess method, so you better contact your webhosting company.

So far i have uploaded the files in the upload folder , added the xml file, and set directory permissions of the downloads folder to full control

Restarted the IIS service, and i dont have the downloads category in my admin CP, any help?

Are you sure you uploaded includes/xml/cpnav_ecdownloads.xml correctly? That's the (only) file which controls the AdminCP menu.

You can find the vBadvanced CMPS module in the adv_portal_ecdownloads template ;)

So there you can add for example

<tr align="center">
<td class="alt1">

</td>
</tr>

somewhere.

Now you are confusing me :p
You were talking about the "download module" and the only module we've got is the vBadvanced CMPS module (add-on).

Where do you want to place the ads?

You can place them almost everywhere as all the layout can be found in the Downloads template group.

This notice already says enough, your webhost does not allow you to use this setting in a .htacces file. You have to contact your host to increase the max file uploadsize.

Thanks Black Tiger, I've already contacted my host and they have increased it to 10MB.

Hi!
I'm afraid that ask too much for a free and opensource product, but please do smth with sql queries. I have more then 30 on many pages of downloads. It's terrible, as I'm using VPS and mysql usually fells down every evening:mad:

===
But still big thanks for such a great product.

Already fixed in v6 ;)

But I don't think DownloadsII is the cause of your MySQL server going down. Then you should have really a lot of files. How much of files do you have in your downloads section?

On the stats page the the date of the downloads is a day off. When I set my GMT time under CP -> User options to GMT it reports the right day. The days I upload the files are all correct but the Stats page reports it wrong. Is this a bug or something designed in?

The stats page is giving the download bandwidth stats, not the upload stats. So if today no one already downloaded a file (uploaded, not a linked one), today won't be displayed. Normally it should work fine.

Any word on if this works with 3.7?

Yes, except for the optional profile template edits.

triff

02-28-2008, 05:35 PM

That's because of the default upload limit of PHP.

You need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M

Upload the file into your forum directory (the same location where downloads.php is located.)

This will increase the size of the file you can upload to 30MB.

I'm getting an "Internal Server Error" on my forum when implementing that code in my .htaccess files. :( I have some vbseo rewrite rules in the .htaccess file from before. Any idea why this happened? What should I do wo be able to post the bigger files?

All my settings are correct, I can duplicate the issue...I'm curious to why that file type won't upload...

Warcaptain

03-03-2008, 01:33 AM

It would be nice if there was a mod of this that used the existing attachment system too.

for example:
-the filetype permissions are the same for attachments as they are for downloads
-when uploading an attachment for a thread or post you can select which catagory the attachment should be (would go in default catagory otherwise)

itd be a cool way of being able to search and browse through all the files on the forums.

either way, nice.. keep it up and i enjoy it!

Hi, great MOD. I see there is a setting in the Usergroups to allow access to categories... it wants 1,2,3,4 etc. But how am I suppose to know which is 1 or 2 or whatever? I go to the categories and edit them, but there is no number associated with the category. When I list out the categories to edit, a drop down shows them, but no number. Is that what I am suppose to go by? I have a couple of categories in the middle of this list that I only want certain Usergroups access, but not everyone... and I can't establish what their category number is...

glennybee

Hover your cursor over the link to the category and look at the status bar at the bottom of your browser, it should show you the category number there.

Or click on 'Category Tree'.

Hi,

I have a problem and I was wondering if anyone knows a way round it. :)

I'm on a shared hosting and my upload limit is 10MB. But I have unlimited ftp upload.

Is there anyway that I could upload a large fine via ftp and still have it showing in the downloads section?

For example,

Could I upload a 1MB file.
FTP to my server, replace the rar file in /downloads with the larger file but keep the same filename.

Would the new file be downloadable on the forum?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Glen

Black Tiger

03-03-2008, 10:04 PM

I'm getting an "Internal Server Error" on my forum when implementing that code in my .htaccess files.
In that case your host does not allow you to make these entry's in .htaccess files. You have to contact your host to increase the upload filesize.

@Iettafune: Yes, if you allow guests viewing the files it will. You can also use the vbSEO Google/Yahoo sitemap generator, it has a downloads.php addon in there. This sitegenerator mod can be used stand-alone so you don't need vbSEO installed.

FTP to my server, replace the rar file in /downloads with the larger file but keep the same filename.
Probably you can but there is a better solution. Create a separate directory on your webserver, for example http://www.yoursite.com/large/ or something like that.
FTP the 10mb file into that directory.
Then go to your "add file" option in Downloads II and use the "link to file" option.
The only thing you have to do is to add the filesize in bytes yourself, but that's easy.
Suppose your file is 10,2mb then do 10,2x1024x1024 and you should have the size in bytes, but leave of the numbers after the komma, so if the output is 10695475,2 just put 10695475 as the filesize. It works great.
When you have to delete the file, remember to delete them from downloads II and also from that directory because linked files are not deleted automatically (ofcourse).

Like I said, it's in the vbSEO google/yahoo sitemap generator. This generator can also be installed stand-alone without vbseo,works great.
You can find it here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144730) at vb.org.

ps: this mod run on 3.7.0??
Yes it should, because I've got it running on vb 3.7.0 beta 5.

@Econobarn: Sorry I don't know why it gives the error when you have defined the filetype, I guess you have to wait until RSJelle has a look at your problem.

At the moment I'm redoing the layout again as I'm not satisfied with the new one I previously created.

The current version works fine with vBulletin 3.7, except for the optional profile template edits (as the 3.7 profile is totally new).

Don't think i am using the the vbadvanced module :x

For adding ads to the top and the bottom of the script, open the DOWNLOADS template. $dmain is the downloads page content, so you can add your ads code above and below it.

For adding it above the file comments, you need to edit the downloads_file template. Put your ads code above
<if condition="$dl->allowcomments">

Is there anyway to make a member only accessible to use download once they've reach certain no of post?

Create an extra members usergroup and use the vB promotion system to promote users to it when they have a certain amount of posts. Then just use the DownloadsII usergroup permissions.

Is there a RSS Feed for the newest downloads?

Not yet at this moment, but it's on our todo list.

You already asked this some time ago. Like I said, you first need to delete the sub-categories (manually) and then remove the category itself.

All my settings are correct, I can duplicate the issue...I'm curious to why that file type won't upload...

If that's the exact error message, it isn't from DownloadsII. Are you getting it on a white page etc. (not vB styled)? Maybe it's blocked by your server configuration.

Can you pm me your site url and a username/login for your downloads section, so I can check it out?

It would be nice if there was a mod of this that used the existing attachment system too.

for example:
-the filetype permissions are the same for attachments as they are for downloads

RS_Jelle, I'd like to provide you some basic code for supporting resumes when downloading...

Keep in mind, I have't converted this as of yet to plug in to the downloads.php but I'm definitely getting ready to, if you choose not to in your next version. I'm dealing with big files (UT3 maps and mods), hitting 20-30M easy, so I need this.

Still looking for RSS support out of your mod, but, I'll not look to solve that if you're working on it. If it's on the "to-do" list with no active work toward it, let me know, and I'll pull something together for that.

Lastly, if you want me to just shut the hell up, let me know. :)

Here goes for supporting resuming downloads...
// Begin writing headers
header("Cache-Control:");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Type: $ctype");

$filespaces = str_replace("_", " ", $filename);
// if your filename contains underscores, replace them with spaces

$header='Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filespaces;
header($header);
header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");

$size = filesize($file);
// check if http_range is sent by browser (or download manager)
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
// if yes, download missing part

$seek_range = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'] , 6);
$range = explode( '-', $seek_range);
if($range[0] > 0) { $seek_start = intval($range[0]); }
if($range[1] > 0) { $seek_end = intval($range[1]); }

header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content");
header("Content-Length: " . ($seek_end - $seek_start + 1));
header("Content-Range: bytes $seek_start-$seek_end/$size");
} else {
header("Content-Range: bytes 0-$seek_end/$size");
header("Content-Length: $size");
}
//open the file
$fp = fopen("$file","rb");

//seek to start of missing part
fseek($fp,$seek_start);

//start buffered download
while(!feof($fp)) {
//reset time limit for big files
set_time_limit(0);
print(fread($fp,1024*$speed));
flush();
sleep(1);
}

03-10-2008, 08:00 PM

small fix request!
When you go to the "Add file" page and fill out all the fields and hit submit, if you try to upload a file with an extension that is not allowed, the page refreshes with an error stating " You may only upload ..." but it deletes the previous content that you typed into the "description" field?

Is this just happening to me?

Black Tiger

03-10-2008, 09:43 PM

@Upnorth: No that's normal behaviour. Why should it keep the contect of the description if you are not allowed to upload it anyway?

upnorth

03-11-2008, 02:10 PM

The reason I think this is important is that if a user selects an incorrect file by mistake then they have to retype everything in their description from scratch instead of being giving the opportunity to re select the proper file. From a user perspective is this way more friendly...make sense?

Black Tiger

03-11-2008, 02:34 PM

Ofcourse that makes sense and I agree with you. Happened to me too so now I really take care to not make mistakes.:)

On the other hand, if no mistake was made and the file already was uploaded or something and the user wants to upload another file (so with another description) then the one he had in mind, he has to wipe the description and stuff.
Little work but still....

However I agree with you that this would happen less, and choosing the wrong file like you describe it could happen more often.

That's why I support your suggestion to change it so the description and stuff will not be wiped. If it's possible to make it ofcource.
But RSJelle can tell us, I'm sure of that.

03-12-2008, 06:09 PM

@Lifeonmars: sorry, if you don't get an error notice now, I have no clue and you have to wait for RSJelle to answer to the problem.

@Upnorth: Yep, I had the same problem. Filesize is too big.
Not everytime an error notice is given, at my site also the screen just refreshes without notice.

So you also have to do the .htaccess adjustment or ask the host how high the upload filesize setting is for your site.

I cancelled the import partway when I suddenly remembered to add some extra info to the files I was importing. Then I restarted the importing process and the files were successfully imported. At this point, not one file had been downloaded from my site. Now, when I check the main downloads page, I see that the total number of downloads has gone from 0 to 4294967283.

Can anybody help me to solve this problem? :rolleyes:

EDIT: Well, I guess I changed 4294967283 to 1 through PhPMyAdmin and my issue was solved as downloading a second file updated the number of downloads from 1 to 2.

I have an issues with the latest version. I recently put in two new sections in my downloads and have set it so only certain usergroups can access them. The problem is they are unable to see it. No matter which way I put the Exclude Categories section and the To permit this usergroup to view all categories options. It is either they can see the excluded categories (6 and 7, which out of these two I only want them to see 6) or they can only see categories 1-5.

Any help in resolving this would be appreciated as I have run out of ideas myself.

If I have several secondary user groups, this does not inherit the permissions of each user group. While one usergroup may be limited to categories 1,2,3 and another secondary group to 4,5,6 - if one of my users pays for both usergroups it doesn't inherit the permissions of both groups to enable to view the combination of both categories because it excludes categories in both groups.

Is there a possible fix or solution to this?

My users purchase products through the subscription which gives them access to download products as well as access to support forums for those products. Each usergroup is based on permissions and if they purchase two products, then two forums open to them and they are then a member of two usergroups. Each of these usergroups with separate download category permissions.

Thank you in advance for anyone who has encountered and possibly fixed this or knows of a solution.

This is a fantastic product though and much appreciate the time that went into it.

I don't know if this has been asked yet or not, forgive me if it has.

I would like to know if there is a way when a user clicks the screenshot it shows the preview of the screenshot instead of forcing them to download the file?

The biggest complaint I get is when they find the file they are looking for, and they want to take a look at the screenshot, it downloads the file. Then they realize that if they click the Title url to the download, then they can take a look at the full size screenshot.

Thanks for the hard work on this mod, it is a great addition to my forums :)

I would think that you could change the link if you wanted to, or simply change the + mark image to an image that shows direct download. That's what we are doing because the + mark doesn't explain enough.

The image is located here: images/buttons/collapse_tcat_collapsed.gif

It doesn't seem to have it's own css and borrows the theme css and basically puts the tcat image in the place of a download. So create a new button and call it downloads II and upload it into your images file. Then go into the downloads.php file and search for the tcat text and change that button to match to the download button you've just created.

I realize this doesn't solve the issue of popping up, but while you are in that download.php file it will offer a bit of a solution.

If you want to remove the download.php function on the + button all together, simply go into the downloads.php file and search for:
act=down
located on the tcat_collapsed location. If you remove the act=down, you are removing the action to download and thus calling the description rather than the download action.

Hope this helps!

I had a buddy of mine help me fix the issue I was having. Here is the new code so that the screen shot is now viewable instead of downloading the file.

Change line 331 to
$thumb_q = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_images WHERE file = ".$file['id']." ORDER BY `id` ASC LIMIT 0,1");

Change line 339 to
$filethumb = '<a href="'.$dl->url.$thumb_x['name'].'" '.$target.'><img src="'.$dl->url.$thumb_x['thumb'].'" align="middle" title="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download'].' '.$file['name'].'" alt="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads'].'" border="0" /></a> ';

Change line 343 to
$filethumb = '<a href="'.$dl->url.$thumb_x['name'].'" '.$target.'><img src="'.$dl->url.$thumb_x['thumb'].'" align="middle" title="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download'].' '.$file['name'].'" alt="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads'].'" border="0" /></a> ';

Some of my members are reporting being told they've exceeded their daily limit despite being in a usergroup with no limits. I've re-imported the product file, confirmed they are seeing the error message by logging in as their username and checked the groups permissions were set correctly (see screenshot).

Any thoughts on the problem might be would be gratefully received...

Thanks!

Some additional feedback. With all limit settings at -1 I have the problem whether it's their primary or secondary usergroup (I also tried moving them to a different group) but changing the download limit to a high number is a workaround so it feels as if 'no limit' isn't being applied correctly...

I apologize if this has been answered but this thread is huge and I searched but came up with nothing on download.com. Has there been a method I missed setup to use to link to files such as those on download.com? There is no file extension on those..only a lengthy url that won't fit into the Link to a file bar and even if it will it won't accept it because it says it isn't a valid extension.

Thanks in advance

this has such great potential, especially with the 3.7 update. I know they have never wanted it to be a paid mod, but with all the time they have put into it in the past, im surprised its not.

I would like to know if it is possible to add additional "Custom" fields or dropdowns for files uploaded via this mod.

For example, when my users upload a 3D Model to my site, I'd love to have the ability for them to be able to indicate what software the model is for, how many polygons comprise the model, if textures are included, and does the model require any special plugins, if so what?

I realize all of this could be placed in the model description, but it would be nice to be able to establish a set standard so that all of the files have the same information.

How would one go about adding additional fields for files using this system?

You need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M

Upload the file into your forum directory (the same location where downloads.php is located.)

This will increase the size of the file you can upload to 30MB.

Hello everyone.

I've Installed this and it is absolutely brilliant. Works perfectly

One question if someone can help me.

To Increase the upload limit I create a file and place it into the forum dir.
What type of file is it ? Is it a text file ? or something different ?

How do I create this file ?

Just a little confused :confused:

Thanks for any replies.

It should be called .htaccess : htaccess is the extension/file type and there's no file name (nothing before the point). Windows doesn't like creating those files, but you can rename them with your FTP program.

There is no option to add custom fields at this moment. If you have some PHP knowledge it is possible, but it's not a one-line of code thing.

Ah, I see. You said three WORDS in your question before.

Look for this code around line 1789 in downloads.php:
$text = trim($text);
if (strlen($text) >= 4)

lower the 4 to the number you want.

I've tested dropping my value to 2. No error. The line number your reference above has nothing to do with searching. Hmmm ... my guess is you accidentally deleted a ). Make sure 101 - 104 looks like this:

If you are still having trouble. download a new copy of downloads.php, change the 4 again, and load the file to your site. :)

No, that can't actually be done right now. You can prevent a usergroup from seeing a catergory but you can't restrict it in the way you want. That is big on the list of feature enhancements.

is this still in the pipeline for a future update?

u think u can ask ur coding partner to discuss about the search relevance? since when i searched for liek 3 letters 7 pages comes up with just random file name. the thing is that since it only got 3 letters it shows all files with that letters no matter if its middle name or comming from a long name so which can be hard to find what user wants

Is it also possible to "refine" the search feature since when searching for something like ABC the result comes

1 ABC

Evilthoutz, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I am Root Admin. I dont understand why this would come up.

Where's the setting to extend the limit on the length of the category name?

sweeps78

04-16-2008, 05:32 PM

That's not a default feature as some people are using bigger images, which will mess up the layout. I'm doing it with some template edits of the downloads_main and downloads_main_catbit templates. You need to put a higher colspan value in the first template and put the category image in a separate td in the second template.

Could you explain how you accomplished this? I'm decent in php, but not an expert. If I had some examples to go off of, I could go from there.

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.

Just an FYI to anyone that was wondering, I edited the downloads_main template:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="{$stylevar['tablewidth']}" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="{$stylevar['cellpadding']}" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="0" width="100%">
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="10%"></td>
<td class="thead" width="20%">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_category']}</td>
<td class="thead" width="60%">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_description']}</td>
<td class="thead" width="10%">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_files']}</td>
</tr>
$dcatbits
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" colspan="3">
<span style="float:left">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads']}: {$dl->stats['downloads']}</span>
<span style="float:right"><phrase 1="{$dl->stats['files']}" 2="{$dl->stats['categories']}">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_x_files_in_y_categories']}</phrase>.</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

and the downloads_main_catbit

<tr valign="top">
<td class="$bgclass" valign="top" align="middle" nowrap="nowrap">
<if condition="$cat['catimage'] != ''">
<br /><br /><a href="downloads.php?do=cat&id={$cat['id']}"><img src="{$cat['catimage']}" alt="{$cat['name']}" title="{$cat['name']}" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</td>
<td class="$bgclass" valign="top" align="left" nowrap="nowrap">
<a href="downloads.php?do=cat&id={$cat['id']}">{$cat['name']}</a>
</td>
<td class="$bgclass" valign="top" align="left"><span class="smallfont">{$cat['description']}$subcats</span></td>
<td class="$bgclass" valign="top" align="center" height="40"><span class="smallfont">{$cat['files']}</span></td>

Use SSH instead of FTP - if possible - to do such actions.

Just use the "Exclude Categories" and "Can Download Files" usergroup permissions for guests.

That's not a real DownloadsII problem. You probably still have the "DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On" installed, which doesn't work without DownloadsII itself.

No, except from giving them AdminCP access (which isn't a good idea).

then if guest like a downloads, he registers in the forum.
